Sentinels of Safety: The Role of Security Guard ServicesJames Mathews
Security guard services are like protectors. They watch over places to make sure nothing bad happens. They work in different places like buildings, events, and neighborhoods. Security guards do many things to keep us safe. They check who comes in and out of places, look out for any trouble, and help if something goes wrong. Just having them around makes people feel safer.
The simplest means to recognise a guard’s degree of training is via qualification. Also, licensing is another important thing to consider. The Security Guards In Sydney have a liable training and licensing.

BUILDING A SAFETY CULTURE
A safety culture is an organizational culture that places a high level of importance on safety beliefs, values and attitudes—and these are shared by the majority of people within the company or workplace. It can be characterized as 'the way we do things around here'.
It is a subset of the overall organizational or company culture. Many companies talk about 'safety culture' when referring to the inclination of their employees to comply with rules or act safety or unsafely.
A positive safety culture exists when employees understand the importance of safety and exhibit positive safety behaviors. Examples of positive safety behaviors include wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) without being asked, completing risks assessments for all jobs and reporting all incidents.
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), developing a strong safety culture has the single greatest impact on accident reduction of any workplace practice. Therefore, developing a safety culture should be a top priority for the managers and supervisors at your organization.
OBJECTIVES OF A SAFETY CULTURE
Safety culture is the set of shared attitudes, beliefs, and practices demonstrated by workers at all levels of the company. A positive safety culture connects everyone in the company around a common goal to measurably reduce near misses and incidents. It goes beyond following safety procedures and rules.
In a positive safety culture, all employees are accountable for maintaining standards and procedures. This means management enforces safety standards and understands the requirements for a safe workplace, while on-site employees follow those standards and ensure their colleagues follow them, too.
Safety Culture is about People, Practices and Environment. As organizations and workplaces we should endeavor to be strong culture based.
What does strong culture-based safety mean?
Let’s take a look at each word in turn…
• Culture: the shared values, beliefs and attitudes of a given group, which show themselves as behavior.
• Based: the main principle or starting point.
• Safety: people not getting injured or killed.
A safety culture consists of shared beliefs, practices and mind-sets that exist at an organization and form an atmosphere of attitudes that shape behavior in a positive way. An organization’s safety culture is a direct result of the following factors:
• Management and employee norms, assumptions, and beliefs
• Management and employee attitudes
• Values, myths, and stories
• Policies and procedures
• Supervisor priorities, responsibilities, and accountability
• Production and bottom line pressure versus quality issues
• Actions, or lack thereof, to correct unsafe behaviors
• Employee training and motivation
• Employee involvement and buy-in during the process
A company’s safety culture is a direct reflection of the organization’s overarching culture and the people who work in it. As a result, most employees will gen

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

This slides describes the basic concepts of ICT, basics of Email, Emerging Technology and Digital Initiatives in Education. This presentations aligns with the UGC Paper I syllabus.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

