Suspect Post
The news recently has been somewhat alarming for me having responsibility for health & safety within the firm. You are probably aware that there has been a series of letter bombings (thankfully with minimal injuries) in various areas across the country. What’s worrying for me is that one of the organisations hit was Vantis, another professional services firm. Although at present it’s unclear what is the motivation for these attacks, I’ve issued guidance to those in the firm who are responsible for dealing with the post.
I’ve found some very useful guidance on the Hertfordshire Police website which I’ve issued to those concerned. There is also quite a useful poster out there too which comes from the US, giving a picture of what suspect post might look like.
I’ve reinforced to my colleagues that the risk of anything such as this affecting our organisation is very remote and that there’s no harm in being just a bit more vigilant than usual. I’d be interested to hear if anyone else has taken similar measures or what other approaches have been adopted.
