Secure strategies for construction sites- G3 Security Ltd

Figures reveal that over the last few years the construction industry has contributed consistently to the growth of the British economy with last year’s statistics stating a precise 0.6% incline. The daily mail reported this to be the ‘biggest boom ever’ in the construction industry which they reflected was driven by the soaring temperature. Construction sites are notorious hot spots for theft and vandalism seen by thieves as gold mines of expensive equipment and creative youths as a blank canvas to make their mark upon. Such people take advantage of the vacancy of space found at construction sites when building staff are done for the day. Therefore, such sites need to be monitored to ensure the safety of the equipment on site as well as the peace of mind of those whose responsibility it is to maintain the security of the site. What is most at risk on a construction site? Plant, fuel and materials are the main assets that are at risk through theft, whilst vandalism, attacks on workers, arson and security breaches of temporary site buildings are also very real hazards. There are also risks in the form of access by protestors who may seek to achieve anything from publicity through to damage or destruction of the site. Construction site managers should work on four key objectives: Security Strategies for the Construction Site Deter Detect Delay Respond Manned guarding is still one of the most effective security measures, acting as a highly-visible deterrent to ensure the protection of your construction site and your personnel. At G3 Security Ltd, we can provide highly experienced manned construction guards with specialist skills including security mobile patrols, access and gatehouse security. Due to the hazardous nature of construction sites, we can also deliver first aid trained and health and safety trained officers to assist with any issues that may arise. Here at G3 Security Ltd we take the above responsibilities from site managers and make it our responsibility of ensuring that the site is safe and secure. Our security guards are responsible for enacting as a deterrent, detector and response officer. Our guards conduct patrols of the site throughout the night and to make sure that everything is in order. Our dedicated team will make it their sole responsibility to ensure your site, property and equipment are protected, ensuring minimum disruption yet optimum protection to your site.   Get in contact with us today to request a quotation and lay down the foundations for a hassle-free build.

6 Reasons why you need to hire a Security guard for your business

Having a trained security personnel safeguarding your facility can prove to be a big benefit for your business as it actively prevents vandalism, theft and common misbehaviour from occurring at the site making it a safer place for everyone to be in and around. When one imagines a security guard scene from movies instantly appear large men in black wearing head pieces, holding walkie talkies and showing punching here and there. However, the real world unfortunately is not that vibrant and most likely such a scene will rarely occur. Rather the mere presence of a guard in uniform asserts enough authority to repel bad behaviour. Below I have listed 6 major ways in which hiring a guard or door supervisor will impact your business 1)      Creates a great impression.   The presence of a guard at your facility whether it be a corporate office, public building or small business creates a big impression. It tells the people within the type of business you are, that you care about the well fair of your employees or general public. 2)      Reduces stress Hiring a guard allows the client piece of mind that their property is being protected as all times therefore reducing their stress. A security guard has both the clients financial and physical back therefore they are free to focus on the efficient and effective running of their business. 3)      Ready and Alert Unlike the public security sector (police), hired security guards are required to respond immediately as they are on site. Here at G3 Security we discipline our guards through training thus they are always taught to be alert and respond quickly and in an appropriate manner to the situation at hand. 4)      Deterrent With the hiring of a guard shoplifting, nuisance behaviour, employee theft and crime at the site are all likely to reduce a significate amount with on-site security. 5)      Adaptable Security guards here at G3 Security are all adaptable to different roles therefore clients can use they’re for specific task when needed. For example, here at G3, a number of our guards adapt from the role of a door supervisor to concierge once the receptionist leaves. 6)      Management- Often during busy periods maintaining order an become difficult therefore having a guard at hand who is able do this whilst your staff remain busy in customer service duties. Here at G3 Security we provide top quality guards with the best training available in the business. We recruit only the most enthusiastic of candidates who we believe can get the job done and allocate them to sites which suit their individual personality. Likewise, we take into consideration specifications of our clients and allocate the best possible person.

