DoorJammer Lockdown: Portable security for places of worship

DoorJammer Lockdown – portable security, protecting places of worship

Places of worship, due to their nature and the number of people who congregate within them are unfortunately a target for crime and terrorism. The terrorist incidents in the Haymarket, London on Friday 29th June 2007 and at Glasgow Airport on Saturday 30th June 2007 indicate that terrorists continue to target crowded places and while theft, burglary and arson are still the most common threats to places of worship, the recent attack in Nice is evidence that terrorist attacks have become a real and serious danger.

No doubt you already have measures in place for dealing with fire and crime, procedures for assessing the integrity of those you employ, protection from IT viruses, and measures to secure parts of the premises but what is your procedure for dealing with a threat that has already breached your perimeter security?

British health and safety law (HASAWA) and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requires employers to take a common sense and proportionate approach to identify, assess and keep under review health and safety related risks and take steps to reduce or eliminate those risks. This includes security risks where there is a threat of attack on staff or visitors. The greatest threat to any organisation is complacency.

Protecting high numbers of people (staff, visitors, customers, contractors, general public) from a threat that is already within the walls is a daunting task but with DoorJammer Lockdown you can create a safe space from any room or space that has an inward swinging door. By using DoorJammer Lockdown to barricade a door, any nearby room can become a safe space, fast.

If we are under attack shouldn't we evacuate, not lockdown?

This does of course depend on the type of attack: risk from fire or explosives should always trigger an immediate orderly evacuation but if the threat is from an intruder, Government security officials advise against evacuation in most cases unless the location of the intruder(s) is known.

“It is important to remember that it is very much the exception to evacuate a building in the event of a hostile intruder. Unless the location of the intruders is known, a "blind" evacuation may be putting people in more danger (e.g. from an intruder or device at one of the entrances/exits) than if they had remained within the building.”
