Forced entry
Security Overlay to the RIBA Plan of Work, published by the RIBA in 2023, states: ‘Those undertaking physical attacks on buildings may try to enter a building to cause terror and/or harm the occupants inside. It is best to stop or delay the attacker(s) entering an area or building using appropriate measures such as locked doors. Forced entry may involve the use of weapons or manual/powered tools to overcome these barriers. It is recommended that advice is sought from security specialists when assessing security risks to define the type and likely methods of attack.’
