Dear All,
As most of you are aware the G20 summit is taking place on 2nd April at Excel in East London. There are a number of protests planned for around the City but the Police have issued some guidelines advising of some basic safety measures that we should adhere to as there is an expectation that the protests may be more widespread.
The following safety precautions are suggested:
• Smoking areas outside of the buildings are to be reviewed over the event days, People who take regular smoking breaks should be discouraged from doing so.
• External visits made by staff should be kept to a minimum, so as to avoid any unnecessary confrontations. Encourage staff to bring in lunch with them in the morning so that they will not have to leave the premises.
• Unnecessary waste should be cleared from external areas of the properties, where they can be used as throwing objects etc
• Inform staff to be vigilant at all times, If some thing doesn't look right….report it!
• Logistics for deliveries should be reviewed and regulated. Only essential items should be delivered, There may be a point over the coming days when deliveries cannot be made so why not cancel them now.
• Dress down - staff on sites in vulnerable areas have been advised to dress down for the day(s) to avoid being made targets. The point here is that people who dress in suits may be targeted as capitalists.
• Night time light out - over the protest period buildings should turn off all unnecessary lighting to avoid being targeted by climate protestors.
Anything viewed as out of the ordinary on the days leading up to or over the protest period should be reported to Building Security or the Police.
Site security have been asked to remain extra vigilant during this period.
If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards
