As part of an organisation’s Duty of Care to it’s employees and business, corporate policies and procedures should reflect that there is an overall policy and a set of procedures covering work undertaken in potential trouble spots. There should be a designated HQ-based executive, who has the responsibility for:
|
| |
|
Ensuring that the corporate contingency plan is documented, up-to-date and relevant. |
|
Ensuring that local security assessments are reviewed and updated on a regular basis. |
|
Ensuring that personnel being deployed to these areas are properly trained and briefed with regard to the threats they face and what they need to do to mitigate these threats. |
|
Regularly reviewing the security advice from a professional security organisation. |
|
Initiating the evacuation of personnel when the current level of risk to personnel is unacceptably high – local managers on the ground will be reluctant to take such a decision, except in emergency situations. |
|
LBi will create the policy document and integrate it into your own policies and procedures.
Le Beck International offers an independent and objective service for both the private and public sectors. Whether the requirement is for a complete service or to review current security and contingency procedures, do not leave it to the last minute.
