It covers site factors and boundaries, access routes, car and cycle parking, external lighting, and building conditions. Identify vulnerable areas such as recessed doorways, glazing, roof access, and secluded service zones. Review management practices for locking up, contractor control, and supervision. Evaluate security during and after hours, theft controls, and storage. Confirm CCTV, intruder detection, and fire alarm coverage and maintenance to reduce risk.
