Loss Prevention Alerts

These loss prevention alerts have been produced by the Loss Prevention Working Group (LPWG) of the AGS. They highlight issues that the LPWG considers may be of relevance to members. They are not intended to provide a definitive response to any issues and before taking action members should consider carefully whether they need to seek independent legal advice.
