alarms and tannoy messages, are crucial to ensure your staff are as protected as they can be.
Additionally, visible access control measures and building lockdown procedures may either deter an attacker, slow them down or prevent them from gaining full entry to move inside a building. Security control rooms are also an effective method for monitoring key workplace areas such as entrances and exits and can allow for a quicker response to alert emergency services.
“SECURITY CONTROL ROOMS CAN ALLOW FOR A QUICKER RESPONSE TO
ALERT EMERGENCY SERVICES.”
INCIDENT RESPONSE Those responsible for building security or facilities management need to ensure that there are clearly understood, up to date and coherent incident response plans in place. These plans should include how to alert and update employees, visitors, customers and members of the public as well as other building tenants, of an emergency, and should make clear the relevant roles and responsibilities of duty security managers and facility managers, including the points of contact for liaison with the emergency responders. All employees should be aware of the relevant telephone numbers for the police and emergency services and should be trained on how to account for employees as rapidly as possible
Many businesses conduct mandatory fire drills in the workplace regularly, so given the randomness, speed and violence associated with an active shooter attack, employers should consider that training and rehearsing for such an eventuality, albeit of a lesser likelihood, would be time well spent in providing their organisation and employees with the tools and procedures required to maximise staff safety and security.
