INDUSTRIAL SECURITY MANAGEMENT By: Janice Bihasa Aguinaldo Introduction: Security from a laymans point of view refers to the

security guards whose main function is to protect an office, building, installation or equipment against trespass, theft arson and other inimical acts. As a security officer, the job includes the implementation of a viable security education program which will sell security measures to the customer-clientele of the private policing activities. It is also a must to improve the knowledge, and adopt an open mind regarding the many faceted problems involved in industrial security management. The security of any business establishment today is a complex process. Due the increased size of industrial plants and the corresponding size of the working force, gone are those days when uniformed security guards could manage to provide adequate protection. Security work now is a profession that requires specialized skills, experience, managerial direction and leadership. Security involves active and passive measures so that effective defenses can be established against crimes. Active measures are the physical barriers, security lighting, use of vaults, locks, and other examples of active security measures. Passive measures are those that will deter man from committing such acts for fear of being caught, charged in court, or get dismissed. Employees can be made realize that acts and therefore are punishable. Security education programs, investigations, fire prevention seminars, personnel security checks are other examples of passive measures.

Concepts of Security What is a Security? Is the state of quality of being secure; freedom from fear or danger; assurance of certainty. To secure is to make safe or be protected. Three Major Areas of Security : 1) Physical Security Is the broadest branch of security which is concerned with the physical measures adopted to prevent unauthorized access to equipment, facilities, materials and document and to safeguard it from espionage, sabotage, damage and theft. Physical security not only covers types of security to
2

protect equipment, document, facilities and materials against damage, sabotage or espionage. It also encompasses protection of personnel from criminal act. 2) Personnel Security Personnel security starts even before the hiring of an employee and remains to be maintained for as long as the person is employed. 3) Document and information Security This involves the protection of documents and classified papers from loss, access by unauthorized persons, damage, theft, and compromise through disclosure. PROTECTIVE SECUITY SYSTEMS Protective Security those measure taken by an installation or unit to protect itself against sabotage, espionage or subversion and at the same time provide freedom of action in order to provide installation of the unit with the necessary flexibility to accomplish its mission. The aspects o protective security can be seen with the application of the following: 1) Communications Security

Is the protection resulting from the application of various measures which prevent or delay the enemy or unauthorized persons in gaining information through the communication system. This includes: a) Transmission Security

A component of communications security which results from all measures designed to protect transmission from interception, traffic analysis and imitative deception. b) Cryptographic Security Results from the provisions of technically sound crypto-system and their proper use. c) Physical Security

Providing a safeguards to equipment and material from access by unauthorized persons. 2) Hotel Security The protection of assets, guests, personal effect and other properties in a hotel. 3) Bank Security

A specialized type of physical security in protecting the assets, personnel and operation of a bank, with special emphasis on the precaution and measures to safeguard the cash and assets while in storage; in transit, and during transactions. 4) Document Security

Is a physical security involving the protection of documents and classified matters from loss or access by unauthorized persons, damages, theft and compromise through disclosure. 5) Personal Security

It is the protection of personnel, especially the ranking officials of the company from any harm, kidnapping and other criminal acts. VIP security is also a type of personal security. 6) Crises Security
3

A part of VIP security involving hostage taking and kidnapping of VIPs. 7) Industrial Security

It is a physical security applied to business groups engaged in industries like manufacturing, assembling, research and development, processing, warehousing and even agriculture. It is a form of physical security involving industrial plant and business enterprises where the personnel, processes, properties and operations are safeguarded. Use of protective barriers, and security lighting, personnel movement control, locks and key management, guard forces, communications and electronic hardware are essential, aside from fire prevention and control programs, emergency plans, industrial safety and security education programs. 8) Operational Security

It is part of physical security that deals primarily with the protection of processes, formulas, patents, and other industrial and manufacturing activities from espionage, infiltration, loss, compromise, or photocopying. 9) Other Special Types a) Air Cargo Security To minimize, if not prevented, losses of cargo during transit, storage of transfer. b)

What is a Security Hazard? Is an act or conditions which results in a situation conducive to a breach of the protection system and the subsequent loss or compromise of defense information, company secrets, or damage to personnel, property or facilities. Kinds of Security Hazards: 1) Human Hazard

Are the acts or conditions affecting the safe operation of the facility caused by human action, accidental or intentional. It includes sabotage, espionage, pilferage and theft, disloyalty, disaffection and subversive activity. 2) Natural Hazards

Are those caused by natural phenomena which cause damage, disturbance and problems of the moral functioning of human activities, including security. It includes floods, typhoons, earthquakes, lighting storms, volcanic eruptions, high-velocity winds, tidal waves, etc. It should be noted that the real problems actually in industrial plants are the human or manmade hazards, the most common of which are pilferage, theft, arson, accidents through carelessness, and sabotage. Extent and Degree of Risks to Security will be Dependent on the following: 1) Relative Criticality

Is the importance of the firm with reference to the natural economy and security. 2) Relative Vulnerability
4

Is the susceptibility of the plant or establishment to damage, loss or disruption of operation due to various hazards. Types of Pilferer: 1) Casual Pilferer

One who steals due to his inability to resist the unexpected opportunity and has little fear by detection. 2) Systematic Pilferer

One who steals with preconceived plans and takes away any of all types of items or supplies for economic gain.

