Property
Although unlikely to be at the forefront of your thinking when it comes to professional health practice, there are a number of property exposures which are realised each year by health practices resulting in damage, loss and disruption to business.
This section of Riskequip looks at some of those areas of exposure, those where some control can be exercised by the owners and occupiers of these premises, to minimise the risk of break-ins, theft and malicious damage to the practice property.
Awareness
Awareness can provide enormous opportunity when it comes to your practice’s security, particularly an awareness of your level of vulnerability.
External
External security measures are vital in protecting a practice from intrusion and damage.
Internal
Internal security measures complement physical controls and provide checks. In addition to making physical access to the premises difficult for thieves, other basic measures can be taken to reduce the risks and the inconvenience arising from theft and burglary.
