  1. Physical Security SAFES AND VAULTS

  2. SAFES • designated in 2 categories to describe their measure of protection: - fire resistive - burglary and robbery resistive • there is no law or code mandating the rating of safes • one method of rating safes in the area of fire protection is done through: - safe manufacturers national association - Underwriter’s Laboratories

  3. Class “A” or “350-Hour” fire resistant safe provides the maximum fire protection • Class “C” (350-I) is the most popular and commonly safe • Fire resistive safes give very little protection • Once exposed to a fire, a fire resistive safe does not have the degree of protection • Burglary and robbery resistive mercantile safes are classified by SMNA specifications • The design features of a burglary – resistive safe as a general rule require the door be made of steel and at least 2 ½ inches thick

  4. SOME OF THE Safecracking methods used: • Drilling • Burring • Peeling • Ripping • X – Ray • Explosives • Power Tools • Manipulations

  5. No safe is impenetrable • Any safe that weigh less than 750 pounds should be anchored to building structure

  6. VAULTS • defined as enlarged safes • usually made of high quality reinforced concrete • usually located at or below ground level • doors of a vault are normally 6 inches thick • walls, ceiling and floor as a rule should be twice as thick as the door but never less than 12 inches

  7. Vaults should be supported by alarm systems of the following types: • Capacitance • Vibration • Ratings for vaults are established by the insurance services office
