CPTED Inspection for Healthcare Facilities
This CPTED inspection checklist helps security and facilities teams evaluate healthcare sites for crime prevention through environmental design. It covers surrounding area risks, territoriality, signage, building materials, landscaping and sightlines, exterior and interior lighting, access and egress controls, natural surveillance, parking and pathways, and monitoring. It also reviews security staffing, alarms, cameras, and emergency readiness including AEDs, fire extinguishers, first aid, HVAC intakes, muster points, egress routes, lock-up procedures, and shelter-in-place provisions. Use it to identify vulnerabilities and guide practical design improvements across hospitals and clinics.

Pre-CPTED Audit form - Logan City Council Community Safety Program
A detailed facility safety assessment framework based on Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles. The guide provides a structured scoring system to determine if a full CPTED audit is required, with scores above 90 requiring no audit, 50-90 requiring consultation, and below 49 mandating a complete audit. The assessment covers key safety aspects including surveillance capabilities, area legibility, territorial demarcation, ownership indicators, facility management, and vulnerability factors. Each section contains specific evaluation criteria to help assessors thoroughly analyze the safety and security features of a facility, including lighting, signage, maintenance, and potential risk areas.

School Site Assessment
This comprehensive security assessment document provides detailed guidelines for evaluating facility safety and security measures across multiple areas. It covers parking lot security, landscaping considerations using CPTED principles, exterior building security features, interior access control, and administrative protocols. The assessment includes specific sections for evaluating entrance/exit points, lighting, signage, surveillance systems, emergency response procedures, and staff training requirements. The document is particularly relevant for schools, churches, and other organizations looking to improve their security infrastructure and emergency preparedness. It emphasizes the importance of having clear protocols for visitor management, emergency operations, and regular security drills while providing practical recommendations for implementing security measures that balance accessibility with safety.
