Deliberatefire-raising,orarsonasitiscommonlyreferredtoin

andpropertybutalsotoensurethecontinuedsmooth-running

Although all properties are potential targets for arson, those
particularlyatriskarebusinessesinfinancialdifficulty,schools,
unoccupiedbuildings,premiseswhereanimalexperimentsare
undertaken,embassies,newspaperpremises,intensiveanimal

companiesinvolvedinthetransportofanimalsforslaughterand
similarpremiseswheresensitiveoremotiveworkiscarriedout.
Fireslitdeliberatelycausemuchgreaterpropertylossandare
thereforemorecostlythanthoselitaccidentally.Thisisbecause
deliberatefiresmaybe:
• litusingmultiplepointsofignition;
• litatvulnerablepointsinthebuilding;
• assistedbytheuseofflammableliquidsorotheraccelerants;
• startedatatimewhentherewillbeadelayinthefirebeing
discovered (suchaswhen thepremisesareunattendedor
onlypartiallyoccupied);
• assisted by compromising fire protection measures in the
building (for example, fire doors may be wedged open to
help a fire develop and spread throughout the property),
or by the sabotage of automatic fire protection measures
(such as by isolating a sprinkler system or automatic fire
detectioninstallation);and
• anattempttodestroyevidenceofanothercrime.
Inoccupiedbuildings,mostmaliciousfiresoccurinstorerooms
andwarehouseswherethereareoftenfewstafftowitnessthe
crime being committed or to discover the fire during its early
stages.Insuchareas,thereisaplentifulsupplyofcombustible
materials, the racksorstacked itemsprovidingbothcover for
thearsonistandfuelforthefire.
Thescaleofbusinessdisruptionfollowingadeliberatefiredoes
notnecessarily reflect theamountofdamage to theproperty.
For example, a very small fire can have a significant impact
on business operations, depending on the vulnerability of
machinery,processplant,rawmaterialsandstocksoffinished
products.
Inmanybusinesses, it isnot just theflamesthatputahalt to
normalbusinessroutinesbutthespreadofsmoke,toxicgases
and thepungent smell.Evenat aconsiderabledistance from
the seat of the fire there may be electronic data processing
equipment, sensitive machine tools or stocks of fabrics or
foodthataretotallyunusableandwillneedcleaning,repairor
disposal and replacement before normal business operations
canresume. It isnotsurprisingthatasignificantproportionof
businessesfailfollowingadeterminedarsonattack.
Mostmaliciousfiresarestartedduring thehoursofdarkness,
butthisdoesnotmeanthatpremisesaresafeduringdaylight
working hours. Fires are easily started in commercial and
industrial premises that are not continuously occupied, and
even when they are, vigilance has to be maintained against
actiontakenbyintrudersorroguemembersofstaff.Inretailand
otherpremises,largenumbersofthepublicmaybepresentand
thisintroducesfurtherproblemsinmanagingthethreat.
In all premises, the fight against deliberate fire-raising should

legislation in Scotland and Northern Ireland (refs. 2 to 5).
Following this, a management action programme should be
devised and implemented. Although security measures will
undoubtedly feature strongly in this programme, this is not a
universal panacea and many other actions will have to be
considered,manyofwhichmaybespecifictothenatureofthe

RECOMMENDATIONS
1. General considerations
1.1 Ineverybusinessadesignatedpersonshouldoverseean
arsonriskmanagementprogrammetoensureallaspects
areproperlymanagedand thatany requiredactionsare
implementedandreviewedregularly.
1.2 Thearsonriskmanagementprogrammeshouldbedevised
following an arson risk assessment for the premises
in compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety)
Order 2005 or equivalent legislation in Scotland and
NorthernIreland(refs.2to5).Whendevisingthearsonrisk
managementprogramme it shouldbe remembered that
the legislation isprimarilyaimedatminimising lossof life
andthatadditionalmeasures,whichmaynotnecessarily
be costly, may well be beneficial in providing additional
protectiontothepropertyandensurebusinesscontinuity.
1.3 Thearsonriskassessmentshouldinclude:
1.3.1 Identifyingpotentialreasonsforsettingfiretothepremises,
including:
• whether malicious attacks have occurred in the
neighbourhoodlately;
• thesusceptibilityofthebuilding;
• thetypeofoccupancy;
• the security measures adopted, both internally and
externally;and
• thecrimeprofileofthearea.
1.3.2 Identifyingthepotentialhazards:
• peoplewhomaybeaffectedbyafire;
• thecombustiblematerialspresent;and
• ignitionsourcesthatcouldbeusedtostartafire.
1.3.3 Identifying potential arsonists, who may be intruders,
visitors, contractors or staff. Many deliberate fires are
startedbyyoungteenagers;vigilanceshouldthereforebe
maintainedshouldgroupsofteenagerscongregateinthe
vicinityofthepremises.
1.3.4 Removing,reducingoreliminatingsourcesoffuellocated