PHYSICAL SECURITY
-

Physical security measures are being used to define, protect, and monitor property rights and assets. Can be defined as any structure or physical device capable o restricting, deterring, delaying, illegal access o an installation.

Barrier -

What is a Perimeter Barrier: A medium or structure which defines the physical limits of an installations or area to restrict or impede access thereto. It is any physical barrier used to supplement the protection of an inside or outside perimeter.

PURPOSES OF Barriers 1. Define the physical limits of an area. 2. Create a physical and psychological deterrent o unauthorized entry. 3. Prevent penetration therein or delay intrusion, thus, facilitating apprehension of intruders. 4. Assist in more efficient and economical employment of guards 5. Facilitate and improve the control and vehicular traffic.

Types of Physical Barriers: 1) Natural Barrier

Geographical features like include mountains, cliffs, canyons, rivers, seas, marshes, deserts or terrain difficult to traverse. 2) Man-Made Barrier

These are features constructed by man regardless to their original intent that ends to delay the intruder Are structural constructions like fences, walls, floors, roofs, grills, bars, road blocks, or other physical means to deter or impede penetration. 3) Human Barriers Persons being used in providing a guarding system or by the nature of their employment and location, fulfill security functions. Examples are guards, office personnel, shop workers, etc, 4) Animal barriers Animals are used in partially providing a guarding system. Example are dogs, geese etc. 5) Energy Barriers

It is the employment of mechanical, electrical, electronic energy imposes a deterrent to entry by potential intruder o to provide warning to guard personnel. These are protective lighting, alarm system, and any electronic devised used as barriers. Three(3) line of physical defense 1. First line of defense - perimeter fences 2. Second line of defense - doors, floors, windows, walls, roofs, and grills, and other entries to a buildings 3. Third line of defense - storage system like steel. Cabinets, safes, vaults, and interior files. Perimeter security - It is the protection of the installations inner and the immediate vicinity. The main purpose of perimeter barrier is to delay or impede aces or exit of unauthorized person. Types of Perimeter Barriers: Perimeter barriers includes fences, walls, bodies of waters Types of fences Solid fence Constructed in such away that visual access through the fence is denied. Its advantage is that it denies the opportunity or the intruder to become familiar with the personnel, activities and the time scheduled of the movements of the guards in installation. On the other hand, it prevents the guards from observing the area around the installation and it creates shadow that may be used by the intruder for cover and concealment.

Full-view Fence - Visual access is permitted through the fence. Types of full-view fence 1. Chain Link fence - It must be constructed in a 7-foot material excluding top guard. It must be 9 gauge or heavier. Mesh openings are not to be larger than 2 inches per side. It should be twisted and barbed salvage at top and bottom. It should be securely fastened to rigid metal or reinforced concrete.
6

It must reach within 2 inches of hard ground or paving.

It must reach below surface deep enough on soft grounds to compensate for shifting soil or sand. 2. Barbed Wire Fence Standard barbed wire is twisted, double-strand, 12 gauge wire, with 4 point barbs spaced on equal distance apart. Barbed wire fencing must be firmly affixed to posts not more than 6 feet apart. Barbed wire fencing should not be less than 7 feet high excluding top guard. The distance between strands will not exceed 6 inches and at least one wire will interlaced vertically and midway between posts.

3. Concertina WIRE - Standard concertina barbed wire is a commercially manufactured wire coil of high-strength steel barbed wire clipped together at intervals to form of a cylinder. - Opened concertina wire is 50 ft long and 3 ft in diameter.

