Working together to keep Oxfordshire in business.

In 2006/07 there were 1241 deliberately set fires (arson) in Oxfordshire.

Our aim is to keep your customers, staff, premises and especially your company’s bank balance, safe from arson.

How to avoid an arson attack

carry out a full risk assessment of your property and keep a record in your safety file
ensure your premises are secure (including the perimeter area) and alarmed
protect overhanging roof eaves from any fire beneath
remove combustible materials from view
waste bins should be chained and stored away from buildings
fit metal containers to your letter boxes
warn your staff about the risks of arson and report suspicious activities
ensure that the fire protection equipment you have installed (extinguishers alarms, detectors and sprinklers) are in good working order
back-up vital documents and store at a separate location
ensure flammable liquids are stored appropriately
keep alarms and exterior lighting switched on at night
know where all your keys are
ensure outside contractors conform to site rules.

For a business arson assessment of your premises or an arson awareness pack please contact David Ridley.