Christchurch and the rise of terrorism-G3 Security

The tragic event which recently took place in the town of Christchurch, New Zealand, where fifty Muslim worshippers fell victim of terrorist Brenton Tarrant’s hate crime has considerably shaken the world. Unfortunately, however, the actual event was not the saddest part of this whole tragic ordeal rather the saddest part is that an event as horrendous as this does not come as a total shock. Recently, such events have become all too familiar. In Britain alone, hate crime figures have more than doubled in the last five years and rose by almost a fifth in 2017/2018 in comparison to the previous year. Police in England and Wales recorded a 17% rise in incidents in the latest period, with three quarters – 71,251 – recorded as race hate crimes. In total, there were 94,098 offences. Data from the Home Office showed 12% of hate crimes – 11,638 – targeted sexual orientation, 9%, or 8,336, were religious hate crimes, and 8%, or 7,226, targeted people living with a disability. Religious hate crime, however, saw the sharpest rise, with a 40% increase from 5,949 incidents in 2016/17. The incident at Christchurch has certainly proved itself to be a wakeup call for a world within which the seriousness of religious intolerance is not stressed enough when considering minority experiences. In the wake of the Christchurch massacre, mosques around the globe are being targeted, an example of this is the series of five mosques which were attacked in Birmingham England on the same day. Following the Christchurch attack, it has been reported that Islamophobic incidents have rocketed by almost 600% in Britain alone. Patrols have been increased around mosques and places of worship since the New Zealand attack, which struck on 15 March. Other incidents seeing Muslims targeted in recent days include an alleged hammer attack near a London mosque, the abuse of a taxi driver in Rochdale and online threats related to the Christchurch shooting. Places of worship are known for welcoming people with open doors, therefore, considering the rise in hate crime and terror attacks across Britain, I find myself asking myself if the places which provide is with the most peace in a chaotic world are being used into bloodied battlefields, is there anywhere where are safe. What a shame it is to see that humans are capable of such atrocious crimes as they remorselessly gun down defenceless innocent people within a place they were welcomed into with open doors and open arms. Hire a manned-guarding service provider It is crucial in times such as these places of worship are safeguarded from such threats. Manned guarding is an effective solution to prevent attempted attacks. The security officer enacts as both a physical deterrent as well as the first response. As they are always required to be alert and aware it is the guard’s duty to notice any suspicious behaviour. Additionally, the guard is the first point of contact if supervising the entrance therefore if there is a disturbance caused the issue is expected to be resolved by the door before getting out of control. All incidents are avoidable, but the right measures must be taken in order to prevent such horrific acts of terror. Take measures. Keep safe. Hire G3 Security.

