Safe storage of security equipment
The importance of safe keeping of all security equipment at a security site must not be
underestimated.
The purpose of placing all equipment in safe storage can only be explained by outlining the
implications of not receiving and returning of the equipment.
1.1 Implications
It takes a lot of money to buy the correct equipment for each site. All equipment are usually been
placed at the site due to site specifications and therefore your co-workers will also use some of it
to complete the job and to protect himself and the property being guarded.
If one shift does not comply with the general rule the shifts to follow will not be able to perform
their functions properly.
All equipment needs to be placed in an inventory list and signed by each shift taking over from
each other. Failing to inspect the inventory can result in:
♦
♦
♦
Non-compliance of job function
Financial losses
Investigation into theft and or loss.
It is therefore imperative that an complete check on the working condition needs to be done for
every shift take over, issuing of the equipment and returning of the equipment.
