The Countdown to 2012
"Terrorist attacks in the UK are a real and serious danger, crowded places are likely to feature in attack plans" - NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office).
As the UK prepares to host the Olympic Games in 2012, we must be mindful of the threat of terrorism. With recent attacks in London, Glasgow and Exeter fresh in our minds; these are unlikely to be the only attacks we see. The government has warned that the threat of a further attack is real and serious, this is not simply a London issue, but is a national concern.
Between now and 2012, the question you must ask yourself is: Has my company undertaken sufficient risk assessments in the event of a terrorist attack?
The government organisation NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) has been created to advise on measures to be taken to minimise injury, fatality, and business impact in the event of a blast. The responsibility, however, is on the owner or occupier of premises to ensure that risk assessments are carried out and necessary action is taken.
"Criminal prosecution and heavy penalties under health and safety laws for companies are a real possibility if it emerges that core and statutory duties have not been met" - NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office).
