S31: Unauthorised occupation of non-residential premises – guide to managing the risk

Certifi cate in Fire Risk Assessment Security and arson guide
In these unprecedented times, the FPA is offering businesses its wealth of knowledge and advice. Of particular relevance to the crisis is S31: Unauthorised occupation of non-residential premises – a guide to managing the risk, now available as a free download. Many businesses have moved out of buildings temporarily and at some speed, so owners may not have had time to consider that vacant buildings are more susceptible to the risk of fi re (arson), criminal activity, misuse and malicious damage. This guide looks at what preparations, practical measures and security controls can be applied to help manage the risk; explores the trend; and offers guidance for owners and insurers. Areas covered include: 1. The growing challenge of unauthorised occupations – insurers report a signifi cant increase in frequency and severity of claims for damage, and clear up costs arising.
Version 01 Published 2017
2. Evolution of the problem – frequently reported occupations by large numbers of well organised groups using empty buildings for dumping by fl y tippers, in return for cash.
3. Vigorous action required – in light of the pandemic’s development, managers and owners would be well advised to revise risk assessments and, if necessary, take rigorous action to reinforce the physical resistance of vacant buildings.
4. Importance of planning – this covers preparations ahead of unauthorised occupation; the actions required should an occupation occur; and those needed to protect the operation
