WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF MY COMPANY RECEIVING A MAIL BOMB?
The chances of your company receiving a mail bomb are extremely remote. The chances are considerably greater of receiving a telephoned bomb threat or finding a suspicious and potentially harmful device placed at your office or on your property. The number of instances over the last six years has been minimal. Theses minimal risks need to be kept in perspective and obviously, whatever the ‘real’ risk, this will increase slightly depending on the company. E.g. companies who provide services or products for the Armed Forces, certain types of research and development, essential services such as water treatment, power companies etc might present themselves as more of a likely target. The key is to have a comprehensive bomb threat response plan to deal with mail bombs, bomb threats, and suspicious placed devices. When properly planned and implemented, a bomb threat response plan will prevent any such incident from creating panic among your workforce or inflicting physical harm to your employ
