This puts security personnel at considerable risk. They are relied on to protect buildings, assets and people. But they can also be vulnerable, especially amidst an outbreak of disease and virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although many businesses have been forced to close for the\nduration of the lockdown, professional and opportunist vandals, arsonists, thieves\nand burglars are viewing this a good opportunity to target vulnerable businesses.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes a vulnerable business during the lockdown?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the country in lockdown, many businesses are left empty.\nDue to the nature of the pandemic, the rate that it spread and with all the\nuncertainty, businesses have not had the time to prepare appropriately. Not all\nbusinesses had efficient security measures in place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>No alarms <\/li><li>No CCTV<\/li><li>No security personnel<\/li><li>No security signage<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In the current circumstances, installing alarms and CCTV is\nnot that simple, and not all businesses are in the financial position to hire security\nguards. This leaves them vulnerable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the emergency services tight up with the pandemic, many\nbusinesses are relying on bespoke and affordable security solutions, like security\npatrols and alarm response. This is where a professionally trained security guard\nwill make regular patrols of the premises and ensure that everything is in\norder and if there is a problem, the guard will take the appropriate action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If premises are fortunate enough to have an alarm, then security\nservice providers can also provide a rapid alarm response service, where if any\nalarm were to activate, they would respond immediately. Guards will investigate\nthe activation and take the appropriate action. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why are security guards at risk?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned earlier, Security guards are regularly on the\nfrontline and therefore are at the forefront of exposure. They are exposed to having\nto deal with situations, people and are forced to be in close proximity of\nother people \u2013 people who could be violent or contagious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The government guidelines for maintaining a 2-meter distance\ncan be complicated in this situation \u2013 especially if a security guard is confronted\nwith a problematic situation or violent person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What steps can security guards take to keep safe?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Maintain a distance <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although 2 meters might not be possible, guards must try to\nmaintain some distance <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PPE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personal Protection equipment is a must. Where possible,\nguards should wear the appropriate PPE to ensure that they are safe. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Avoid spittle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If guards are face to face with people, they need to avoid\nspittle for people\u2019s mouth being transferred on to them as this is how Covid19\nand other viruses are spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do not shake hands or make unnecessary contact with people<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Handshaking and any other contact must be avoided. <\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<style>\r\n\t\t\t.huge-it-share-buttons {\r\n\t\t\t\tborder:0px solid