Wire Fences

Is a type of perimeter barrier made of chain link design with mesh openings not larger than two inches square, and made of # 9 gauge wire or heavier, minimum height of which is 7 feet. Building Wall

Masonry wall should have the same height as the chain link and surmounted by the barbed wire top guards; if the height is less than the prescribed, additional chain-link as topping is placed to attain the minimum height requirement. Kinds of Perimeter Barrier Openings: Security Specifications for Windows Opening: Windows of openings less than 18 feet above the ground, roofs, ledges, etc., or less than 14 feet directly or diagonally opposite uncontrolled windows in other walls, fire escapes, or other openings of 96 sq. in. or larger should be grilled or have steel bar protections. 1) Gates and doors - guarded and locked. 2) Sidewalk elevators - it provides access to areas within the perimeter barriers and should be locked or guarded. 3) 4) Utility openings - composed of sewers, air intakes, exhaust tunnels which penetrate the barriers and which have cross-sectioned area of 96 sq. in. or more should be protected by bar grills, etc. Clear Zones - an obstructed area maintained on both sides of the perimeter barrier. A clear zone of 20 ft. or more is desirable between the barrier and extension structures and natural covers which may provide concealment or assistance to a person seeking unauthorized entry. Where it is impossible to have clear zones because of property lines or natural features, an increment in the height of the fencing, increased guard coverage, more security lighting, or the use of intrusion devices in that portion of the perimeter barrier should be done. Bodies of Water It is an additional security measures, surrounding the establishment.

Specifications on Clear Zones:

1) 2)

A clear zone of 20 feet of more should exist between the perimeter barriers and exterior structures, parking areas, natural or man-made features. A clear zone 50 feet or more should exist between the perimeter barrier and structures within the protected areas except when a building wall constitutes part of the perimeter barrier

Additional Protective Measures: 1) Top Guard

It is an additional overhang or barbed wire placed on vertical perimeter fences facing upward and outward with a 45 degrees angle with three to four strands of barbed wires spaced 6 apart. This will increase the protective height and prevent easy access. 2) Sentry Stations/ guard control stations

Normally provided at the main perimeter entrances to secure areas located out of doors, and manned by guards on a full time basis. Sentry Stations should be near a perimeter for surveillance at the entrance. 3) Tower Guard It gives a psychological effect to

Are house-like structure above the perimeter barriers. violators. 4) Protection in Depth

In large open areas or ground where fencing or walling is impracticable and expensive, warning signs should be conspicuously placed. The depth itself is protection. Reduction of access roads and sufficient notices to warn intruders should be done. Use of animal guards and intrusion devices can also be done. 5) Signs and Notices

Control signs should be erected where necessary in the management of unauthorized ingress, and preclude accidental entry, ID, prohibition, and exclusive areas signs. 6) Barrier Maintenance Fencing barriers and protective walls should always be regularly inspected by security. . PROTECTIVE LIGHTING Security Lighting: Security Lighting provides sufficient illumination to areas during hours of darkness. Among its other purpose are: 1) It improves visibility so that intruders can be seen, identified or apprehended.

2) It gives psychological fear which serves as a deterrent to thieves, pilferers, trespassers, and saboteurs. 3) nighttime. 3) It makes the routine work of guard easier of identifying employees, vehicles, etc. during

If placed in certain areas, may even reduce the number of stationary guards, and instead, may require roving patrol only at night.
8

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PROTECTIVE LIGHTING a. Inexpensive to maintain b. Reduced security forces c. Provide personal protection for security forces Security Lighting Techniques: 1) Security lighting should enable a guard to observe clearly the activities around and inside the premises within his jurisdictions. 4) In planning, high contrast between intruder and background should be provided. When contrast is poor, increase intensity will improve guards ability to see. 3) Lighting boundaries and approaches, as well as the area and structure is useful to discourage unauthorized entries and reveal identity of persons. Good lighting should reveal well boundaring areas, glaring to intruders and adequate for the guard to observe his positions. 4) Effective lighting should:
a)

Acts as deterrent- deter or discourage attempts to enter the premise; make detection were likely if entry is attempted.

b)

5) If lighting at night cannot be provide due to impracticability, other means of protection have to be made like additional guard posts, roving patrols and animal guards. Types of Security Lighting:
1)

Stationary Luminary/ continuous lighting Common protective lighting system It is consist of stationary luminaries

Most common type, consisting of series of fixed luminous to light a given area continuously with overlap. It may either be: a) Glare Protection Type

The intensity is focused to the intruder while the observer or guard remain in the comparative darkness. The lighting is toward the approach of an entrance to an installation. Lights with reflectors increase glare. b) Controlled Lighting

The width of the lighted-atop can be controlled and adjusted to suit the security needs. The lighting is focused is focused, sag, on a pile of items, rather than on the background. These two types are used on the entry gate of employees and vehicles. 2) Stand-by Lighting

Similar to continuous lighting, but in turned on manually or be special devices or other automatic means, when there is suspicion of entry. 3) Movable Lighting

Consist of stationary or portable, manually operated search lights which may be lighted continuously during hours of darkness or only as needed, and usually supplementary to either of the first two types.it consist manually operated movable searchlights which may be either lighted during darkness or only as needed.
9

