Cyber security is as, if not more, important than physical security depending on what your business does. Use of computers and mobile devices are essential today and with this comes the ever-growing risk of hacking, viruses, phishing attacks and data breaches.
General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) were implemented across the EU in 2018, also addressing the transfer of personal data into and outside Europe.
At the end of last year the Home Office published the findings from the Crime against businesses: 2018 Commercial Victimisation Survey. The results showed that once again the Wholesale & Retail sector experienced the highest levels of crime with over 10 million incidents.
Companies have a duty of care for their employees which also includes car parks. According to the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 the owners or contractors of car parks have a responsibility to ensure car parks are safe. This covers both vehicles and people.
Carrying out a full risk assessment is the obvious first step to understand the potential hazards and identify methods of reducing the risks. There are different types of car parks, inside/outside, one level, multi-storey and underground, and all will have their own dangers and risks.
