HELPFUL HINTS (these really apply to possible 'targeted buildings' but are worth noting)
Do not allow unauthorised access into your building.
Review vulnerability of the area, look at your neighbours etc.
Review your smoking areas, do not leave fire doors/back doors left propped open.
Restrict the number of entrances that you have open on the day.
Minimise deliveries - avoid them on the day if possible.
Minimise visitors - ask your staff to postpone meetings until after May 1st.
Don't try to cross London on May 1st, some roads will be blocked.
Keep staff informed of any events nearby.
Even if nothing is due to happen, don't forget to inform staff.
Your staff should be OK to arrive at their normal time.
Monitor web sites and keep an eye on SKY NEWS.
WEBSITES (these will be updated throughout the day)
