The main duties of a professional security guard are related to the main reason they’re hired; to keep private property and individuals safe.
Ensuring the safety of people and property from common & uncommon danger is carried out in many ways which include foot patrols, periodic perimeter checks, drone surveillance, CCTV surveillance, and monitoring motion detection alerts for an early warning of unauthorized intruders.
However, there are other dangers. Danger can show its face in many forms, of which many may not come to mind.
Some dangers like slippery floors, loose handrails, and fire or electrical shock hazards don’t come to mind when thinking of security guards but are also among the ways security guards keep us safe.
In fact, personal safety is one of the main reasons security guards are hired for special events; to keep people in the safe areas as opposed to the secondary goal of controlling crowd flow. In turn, this limits the financial liability of the hiring organization or individuals. In short, when a “professional” security guard does their job with excellence, the client benefits in more ways than one.