Safer physical intervention for security personnel

If you are currently working as a security officer, door supervisory or bouncer you should be trained to handle every kind of difficult situation that may arise whilst on duty. As a security personnel it is inevitable that you will at some point need to use force to resolve a situation which can get dangerous. For security personnel physical intervention should only ever be used as a last resort. This is because physical intervention can- Increase the risk of harm to staff and customers Result in prosecution if the physical intervention was unnecessary Lead to allegations against staff and potential loss of licence/employment Examples of last resort situations include Where necessary to prevent harm When other options have failed, or are likely to fail When it is not possible or appropriate to withdraw Alternative to physical intervention Primary controls Following employer’s safety and security policy, procedures and working practices Use of safety and security equipment and technology Secondary Controls Positive and effective interpersonal communication and the knowledge and skills of conflict management to de-escalate conflict situations and reduce the need of physical intervention Your responsibility during the physical intervention All staff involved in physical intervention have a responsibility to ensure the safety of everyone involved When more than one member of staff is involved in the physical intervention one of them must take charge of the situation Use the least forceful option Maintain duty of care subject to the subject following restraint You should respect the dignity of people being restraint wherever possible Provide appropriate medical attention to any person who appears to be injured or at risk Challenge unnecessary and excessive use of force by colleagues Your responsibility immediately after a physical intervention De-escalate a restraint at the earliest opportunity Maintain duty of care to the subject following use of force/restraint Provide appropriate medical attention who appears to be injured or at risk Tell the emergency services about the circumstances, position, duration of any difficulties experienced in a restraint event Preserve evidence and secure witnesses Staff involved must fully report and account individually for their actions Reducing the risk of physical intervention Choose the least forceful intervention practicable: The physical intervention with the least force and potential to cause injury to the subject in achieving the legitimate objective Avoid high-risk positions including ground restrains Avoid high-risk methods of restraining, such as neck holds and other holds that can adversely affect breathing or circulation Keep up communication between staff and subject during the following restraint Monitor the wellbeing of the subject of intervention for adverse reactions Ensure that leadership and teamwork happen, including the importance of someone taking a lead role and for others to support a team member Ensure practice follows the procedures taught De-escalate physical intervention at the earliest opportunity Follow emergency procedures: Immediately release and assist subject if he or she complains of, or demonstrates signs of, breathlessness or other adverse reactions Record and report restraints in line with employer and venue procedures Positional (or restraint) asphyxia – what is it? Positional asphyxia occurs mostly during ground restraints, although can also occur in other positions. This is where a person is held forcefully, face down or face up, on the floor. Many people have died as a result of positional asphyxia during forceful restraint. Others have suffered permanent brain damage linked to oxygen deprivation. You should avoid restraints that carry a heightened risk of positional asphyxia. Positional asphyxia kills – be aware of the sign What can cause positional asphyxia? Method of restraint: Positional asphyxia typically occurs during forceful restraint involving weight or pressure on the torso. All forceful restraints on the ground carry heightened risk. Position: Forceful holds in certain positions increase risks of positional asphyxia. These positions include face up or face down restraint, either on the ground or another surface such as a bed or bar/counter. Also seated or standing positions where breathing and/or circulation are compromised e.g. by being bent forward. Duration: The longer a person is held in a position and/or by a method carrying a heightened risk of positional asphyxia, the longer their exposure to risk and subsequently potential for harm and death. What to do in a medical emergency Follow your emergency procedures and training which can include: Immediately cease the restraint (if restraint was being applied) • Check Airway – Breathing – Circulation (A-B-C) Place in the recovery position Call appropriate emergency services Commence CPR/defibrillator if necessary Provide emergency services with a briefing that includes anything known about the person affected that may help their assessment and treatment. Include details of any restraint including the method, position and duration Recognising Acute Behavioural Disturbance/ Excited Delirium/Psychosis This is a term used to cover a combination of physical and psychological factors including: High temperature Bizarre behaviour Sustained mental and physical exhaustion and metabolic acidosis Psychosis, which can result from mental illness and/or be drug induced. Signs include hallucinations, paranoia and extreme fear This combination of circumstances can result in sudden death, and signs should be treated as a medical emergency. Act on ‘red flags’ during or following a restraint Effort with breathing Blocked airway and/or vomiting Passivity or reduced consciousness Passivity or reduced consciousness Signs of head or spinal injury Facial swelling Evidence of alcohol or drug overdose Blueness around lips, face or nails Individual held complaining of difficulty breathing High body temperature, profuse sweating/hot skin Exhaustion Confusion, disorientation and incoherence Hallucinations, delusions, mania, paranoia Bizarre behaviour Extreme fear High resistance and abnormal strength Don’t forget to refresh your training! It is crucial that you keep your physical intervention knowledge and skills current, for two principal reasons: Legislation and guidance around physical intervention can change Your proficiency in physical skills, if not practised, will decrease over time. This could reduce your ability to intervene appropriately and effectively, and increase the risks to you and others www.sia.homeoffice.gov.uk (Reference) https://www.sia.homeoffice.gov.uk/Documents/sia-safer-physical-intervention-for-door-supervisors.pdf

