Safe businesses

Poor security and criminal events can present a risk to your business.

Consider these risks in advance and put plans in place to help reduce or manage them.

Plan to reduce risks

Security and crime events are often out of your control. But if you develop and implement systems, plans and policies they can assist in reducing the:

• likelihood of some incidents occurring
• impact and consequences for your business.

Security and crime prevention are actions you take to:

• improve the safety and security of your business and
• avoid financial loss or disruption to your business.

You also have a duty of care to provide a safe working environment for your staff.

Crime and security threats can include:

• theft (internal and external)
• fraudulent use of online business bank accounts
• false invoicing and payments
• robbery
• shoplifting
