Please use the poster on your site to remind everyone of the checklist to keep sites safe over the Christmas period.

Top tips such as:

• Bank company cash before the holiday and leave any empty onsite safes slightly open with the door ajar.
• Ensure all windows and doors are closed and locked and all lights and heaters off unless they are part of night security measures.
• Take steps to bury and protect all cabling and other copper assets. Cabling not in use should not be stored on site.
• Either take vehicle keys off site or secure in a safe.
• Where possible, take valuable possessions and tools off site during the holidays, including personal possessions in trucks and company cars.
• Do not leave laptops in car boots or behind back seats of cars at any time.
• Leave as little oil or gas on site as possible, park vehicles tank-to-tank or battery-to-battery to frustrate offender access.