Why you should choose an ACS approved security company

In recent years the security sector has exploded and when searching for a security company the market is wider than ever before. Though there is a lot of competition out there, here at G3 Security Ltd we are confident in the quality of service we provide. A signifier of this is our ACS accreditations and approval. Most security companies nowadays are regulating on their own terms however we are proud to say that we as an employer of guards and a supplier to clients, are proud to have high ethical and moral standards and codes of conduct that ensure that we are working in accordance with the law and additionally going the extra mile for our clients and employees. Down below is a little bit on information that clients should know when considering the differences between an ACS proved security company and a regular security company. Using an Approved Contractor Choosing an ACS accredited supplier for the provision of your contract security services will help you to meet your security obligations to your staff, shareholders and other stakeholders. Approved contractors are demonstrably committed to customer service and the compulsory licensing of their staff. This means their customers can rest assured that every private security operative deployed on their premises will be working within the law. The benefits of using an Approved Contractor are wide-ranging and briefly summarised below   Continuity of Service Suppliers of security services who are not Approved Contractors are only able to deploy staff that physically hold a valid SIA licence; to do otherwise is a criminal offence. Approved Contractors could be given special dispensation to deploy staff who have completed their training and are waiting for their SIA licence application to be processed. Approved Contractors will therefore be able to offer greater flexibility and operational effectiveness when supplying security services. Best Practice and Continuity of Quality You can be confident that the employment practices of the supplier have been extensively assessed in respect of quality and best practice. Should the Approved Contractor sub-contract, you can be assured that they will only do so to other SIA Approved Contractors, thereby maintaining the integrity of your security supply. Clear Customer Focus and Increased Flexibility You can expect effective customer-focused procedures in place to overcome any issues that arise in service delivery. The ACS Standard encourages service customisation, rather than ‘off-the-shelf’ packages. This will help ensure that the services delivered more closely reflect your precise requirements. Leadership and Innovation The ACS is a progressive quality initiative. It’s also a voluntary scheme. You can expect accredited providers to be highly responsive to change and swift to adopt new methods and best practices. The Extended Police Family The status of the ACS is recognised by the police and offers the potential for enhanced working relationships. The aim is to provide practical benefits through ‘joined-up’ police, business and community initiatives. ACS approved companies have a quality standard chain of supply. This ensures that everything that they buy has been through quality management regulations by their suppliers for ethical purposes. ACS approved businesses have good payment records to both their suppliers and their employees. ACS approval also ensures that all the guards that are provided to clients are screed thoroughly as according to B57858/2012 standards. G3 Security Ltd hold very high standards of work hence why we have been awarded major contracts by businesses that share our moral and ethical interests. If you would like more information on the benefits of working with an ACS approved company, I have linked below a handbook you are able to read through. Additionally, if you would like to enquire about out services, please do not hesitate to get in contact either via out website on www.G3security.co.uk or have a chat with one of our customer service advisers on 02032880000 or 02032880011.

The rise of knife crime in London

Knife crime in London in recent months has risen to the highest ever recorded levels with 15,0000 offences being committee during last year according to official figures released by the Metropolitan police. I find it alarming that in recent months it has become uncommon to come across news of stabbings every other day from newspapers, television to social media. Amongst all the horrific stories of stabbing in London, there was one which really alarmed us as a security company and that was the story of Tudor Simionov a bouncer killed on duty whilst protecting his colleagues from a group of thugs trying to enter an exclusive Mayfair party. Tudor relocated from Romania to London to build a better life for him and his fiancé without ever considering the possibility that it is here, in the prosperous city that he will take his final breath. Tudor did more than what was expected of him as a security guard by putting himself in harm’s way as he fought ten men alone to protect those around him. Tudor was fatally stabbed in the middle of the chest and tragically died the death of a hero from his injuries at the scene of the crime. Factors influencing knife crime There are many factors which have contributed to this rise in knife crime in London one of the main reasons being the cuts made by the government to the security sector and their reluctancy to invest in social sector for youth. The cuts made to policing is where the cycle begins as it gives criminals more confidence to carry on doing what they are doing.   The lack of social support that is available for the youth to keep them out of trouble is another factor which has contributed to the rise in knife crime. Today’s youth are getting involved in crime due to the lack of social support that they are receiving outside of the education system. Thus, it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that young adults are congregating in street coroner and public parks in groups and getting involved in criminal activity when there are not many other alternative opportunities offered to them. It is here that gangs are either formed or young adults are recruited into gangs and taken into a world of crime. Postcode wars are a good example of how the lack of opportunity offered to young adults has directly resulted in the rise of knife crime as gangs are constructed based on the locality of their members. Thus, when petty fights break out between members belonging to different localities, they can often turn dangerous fast. Social media is also another factor of blame when considering the rise of knife crime in London, as these young adults take their social media brawls to the streets having faceoffs. Social media is also a tool which allows others to access information about where you are making it easier to target specific people. The tragic death of Tudor Simionov has forced us to rethink about the safety of those that are obliged to keep us safe. Therefore, in order to prevent anything like this happening to one of our guards we are looking into providing those that are placed on rough sites with anti-stab vests and appropriate training to deal with difficult situations. In accordance with the SIA, we will be advising our Door Supervisors that they ‘should only use physical intervention as a last resort, and never use more force than is necessary’ [1] We will also advise to use the ‘RUN, HIDE, TELL’ method to deal with any individual who acts in a threatening manner.