1.3.7 Recordingthefindingsoftheassessment.
1.3.8 Reviewingtheassessmentperiodically.
1.4 Where new premises are being considered, a full risk
assessmentshouldbeundertakenbeforemovingintothe
area. The need for, and the costs of, additional security
measures should be taken into account if considering
locatingtoanareawithahighincidenceofcrimeand/or
vandalism.
2. Management

2.7 Staff should report any fire, however small, to their
supervisororlinemanager.
2.8 Every fireshouldbe investigatedandany thatmayhave
been deliberately started should be reported to the
police,evenwhere thefirewasextinguishedwithout the
attendanceofthefirebrigade.
2.9 Temporary employees, outside contractors or any other
personsworking in thepremisesmust receive thesame
firesafety inductionandcontinuingfiresafetyawareness
instruction as permanent members of staff and should
alwaysbeadequatelysupervised.
2.10 Wherepremisesarenotcontinuouslyoccupied,anamed
individual should be made responsible for securing the
building at the end of each working day. All external
doors and windows should be checked as part of this
close-downprocedure.Acheckshouldalsobemadethat

Cabins and similar combustible buildings
2.22 All timber and other combustible cabins or temporary
buildings, introduced to the site for whatever purpose,
should be located at least 10m from any permanent
buildingorstructure.
3. Fire protection
3.1 Effective compartmentation of a building is the key to
minimising fire spreadand thuscostlypropertydamage
andbusinessinterruption.
3.2 During maintenance and refurbishment operations, it is
essential thatfirestopping is replacedor insertedwhere
required.
3.3 Wherever possible, temporary compartmentation should
be installed during any prolonged refurbishment works
undertakenbycontactors.
3.4 Asuitablenumberofappropriateportablefireextinguishers,

4.13 Allpointsofentrytothebuilding(s)shouldbesupervised.
Wherethisisnotpossible,thosethatareleftunattended

may be secured by a digital lock, but in the case of
designated fire exits, the doors should be easily and
immediately openable from within by a single action. A
separateguideS11:Security of emergency exit doors
in non-residential premises(ref.17)isavailablefromthe
RISCAuthoritywebsite.
4.14 Reception areas should be provided with facilities such
as segregated toilet areas for visitors, who may include
contractorsanddeliverypersons.Insomebusinessesthe
provisionofsmallmeetingroomsinthereceptionareafor

guideS9:Intrusion and hold up alarm systems (I&HAS):
Considerations for installers and other stakeholders
(ref.27)isavailablefromtheRISCAuthoritywebsite.
5.2 The supply, installation and maintenance of the system
shouldbeundertakenbyanalarmcompanyapprovedby
aUKAS-accreditedcertificationbody.
5.3 In the event of the alarm being activated, it should be
ensured that there will be a response. The installation
should therefore be linked to an alarm receiving centre
(ARC) approved and certificated by a UKAS-accredited
certification body using a secure, monitored connection.
Systemswithalarmconfirmationshouldbeprovidedwith
dualpathsignalling.
5.4 Where smoke-producing security devices are installed,
these should comply with BS EN 50131-8 (ref. 28). The
insurer of the premises should be consulted before
the installation of such measures. A separate guide
S7: Security Fog Devices (ref. 29) is available from the
RISCAuthoritywebsite.
5.5 Considerationshouldbegiventothefittingoflocalaudible
alarmdevicesonfireexitdoors.Theseshould formpart

Closed circuit television
5.6 To both detect and deter intruders and infiltrators,
it is recommended that there be CCTV coverage of all
vulnerableareas,whetherwithinoroutsidethebuildings.
5.7 Colourimagesarepreferabletoblackandwhitepictures.
5.8 Inordertoactasapossiblemeansofidentificationofan

5.11 Tobefullyeffective,thesystemshouldcomplywithBS8418
(ref. 31) and thus be activated out of business hours by

This technology allows alarm signals and CCTV images
tobeconnectedtoanapprovedremotevideoresponse
centre(RVRC)sothatunauthorisedpersonsapproaching
or entering a site or building may be challenged and a
keyholderorresponseservicedispatchedtoattend.
5.12 The supply, installation, maintenance and remote
monitoring of the CCTV system should be undertaken
by a company with accreditation by an independent
UKAS-accreditedthirdpartycertificationbody.
6. Manned guards
In England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, all
contract guards are now required to hold a security
licence issued by the Security Industry Authority (SIA).
Licencesareindividual,butatacompanylevelcompanies
that adhere to the SIA licence rules and other relevant
procedural matters can be identified by the award of
‘ApprovedContractorScheme’(ACS)status.
Therearetwostandardswhichareparticularly important
withreferencetomannedguards:
• BS 7858: Security screening of individuals
employed in a security environment. Code of
practice(ref.32)laysdownproceduresforemployers

Many guarding companies demonstrate independently
