Burglary in the home is apparently on the decrease according to British Government statistics with a drop of 2.5% in recent years. However there were still over 700,000 reported burglaries in 2007 and as we know many are probably not reported for various reasons. The following facts may be of interest to anyone wishing to secure and protect their home and valuables: Over 50% of all burglaries gain access through the front of a house 68% of all burglaries gained entrance via a door with over 26% of these crimes forcing a lock to gain entry 32% of all burglaries gained entrance through a window In over 50% of all burglaries damage was caused to the home In 69% of cases some items were stolen from the property. The most common items taken were purse/wallet/money, keys, electrical goods, jewellery, cameras, CDs/DVDs/Videos and mobiles 16% In 44% of cases no-one was in the home when the burglary took place. But in 56% of cases someone was at home – over half of these people were unaware they were being burgled 69% of burglaries happen during the week, 31% of burglaries of domestic homes are at weekends 43% of burglaries happen during the day with over half of these happening during the afternoon. 57% of burglaries happen during the evening/night The most likely age of the burglars is 16-24 year olds, with over 82% being male 48% of burglars are strangers, 34% are known well by the victim and the rest are know by sight or to speak to Experts agree that the primary reasons for a home to be chosen are as follows: Windows or doors are left open or unsecured The home was or looked uninhabited The entrance chosen by the burglar was shielded from view by tall hedges Window locks were not fitted Doors were not dead locked To increase the level of security in the home these simple precautions should be taken: Leave lights on or even better on a timer when leaving the home at night Fit window locks to all ground floor windows Fit deadlocks to both front and rear doors Keep hedges well pruned to enable neighbours to view your property Ask neighbours to park their vehicle in your drive when you are away Cancel all newspapers, milk orders and ensure thart your post is not visible when on holiday And if this still fails to deter the burglar then securing and storing your valuables and cash in a properly fitted security safe will offer peace of mind.

Is your business covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005? The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 or "the Fire Safety Order" applies across England and Wales and came into force on 1 October 2006. What does this mean for your business? This Fire safety regulation affects all non-domestic premises and even applies to certain activities taking place outdoors. The Fire Safety Order places the emphasis towards risk reduction and fire prevention. Fire certificates are no longer issued. Responsibility for complying with the Fire Safety Order rests with the 'responsible person'. In a workplace, this is the employer and any other person who may have control of any part of the premises, for example, the occupier or owner. In all other premises the person or people in control of the premises will be responsible. If there is more than one responsible person in any type of premises, all must take all reasonable steps to work with each other. If you are the responsible person you must carry out a fire risk assessment which must focus on the safety in case of fire of all 'relevant persons'. It should pay particular attention to those at special risk, such as young people, the disabled and those with special needs, and must include consideration of any dangerous substance likely to be on the premises. You will also need to produce an 'emergency plan'. Your fire risk assessment will help you identify risks that can be removed or reduced and to decide the nature and extent of the general fire precautions you need to take to protect people against the fire risks that remain. Where: * a licence under an enactment is in force, * an Alterations Notice under the Fire Safety Order requires it, or * you are an employer and have five or more employees, the emergency plan and the findings of the risk assessment must be recorded. The details must include existing control measures, those which will be put in place and any persons identified as being especially at risk. Where does the new legislation apply? The Fire Safety Order applies to virtually all premises and covers nearly every type of building, structure and open space. For example: * offices and shops * premises that provide care * community halls * common areas of houses in multiple occupation * pubs, clubs and restaurants * schools * tents and marquees * hotels and hostels * factories and warehouses This Fire Safety order excludes purely domestic premises occupied by a single family group.
