Carry Out Risk Assessment

Employers should carry out risk assessments to ensure the safety of staff. They must consider risks such as an employee working alone or an employee doing bank runs. If there becomes a security problem it must be reported to the police. They must make sure there are security measures in place to keep staff safe at all times. Ensure staff are fully trained. Make sure the necessary security systems are installed.

Employees should make sure they stick to any procedure set out by the employer concerning their safety. They can help by reporting anything that may be of concern. They must not wait for someone else to report the problem as it could escalate. They should be aware and observe the environment they work in.
