Risk management
Metal theft is a continuing issue for churches. The level of risk churches face is different in each case and subject to many variables.
Roof protection systems for churches
Security protection measures to guard against metal theft don’t need to be expensive, you can read our metal theft prevention guidance and there are a number of common sense and practical measures that can be taken to reduce the likelihood of metal theft.
These include:
- Applying a Baptist Insurance-approved forensic property marker, such as SmartWater to metal on the exterior of the church.
- Prominently display the signage
- Ensure the forensic property marker is registered.
You can buy additional SmartWater supplies, direct from SmartWater, at a discounted rate to policyholders. SmartWater can also supply signage such as posters, plastic signs and stickers.
