The checklist guides an assessment of door systems, windows and plate glass, miscellaneous openings such as vents and skylights, and warehouse or bay doors. It also covers alarm systems, camera monitoring, lighting (interior and exterior), and Operation ID practices for asset marking and inventory. Additional prompts address site visibility, fencing, key control, hiring and cash-handling policies, and general housekeeping. Use the survey to document current controls, note deficiencies, and capture practical recommendations to reduce burglary risk, improve deterrence, and enhance safety for staff and customers.
