Why Is Prevention So Important?

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

In the past 12 months more than two-thirds of small businesses have been a victim of crime. These crimes cost businesses millions of pounds every year. In the current economic climate businesses can ill afford these losses.

Many businesses play an important role in their local community and any crime against business has much wider implications.  A recent study showed that for over half of all businesses surveyed crime was a key factor and directly impacted their decisions on the location of the business, the level of inward investment and recruitment.

It has been estimated that a third of businesses fail to make a formal report when they have been a victim of crime. The most common reason being that they felt the police would not be able to bring a successful prosecution.

In March 2009, AXA reported a 10% year-on-year rise in business crime as a result of the recession. The results particularly highlight growth in malicious damage and arson, where the numbers of crimes were up 14% and 23% respectively.

When it comes to crime against business these statistics clearly demonstrate the importance of taking robust preventative measures.

Your NSI approved supplier will work closely with you to assess exactly which systems will provide you with the protection that your business needs.

BPT Security Systems Rolls Out New Barrier Range

Friday, October 15th, 2010

For a lot of multi-million companies as well as government agencies, protecting their place of work or their offices and their employees is one of the paramount considerations. Protecting employees and the company physical structures is very important due to the fact that companies and government agencies view their employees and their building and other physical structures as their investment and compromising their security in their place of work, in the case of employees, would reduce the motivation of such employees to work. For multi-million dollar companies their buildings and everything contained in it are considered to be their assets this includes, aside from their employees, important documents or even product prototypes which may be targeted by competing companies. This is the reason why both government offices and private offices or buildings must be protected by limiting the ingress of visitors into the company or government building premises. Controlling the entry and exit of people within company premises or government property is achieved by installing barrier systems that would prevent vehicles from entering private and government premises.

Focused with the goal to help companies and government offices in implementing control in the entry and exit of visitors as well as employees, BPT Security Systems has developed a new generation of barrier systems. The new Life electro-mechanical brand is a range of above-and-below-the-ground electromechanical gate operators and traffic barrier system. The development of such is BPT’s response to the demand of customers and clients for a more affordable Barrier system. The Life Barrier system represents a system that is considered to be value for money because of the fact that it was developed with the most innovative and sophisticated electronics as well as mechanical structure. It is further enhanced by several other features incorporated within the Barrier system such as a built-in anti-crush and obstacle detection feature, as well as other readily integrated safety devices like ground loops, photocells and safety edges. Although Life is only a Barrier system the features that it has makes it one of the best barrier system in the market today.
