STATIC GUARDING
Static Guarding
Providing exceptional security guard services, whether static or mobile, requires more than simply deploying a member of staff with a role brief. At Mi7 National Group, we have many years’ expertise in security management that guarantees you get the service you expect. Our staff are trained to high standards and understand the significance of dynamic security, physical security and procedural security and how they interconnect.
This tripartite approach is the cornerstone of our operation, providing you with confidence, dependability and peace of mind. All our guards and reaction officers are fully Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSIRA) accredited professionals, whose training has been bolstered through programmes administered by our expert coaches. Our staff are performance
monitored and managed.
1) Access and Egress Control
A key duty of a security guard is to control the access and egress to a facility or area. The purpose of controlling access and egress is to ensure that only authorized personnel, vehicles, and materials are allowed to enter, move within, and leave the facility.
This provides the protection for all personnel and property within, and the facility itself. Security Officers, by their presence and professional performance of duties, will discourage, detect, and detain potential violators. People associated with criminals/criminal activity tend to avoid facilities and/or areas where there are professional Security Officers on site.
2) Handling Visitors, Deliveries and Contractors
The normal procedure for handling the visitor is dependent on the types of visitors (whether the visitor is planned, unplanned, or a VIP). Alternatively, when delivery agents arrive at the Access Controlling Point, processing is conducted according to Standard Operating Procedures. The same can be said of on-site contractors or maintenance workers.
3) On-site Escorts
Some site requires the visitor, vendor, and maintenance workers to be escorted by the security staff to the destination. Underlined is the standard escorting procedure Mi7 National Group employs:
- Respond to an escort request and meet at the Access Control Point
- Confirm receipt of responsibility for the visitor from the access control guards
- Confirm the location required to be escorted to, the nature of the visit, person to meet, work tasks to complete and estimated timeframe
- Verify that the visitor is wearing the correct pass or badge
- Identify any tools, equipment or belongings that will be brought with the visitor
- Identify if any extra items or belongings have been added during the visit
- Communicate movement and provide updates with any significant information
- Maintain vigilance throughout in order to prevent any dangerous, suspicious or criminal behaviour
- Return the visitor to the Access Control Point
- Confirm hand over of responsibility for the visitor to the access control guards
4) Quality Checks
Security staff needs to conduct regular checks of the equipment and tools on the site. This should be recorded in an inspection log sheet. Inspections of the following items are to be concluded daily:
• Access control equipment
• External security beams
• Internal or external alarms
• Fencing
• Gates
• Surveillance cameras
• Firearms or protective weaponry
• Procedural documentation (visitor logs etc)
