The primary expectation of hiring on-site security is that they protect your site, however, when procuring security services, you should expect your security to provide additional skills, characteristics and expertise to ensure you get the most from your on-site personnel.

  • Vigilant: We would expect all security personnel to be vigilant. They should be alert to their surroundings and aware of what is going on at all times. Not providing their full attention can result in security risks being missed or not attended to. It is their role to prevent unwanted activity that presents a security risk to your site.
  • Visible: Security personnel should be visible at all times, this is for two key reasons. One is to deter criminals and trespassers from entering the site if they can see the site has security personnel it is likely to deter them and prevent any unwanted activity. Secondly, it allows workers to quickly and easily identify security if they need to report an incident on site.
  • Approachable: Security personnel need to appear to be approachable to those on-site. They need to be integrated within the team, this allows others on site to approach them with any potential security risks they are aware of or have taken place.
  • Good communication: Communication is key when dealing with people. Security personnel need to be able to effectively communicate to:
  • Other workers on-site to communicate potential security issues
  • Trespassers – to get them off-site quickly and with minimal disruption
  • Senior management to clearly report and explain incidents
  • Punctual: Security services are typically provided 24/7, therefore, it is vital that security personnel are punctual and on time. Being late not only leaves a colleague working overtime it also risks the sight not being properly monitored.
  • Literate: Security personnel must be capable of writing a formal incident report for managers, this means that must have good written English to be able to successfully communicate and report on incidents.
  • Honest and trustworthy: Clients must be able to fully trust their security team. Their eyes and ears on-site and provide them with the information they need regarding, potential, criminal activity. Therefore honesty and trust are two key characteristics required.
