A site security plan is necessary for organizations where criminal acts may occur. Whether it’s a pre-planned criminal act by an employee, a heated encounter between visitors, or a terrorist attack, site security ensures that people and equipment can stay safe until the dangers have been removed from the premises. These plans establish as many protocols as possible before an event happens. Its precautions not only take into account the structure of the facilities and the grounds, but also the individual likelihood of different threats befalling the site. From the least targeted to the most at-risk facilities, having a solid plan can help you keep everything under control even when your staff is in the midst of clear and present danger. We’ll look at how plans work and why site security classes can be the key to helping you implement them.
What is Site Security?
Site security should account for the following parameters:
- Expectations for likely situations
- Measures and protocols that must be taken
- Security management
- Everyday policies
- Cybersecurity
In other words, site security monitoring doesn’t have to mean planning for the most extreme incidents that might happen on a site. Perimeter breaches, domestic violence, theft of equipment, disagreements between employees: all of these events can be folded into the plan. It needs to spell out clear information about how to maintain security on a regular basis. Site security classes through a Kontek program can work wonders to keep staff on their toes and ready for anything. These tutorials can go over what should be included, suggest better metrics for ongoing staff training, and help you analyze where the real threats are.
Creating a Site Security Plan
There are different tiers (1 – 4) for site security that account for differences between facilities. For instance, a local mall will have a vastly different site security plan than a nuclear power plant. A high-risk chemical facility will need to include perimeter security, access control, and virtual defenses. Whether it's job site security or construction site security though, security plans are critical to what happens in an emergency.
The exercise of both creating and updating a security plan gives decision-makers the chance to assess the strengths and weaknesses of existing protocols and adjust them as necessary. It’s a chance to identify critical assets so they can be protected according to priority. From personnel to security infrastructure, the security plan should list these resources and spell out how everything is to be treated during conflict.
