FAQs

Who needs emergency response training for security officers?

Emergency response training is for contract and in-house security officers who protect offices, plants, hospitals, campuses, and other facilities. Security supervisors and site managers who plan emergency procedures also benefit. The 33-minute video, in English, covers emergency planning, facility safety, hazmat incidents, workplace violence, and working with public agencies.

What should a security officer do first in an emergency?

In an emergency, a security officer should first take control of the scene, call 911 when needed, and activate the facility's emergency procedures. Next, the officer should prevent further harm by keeping people away from the danger, guiding evacuations, and gathering information for arriving responders.

How should security officers respond to workplace violence?

Security officers responding to workplace violence should follow site procedures, call police immediately, and avoid unnecessary personal risk. Their priorities are warning others, guiding people to safety or lockdown, and giving arriving officers accurate information. Prevention starts earlier, by reporting threats and controlling facility access.

How should security officers handle a hazardous materials incident?

During a hazardous materials incident, security officers should isolate the area, keep people out, and evacuate as directed while staying upwind. They should notify emergency services and facility responders, then provide Safety Data Sheets and location details. Unless trained and equipped, security officers should not try to stop or clean up a release.

How do security officers work with police and fire departments during an emergency?

Security officers support police and fire departments by meeting them at the entrance and briefing them on the incident. They also provide keys, floor plans, and access. They also keep roads and entrances clear and control crowds. Once public agencies arrive, security officers follow the incident commander's direction.
