MANAGEMENT

• 2. Intervention
• 3. Postvention

3. Prevention
Think
Security
All The Time

4. DEVELOP AN EFFECTIVE
SECURITY PLAN
• Do you have a written Security Plan catering to all
perceived threat scenarios?
• Are all your employees fully aware of the plan and their
responsibilities?
• Are they trained in all aspects of your Security Plan?
• Do you unilaterally enforce the provisions of your
Security Plan through Rehearsals?

5. DEVELOP AN EFFECTIVE
SECURITY PLAN
• Does your Security Plan cater to the roles to be played
by:
Contractual Staff, Vendors and Visitors
Payroll staff, both permanent and temporary
Non-Payroll staff, Contingent Staff
• Do we have contact numbers of, and maintain close
liaison with, outside agencies?

6. DEVELOP AN EFFECTIVE
SECURITY PLAN
• Do we conduct mock drills at regular intervals?
• Do we have an effective in-house intelligence system?
• Do we keep in touch with local developments and
analyse incidents reported in other organizations?
• Do we beef up our security arrangements with
technological support?
• Do we have a good monitoring mechanism in place?

18. SECURITY IS “JUST GOOD COMMON SENSE”
• Security involves ensuring that each member of the
organization does what they know they should (“the
right thing”)
• EVERY TIME!
• Even when no one is watching

19. CREATE A POSITIVE, FUNCTIONAL WORK
CULTURE
• Never allow the “old timers” to influence newer workers
with shortcuts, insecure acts, bad security attitudes etc.
• Cause each employee to WANT to work and go home
safe and secure…happy employees are effective
employees
• Reward employees when you “catch” them doing their
job right

20. SECURITY DISINCENTIVES
• Do you punish the correct behavior?
• Reporting near misses, etc.?
• Do you reward incorrect behavior?
• Failure to discipline security breaches?
• Failure to report accidents, incidents and near
misses?
• Failure to enforce safety the security plans?

21. TOP DOWN OR BOTTOM UP?
• Are your top supervisors and managers (or you, the
owner) committed to security?
• REALLY COMMITTED?
• Do your employees follow your security guidelines?
• ALWAYS?
• What happens when someone in your employment
does not comply with the security plans?
• DO YOU HAVE A DISCIPLINARY PROGRAMME?
• DO YOU USE IT WHENEVER NECESSARY?

22. SAVE TIME & MONEY & IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY
(AT THE SAME TIME)
• Do you believe that you can save money down the
road by spending it on training today?
• Some benefits of an effective security plan:
• When your employees are well trained and your
equipment runs at its best, your productivity will
improve, saving time and money

23. ELIMINATE SECURITY SLIPS FROM OCCURRING
RATHER THAN INVESTIGATE DISASTERS LATER
• If you allow a security breach or violation of the security
plan to continue to exist, it will eventually have
disastrous consequences
• Look at all near misses, determine causes, eliminate
problems BEFORE they harm life and property
• If security breaches are prevented from occurring,
disasters will be averted.

24. Security Plans should be clear.
They should not confuse?
Are your intentions and desires
regarding work practices
clear?

25. DEVELOP GOOD COMMUNICATIONS IN YOUR
WORKPLACE
• Encourage open communications regarding security
issues
• When employees are confident you’ll listen, they’ll tell you
what is wrong! And help you fix it!
• Never punish an employee for reporting a “Near Miss”
• Use the “Learning Cycle” rather than the “Blame Cycle”
• How can WE fix this problem (learning)? vs. why did YOU
mess up (blame)?

26. DEMAND SECURITY PERFORMANCE FROM YOUR
EMPLOYEES
• Train employees to do the job right (the first time)
• Train employees to always avoid “short cuts”
• Observe work practices and individuals often enough to
ensure that jobs/tasks are being done according to
training received
• If employee is observed performing job contrary to
training, ensure that employee understood training,
retrain, observe work, monitor…
• Firmly and quickly discipline employees who repeatedly
do not follow established security guidelines

27. LEAD BY EXAMPLE!
• “Walk your Walk…Talk your Talk”
• When you require employees & contractors to wear
PPE in a specific work area, make sure you also wear
the same (required) PPE
• Security Plans MUST be enforced unilaterally with out
regard to the individual
• When you require your employees to wear seatbelts on
the job, make sure they never catch you without yours
in use!

28. SECURITY MEETINGS
• Keep security in mind at all times & meet frequently
• Confirm & reinforce existing Security Plans
• Update Security Teams with latest developments

29. INTERVENTION
• Preparedness
• Response
• Mitigation
• Train the way you fight, and fight the
way you train
• Assist Law Enforcement Agencies

30. POSTVENTION
• Restoration to Normalcy
• Rehabilitation
• Life must return to normal and
business must continue as usual
