OSH in the security service

What does the term mean

Safety and health protection at work, i.e. rules for limiting the risks of workers and persons in traffic.

BOZP surveillance is not just a formality. The worker moves in operations, at entrances, at events, in night shifts or near technologies, where there is a risk of injury, conflict, traffic risk or a bad reaction in an emergency situation.

What should be practically covered

  • familiarization with the risks of a specific place, not just a general form signature,
  • procedures for fire, evacuation, accident, aggressive person and technical failure,
  • personal protective equipment and work regime according to the type of station,
  • passing information between shifts and recording incidents.

A well-configured security service takes OHS as part of the system: the worker knows what to do, who to call and when not to take the situation on himself.

Practical meaning

How OSH in the security service applies to a real service

It makes sense mainly when it results in a specific procedure for an object, an event or a team on site.

When is the term resolved

OSH in the security service is mainly handled in practice when checking the contract, internal rules, cameras, records of people, the powers of the worker or the responsibility of the contracting authority.

Common mistakes in practice

The risk is to rely on oral interpretation without an up-to-date procedure, record and verification of who is responsible for a specific decision.

What to do in practice

If the term applies to your real operation, it connects to Site security. That is where we deal with the specific space, scope, responsibility and next step before deployment.
