  Safety Tips for Trick-or-Treaters  Go trick-or-treating with a group of friends or family members.  Stay in well-lit areas and streets. Don't go into any stranger's home or car.  Only eat candy given to you by someone you know.  Be careful while crossing streets.  Wear reflective tape on your costume so drivers can see you.  Carry a flashlight or glow stick to see and be seen.  Tell an adult where you're going and when you expect to be back.  If you see something suspicious, tell an adult or call the police.  Halloween Masks Make sure the mask fits snugly but comfortably.  Avoid masks covering your entire face, which can restrict your breathing.  If you are wearing a mask with a long wig, make sure it is tied back so it does not get caught in anything.  If you feel dizzy or lightheaded, remove the mask and take a break.  Do not wear a mask while driving or operating machinery.  Supervise young children closely ...

  Six Key Responsibilities of a Security Guard Listen on Spotify   Watch on YouTube If you are considering becoming a security guard, you may think the job is relatively straightforward: provide security. While this is your primary function, there is much more to your general duties than that simple summary suggests. Here, we look at six key responsibilities that may be placed on your shoulders as a security guard. 1. A Sense of Security To the person employing you, you provide genuine security services – preventing theft in retail settings, intruders in offices, and fights/drunken behavior in bars, for example. To the on-site staff and the public, you provide something subtly different: a sense of security. This is a crucial distinction. Wherever you are stationed, you will make the people around you feel safer by being there. Your presence is invaluable whether they acknowledge this consciously or it is a subconscious response. These people know that there is someone they ca...

  Security Training for Non-Security Staff: Is It Worthwhile?

We may sometimes look at what is needed for the next rung up the ladder if we are dealing with a promotion prospect. The truth is, though, that there are a couple of core skills that all staff can benefit from, and as a result, your business will also reap the benefits.  Those skills include the provision of first aid and security training. The benefits of more staff being first aid trained are relatively evident, but for security training, those perks are more obscure.  So – how can ‘regular’ staff benefit from security training? Perhaps more importantly, how can your company take advantage? Let’s find out!  What Skills Does Security Training Develop?  A good security guard has honed a range of complementary skills, typically through a combination...
