Importance of post orders
1. The Importance of Post Orders
Our customers have learned to expect clear, well written Post Orders. UAS takes pride in producing well
written, easy to use instructions that gives the security guard working the site a clear understanding of his/
her responsibilities by merely referring to the security guard manual. We take time during the transition
process to make sure we have a clear understanding of the customer requirements and we translate that
into Post Orders that are among the finest in the industry. Additionally, they are update every year.
Post Orders, which are also often referred to as security guard manuals, are the written guidelines that
cover the security operations at a facility. In addition to directing officers on how to service a location, they
also provide instructions on how to specifically respond to predictable situations that may occur. Clearly
defined post orders outline expectations and requirements, which as a result, improves accountability and
protects both the client and the security service provider from potential liability risks.
Because each client and site is different, officers cannot be expected to operate efficiently without
definitive guidelines. Unlike generic security procedures, UAS maintains post orders that are site and post
specific. They provide a detailed outline of the duties that our officers are expected to perform. UAS
creates the post orders based on the clients input. Once the post orders have been created, reviewed and
have received final approval from the client, UAS then ensures that the guards have easy access to a copy
at all times.
It is common at our client sites to have procedure changes and new security issues arise throughout the
year. In order to maintain their relevancy and effectiveness, our post orders must be reviewed, updated,
and communicated accordingly throughout the year. Regular communication with our site managers, post
order log sheets signed by each officer, as well as periodic internal audits help ensure that officers are not
only aware of these changes, but practicing them as well.
Workplace safety should always be a priority for any business. Without a successful security program, there
is little room for success elsewhere. To guarantee a high quality security program that protects facilities
from both physical and financial harm, businesses must recognize the importance of creating,
implementing and maintaining post orders.
