Do and what risks does my activity entail?

Forus has decades of experience in the surveillance of properties with different levels of complexity and risk, risk assessment, and developing security solutions.

When building commercial premises as the owner or later, in the course of using a building or warehouse premises, you need to think about what certain activities may result in and what may not go as you have planned. How to foresee unexpected situations? Which risks may arise from the activities of my company and is there any criminal activity or are there any hazardous sites in my area or in the vicinity of my building?

Forus is here to help with our extensive knowledge.

What can you do to mitigate risks in your building?

Surveillance

Installation or upgrading of surveillance equipment. If necessary, you can also involve a security guard, who will keep an eye on the territory.

Proper routine maintenance of the equipment

Technical equipment must be functional and properly maintained – otherwise, they will not serve their purpose and may cause accidents.

Inspection of fire safety installations

Strict rules apply to fire safety. As the owner of a building, you have a legal obligation to maintain fire safety installations properly.

Training

Your people must know how to act and evacuate in the event of a fire.

Construction of fences and barriers and landscaping

You as the owner of a building can make sure that no unwelcome visitors can enter your property.

Construction of façade lighting

Additional lighting solutions are always useful for ensuring your safety and security.

How many people from Forus are involved in the assessment?

The security risk assessment will be conducted by an individual with the professional certificate of a security officer, i.e. by a security guard with a level 5 professional standard.

The size of the team depends on the site. When customers have needed a more detailed assessment of their procedures and equipment, we have also involved technicians with professional certification in the security risk assessment.

We can also involve access control technicians, who are familiar with access control equipment. Occasionally, we must also involve fire safety experts, if we notice that the construction side of the property requires an expert assessment.

We will put together our team on the basis of an agreement with the customer and taking into consideration the wishes and needs of the customer.

How much does the security risk assessment cost, on average?

The average cost of the risk assessment is under 3,000 euros (for example in the event of a building with the surface area of a few thousand square metres).

In the case of a large building covering an extensive area, the cost of the analysis may amount to 12,000 euros. Everything depends on the type of the building and the needs of the customer.