5. Security
“a state or feeling of being
safe and secure”
The Private Security Industry
“provides manned and technical
protection to premises, people and
their property”
6. Security is provided in three ways
Manned Security
Physical Security
Systems
1
2
3
7. Where one or more
security operatives work
on a site providing both
a deterrent against
crime and an immediate
response to incidents as
they occur.
Manned Security1
9. Electronic and other
technical systems to
monitor premises for
crime and other dangers,
such as intruder alarms,
fire detection systems
and closed circuit
television (CCTV)
systems.
Systems3
10. Door supervisors
Security officers
Cash and valuables
in transit operatives
CCTV operators
Close protection operatives
Vehicle immobilisers
Any person paid or used to provide any form of
manned security to a client or premises
11. A Door Supervisor carries out
security duties in or at licensed
premises, like pubs and
nightclubs, preventing crime
and disorder and keeping staff
and customers safe.
12. A Security Officer guards premises against
unauthorised access or occupation, or against
outbreaks of disorder or against damage.
They also guard property against being stolen,
against damage or against otherwise being
dishonestly taken or obtained
They may also guard one or more individuals
against assault or against injuries that might be
suffered in consequence of the unlawful
conduct of others
This includes providing a physical presence, or
carrying out a form of patrol or surveillance to
deter crime.
13. Key holding is where a security officer keeps
custody of, or controls access to, any key or
similar device for operating (whether
mechanically, electronically or otherwise) any
lock.
14. Cash and valuables in
transit operations refer to
guarding property against
destruction or theft whilst
using secure
transportation of the
property in specially
manufactured vehicles.
15. CCTV operators carry out guarding
activities using closed circuit
television equipment, to either
monitor the activities of
members of the public in
a public or private place,
or to identify a particular
person. This includes the
use of CCTV to record images
to be viewed on non-CCTV
equipment
16. Close Protection is
guarding one or more
individuals against
assaults or injuries that
might be suffered in
consequence of the
unlawful conduct of
others.
17. Vehicle immobilisers are security operatives
who either move vehicles, restrict the
movement of vehicles using a device, or
release vehicles after demanding or
collecting a charge.
18. It is very important that security operatives
appear professional at all times
Clients and members of the public expect
security staff to act in a certain way.
20. Over half a million people
Contributing over £6
billion per year to the UK
economy
One of the few growing
industries
Operatives are usually
employed by security
companies, who supply
staff under contract
Some are in-house
(working directly for the
client).
21. Depending on the size of the security company,
progression can include any of the following
positions:
Owner
Security operative
Supervisor
Team leader
Area manager
Regional manager
Director
Other support roles
within these
companies include
trainers, assessors,
account managers
and a variety of
specialist roles
22. Security companies and individual security
operatives work with a number of other ‘key
bodies’ in their efforts to protect clients and
prevent crime
These bodies fulfil
different functions,
but all play a role
in the provision of
general security.
23. Security operatives should
work closely with the
police service as they are
considered to be part of
the wider police family.
24. “Ensures that private security operatives
are fit and proper persons who are
properly trained and qualified to do their
job”
26. Security operatives regularly come into contact
with members of the public during the course of
their duties
They also regularly interact with other members
of staff and people from other organisations
Effective
communication
is vital
29. The words we use
are obviously
important, but so is
the tone in which
we use those words.
It’s not just what we
say, but how we say
it that counts.
“when we interact with another person using
words and tone to convey our message”
30. “is everything else that we do when we
communicate with another person on a
face-to-face basis”
How we stand, what we are
wearing, how close we are
to the other person, eye
contact, how we use our
hands, other body gestures
– these all help us to convey
our message.
31. Within the workplace we
will also be conveying
messages using written
communication, in the
form of reports, letters
and e-mails.
32. Effective communication helps us to:
Get the job done
Create a good impression
of ourselves
Create a good impression
for the organisation
Reduce incidents of conflict,
aggression or violence
…in the workplace
33. Communication skills play an important role in
how we interact with our colleagues,
supervisors and managers
Treat all members of staff with courtesy and
respect, and expect to be treated in the same
way
Good communication with our
colleagues is essential
…in a team
36. These include:
Visitors to the site
Workmen
Delivery drivers
The emergency services
Neighbours
Members of the public.
37. Keep in mind that all customers:
are individuals
have differing needs and expectations
may be from different culture, religions & age
groups
Personal values are formed as you grow up and
are affected by:
Birthplace
Where you live
Upbringing
‣ Friends
‣ Family
38. Security Operatives need
to take into account other
people’s values, and try to
choose the most appropriate
and effective way of dealing
with them
40. One of our main roles as
a security operative is
looking after people
How we treat people
when we deal with them
is very important
Customer care is all
about
how we deliver our
service,
how we provide security
to our customers on a
day-to-day basis.
41. Be professional with every customer
Be approachable
Concern yourself with the customer’s
needs
Treat customers as you would wish to be
treated yourself
Go out of your way to help customers
Leave customers pleased with how you
have dealt with them
42. Using poor communication skills
Showing a lack of commitment
Expressing a lack of concern
Not listening to the customer
Making jokes or being rude
Ignoring or failing to
acknowledge the customer
Appearing bored or impatient
Failing to do what you have
promised.
43. Communicating effectively
is an important part of
delivering customer care
Speak to customers in a
way that is appropriate to
them, shows
professionalism and gets
the job done.
45. Make a good first impression
Acknowledge them straight away
Be polite
Show that you want to help them
Find out how you can assist them
Decide on the best course of action
Use their name if you know it

been dealt with professionally, correctly and
personally.
CQ
48. Every year thousands of
people have time off
work due to injuries that
could have been avoided
if Health & Safety
procedures were better.
Health & Safety
procedures are there to
keep us all safe.
49. Carry out a risk assessment
Do what they can to remove or reduce those
risks
Provide safety equipment
Ensure safe working practices
Provide relevant instruction and training
Provide suitable personal protective clothing or
equipment
There may be a written Health & Safety policy,
or even a safety committee
50. Take reasonable care of their
own Health & Safety
Don’t do anything unsafe
Follow the organisation’s
Health & Safety policy
Obey all safety instructions
Use protective equipment properly
Follow the organisation’s/site’s
emergency procedures.
51. Good Health & Safety practices help
reduce hazards & risks.
“… anything that
has the potential to
cause harm.”
“… the chance that
harm could happen in
certain circumstances.”
A hazard is A risk is
52. Good health and safety practices are all about
reducing hazards and risks
“The identification of hazards, the calculation
of risk and the reduction of that risk, either
completely or to an acceptable level.”
53. REVIEW AND REVISE AS NECESSARY
IDENTIFY HAZARDS
IDENTIFY THOSE WHO MAY BE HARMED
EVALUATE RISK BY CONSIDERING EXISTING PRECAUTIONS
RECORD THE FINDINGS
PRINCIPLES OF RISK ASSESSMENT

54. Can the hazard be eliminated?
Can the cause be substituted by something with a reduced risk?
Can the hazard be enclosed in some way?
Can the hazard be isolated?
Would ventilation reduce the risk?
Could the amount of exposure time be reduced?
Would additional training reduce the risk?
Would PPE help?
Would first aid facilities help?
55. Slips, trips and falls
Injuries from poor lifting and carrying techniques
Misuses or abuse of machinery

59. Load Individual Task
If it is too heavy,
can it be
lightened or split?
If it is unstable,
can handles be
fitted or the load
be reapportioned?
Environment
Consider the
capability of the
person. Are they
strong/fit
enough? Are they
adequately
trained for the
task?
Does the task
involve
stretching,
twisting or
bending? Can
machinery be
used or can team
handling be used?
Where the task
takes place. Is the
floor slippery or
uneven? Can the
layout or floor
condition be
improved?

60. Stop and think
Position the feet
Bend the knees
Get a firm grip
Keep a straight back
Raise the load with the legs
Keep the load close to the body
The easiest way is not
always the safest!
61. All workplaces have safety
signs and by
understanding their
meaning, it helps security
personnel to keep
themselves, their
colleagues and their
customers safe
They are colour-coded and
have specific shapes
according to their
meaning.
62. This sign is used to tell
people they must not do
