What is the purpose of the risk assessment that my prospective contractor has carried out on the property?

A risk assessment is carried out to ensure that in the case of system installations such as alarms or CCTV, the design is suitable for your security needs, taking into considerations your property, the potential areas of risk, and your own business requirements.

If you are contracting with a guarding/security personnel business, such as keyholding, cash in transit or door supervision, then the risk assessment is carried out to ensure that risks to you and your business and the security operatives are taken in to consideration.
