Duties
Protection of Life
- Monitoring of health and safety compliance (wearing of PPE)
- Reporting or dealing with maintenance requirements (slip hazards)
- Monitoring of alarm systems
Protection of Property and Premises
This might be in a specific situation, for example, at a burglary, fire or flood situation. However, day-to-day functions such as monitoring of alarm systems, ensuring security equipment is working properly, and vigilant patrolling all contribute to the protection of property and premises.
Preventing Loss and Waste
Loss can be suffered by an organisation in different ways:
- Theft and other criminal activity by staff, visitors, etc. can be prevented or reduced by searching staff, visitors, and vehicles in accordance with assignment instructions
- Breach of confidentiality, whether intentional or not, can have serious implications both to the organisation and the security officer. Confidential information should never be discussed with anyone, including family and friends. The disclosure of confidential information could lead to criminal proceedings
- Waste through the unnecessary use of electrical equipment (lights, heaters, etc.) and the unauthorised use of telephone systems or computers. Security officers have a responsibility for waste management and measures to reduce wastage, which are required by environmental policies, may include activities such as switching off un-required electrical equipment, i.e., lighting, computers, and machinery, if authorised to do so.
