The Manager’s Guide to Facility Security

This manager’s guide is designed to help project start-up teams and project leaders better select offices and residences which not only meet operational requirements, but also meet the risk environment in which the project operates. Frequently project teams select facilities and residences to meet pure work functions, however in some environments safety and security also play a significant factor in selection. Poor selection can expose people to risk or cause loss of revenues when costly retro-fixing occurs, or worse, when the projects needs to relocate.

The guide provides sensible guidance to non-security professionals on the following core topics:

• The principles of selecting a facility
• Area considerations (the location of a facility)
• Security considerations for existing or new facilities
• The use of security personnel to augment structures and technologies
• Technical examples of structures and technologies

This guide provides succinct information which will help educate managers to better understand facility security and so select viable locations and make sensible and cost effective upgrades. The document is essential to ensuring facilities provide a safe work place for staff, and that limited funds are directed to sensible solutions.

This comprehensive Manager’s Guide to Facility Security will help both the field teams locate, select and upgrade facilities and residences, as well as protect staff, operations and profits. The guide empowers managers through education and knowledge to consider all essential factors when selecting or upgrading an office or residence.