Importance of Security Guards in Healthcare industry

Security guards who are trained to work in Healthcare facilities have their work cut out for them. Not only do they need to guard the facilities against external threats, but also have to often protect the patients from harming themselves. Those who work in mental health units need to be especially careful. Some recent findings have reported that there has been a 22% increase in violence in mental health facilities and as a whole, healthcare violence also appears to be rising. This brings to light the importance of incident reports that security officers file. With a properly written incident report, many future eventualities can be avoided. Which brings us back to the importance of hiring security guards who don’t shy away from paperwork. Every report filed by security officers in healthcare is critically evaluated to look for opportunities to reduce risks to patients. Many times this is based on individual behaviour of patients, which needs to be carefully monitored not only by the hospital staff but also security. A healthcare security officer needs to be not only physically capable but also mentally sound and responsible. Each report filed needs to be credible and factually correct. When hiring a security agency for your healthcare establishment, make sure that they provide a complete security cover that includes security for people, property and assets. Some of the most talented people work in hospitals, that includes researchers and surgeons which can be targeted by anti-social elements. Also, the hospital equipments can cost a fortune. It increases the responsibility of security guards to provide a safe and secure environment for the hospital to work and for the patients to recover. Some of the basic functions provided by Healthcare security officers are – Inspecting the facilities Active security monitoring and patrolling Escorting employees and guests Watching patients All security personnel who work in healthcare are trained in crisis management through non-violent use of force, CPR, Hazmat and healthcare regulations.

Useful security tips for small businesses

A lot of small business owners often neglect taking active security precautions till the time there is a serious incident. However, as a small business owner you should understand that you are equally (if not more) prone to burglaries and thefts as any other bigger business. Here are some tips you can follow: Don’t base all your security solutions on just one single method (for example, CCTV cameras), instead, use a variety of measures. Train your staff well in handling suspicious behaviour. They should always be on alert against any suspicious activity under their watch. Regularly, check your alarms and other security systems to ensure that they are working in proper condition. From time to time, whenever you change your key holder, make sure that their details are updated with the Police. Also evaluate your insurance policies and check to see if you need any additional cover. Refrain from putting up a ‘We are closed’ board as it could easily be an invitation for thieves. Check all access points to ensure that they can’t be tampered with easily. Tag all your equipments and machinery as a deterrent. Don’t keep a lot of cash in office and also vary your cash transfer routine to the bank every time. Keep an eye out for crimes in your locality or against similar businesses in the area. Always keep your business well lit, even at nights. Where possible use break-in alarm systems, silent alarms and motion detectors. Switch to card access system for better security. Use security guards. They act as the best possible deterrent! Also; Restrict access to sensitive areas in the building. Shred any documents that contain personal information securely so that it may not fall in wrong hands. Conduct a background search before hiring any employee.

The importance of a detailed site risk assessment in the security industry

Site risk assessment before commencement of any new sites Risk assessment is a logical as well as consistent method of assessing the assets, their vulnerabilities, associated risks and their impact. By conducting a detailed site risk assessment, you can reduce the damage from any potential risks to an acceptable cost. To understand the importance of a detailed site risk assessment in the security industry, we need to familiarise ourselves with a few terms: Risk – It is the potential of loss or damage to an asset. Asset – It can be a person or property, information or activity; anything with value to it’s owner. Impact – It is the amount of damage or loss that could be caused by an adversary. Threat – It is the potential to cause damage or loss to the asset. Adversary – It can be anyone – a group or an individual, that wants to cause damage to an asset. Vulnerability – It is any weakness that can be used by the adversary to access the asset. Countermeasures – These are actions on the part of the owner, taken to reduce vulnerabilities. Cost-Benefit Analysis – It is part of the decision making process where the management considers the costs and benefits of each proposed alternative and selects the most viable option available. What can a professional Risk Manager do for you? While identifying potential security risks for your site, the Risk Manager would look for ways to: Reduce damage to your business Eliminate or control any indicators Utilise your security budget in a cost-effective way Minimise intelligence collection by any adversaries They will then formulate a strategy to – Identify vulnerabilities in security Manipulate indicators to deceive your adversaries Apply countermeasures Modify countermeasures from time to time The strategy they develop would depend on the needs of your organisation, the current laws and policies in place, expected risks to your site as well as your security budget. With a professional risk assessment of your new site, we will assess your assets, threats to them and  any vulnerabilities that can be exploited. We will then go on to assess risks and devise countermeasure options for you to implement, and at each step of the way we will advise you with the costs and benefits, so you would always know what to expect and decide on what is necessary.