4)

Emergency Lighting

A stand-by lighting which can be utilized in the event of electrical failure, either due to local equipment or commercial power failure. It depends on alternative power sources such as portable generators or batteries. Types of Lighting used for protective purposes 1) Incandescent Lamps

Common light bulbs in which light is produced by the resistance of a filament to electric current. For better concentration of light, metal reflectors are used, and directed on areas to be lighted. 2) Gaseous Discharge Lamps

Economical to use but take two or five minutes to light which may be a disadvantage in industrial security lighting. Examples are as follows: a) Mercury-vapor Lamps blue green color light due to the presence of mercury vapor.

b) Sodium-vapor Lamps emits yellow light, placed usually in areas to connote special concern, like bridges and streets.
c)

Quarts Lamps very bright light. Excellent for use along perimeters and in critical areas.

4 basic types with security applications 1. Floodlights - they are appropriate for use in instances which call for illumination of boundaries, buildings or fences . 2. Searchlights - these are highly focus incandescent lamps used to pinpoint potential trouble spots 3. Fresnel - these are wide beam units used to extend the illumination in long horizontal strips. Fresnel project a narrow horizontal beam approximately 180 degrees in the horizontal and from 15-30 degrees in vertical lane. 4. Streetlights - produced a diffused light rather than directional beam. They are widely used in parking areas. Protective Alarms: Alarm, aural or visual signal given by the annunciator to security when intruder actuates device in a protected area. An annunciator is a visual or audible signaling device which initiates conditions of associated circuits. Basically, alarm system are designed to alert security personnel to consumate or attempted intrusions into an area, building or compound. Each type of alarm is activated in the event that an intruder tampers with the circuitry, a beam, or radiated waves; intrusion alarm can be electrical, mechanical, or electronic. Alarms are also used for fire, smoke or other emergencies and presence of other hazards. Types of Protective Alarm Systems: 1. Central Station System

Several separate compounds tie their alarm system to a central station so that in case of need, the central station calls for assistance to the police, fire department, hospital or with other government assisting units.
10

2.

Proprietory System

Similar to the central station type except that the proprietory console is located inside the subscribers installation who owns or base the system. 3. Auxillary System

An installationowned system which is a direct extension of the local enforcement agency and/or fire department by special arrangement. 4. Local Alarm System

Consist of rigging up a visual or audible alarm near the object to be protected. In case of alarm, response will be made by the local guards and other personnel within sight or hearing. Desirable Characteristics of Intrusion Alarm System: Intrusion alarm devices are designed to detect and not to prevent criminal acts and should be used normally as an adjunct and not a replacement of the human guard forces. The primary considerations on the choice of a particular alarm system include stability, durability and reliability. Desirable characteristics, furthermore, should include: a) A detection unit should initiate the alarm upon intrusion of a human being in the area or vicinity of the protected object. b) Panel board central annunciator or operating console monitoring activities should be removed at all times. Transmission can be by physical wires or by radio. c) An annunciator console indicating the audible and/or aural signal and the specific location of incident so that proper action can be made by security and other units. d) system. e) saboteurs. Fail-safe features give alarms in the annunciator when something is wrong with the System should be difficult to tamper or render ineffective by outsiders, competitors or

Operation of Intrusion Alarm System: Intrusion devices emit certain signals to the annunciator and operate on the following principles: a) Breaking an Electric Circuit

In a building or compound, all possible points of entry can be wired by using electrically charged strips of tinfoil or wire. Any action that will move the foil or wire breaks the circuit and activate an alarm. The alarm can be local, or near the area where circuit is broken, or can be monitored in a distant annunciator or both. b) Interruption of a Light Beam.

This system uses a photo-electric cell or the electric eye which operates on the principles of light rays. In this system, an invisible light beam is transmitted to a special receiver. An infrared filter over the light source makes the beam invisible to intruders. The source of beam is hidden, and the rays criss-cross a room by the use of reflecting mirrors until they contact sensitive cells in receiver. This device terminates by wire to a console in the security control room. When an intruder breaks the beam, an alarm is activated. The disadvantages of photo-cell include: the beam can be bypassed by crawling underneath or climbing over it; its requirements of a rigid or outdoor installations because fog, smoke, dust, rain and other obstructions to vision when defuse enough can interrupt the light and trigger false alarms.

c)

Detection of sound and vibration.

This can be utilized effectively to safeguard enclosed areas vaults, safes, storage bins, file rooms, warehouses, and similar enclosures. Supersensitive tiny microphones are embedded in the walls, ceilings and floors of the enclosure to be protected by sound or vibrations. These microphones distributed evenly can detect sound or vibrations of sound caused by attempts to force entry into the protected area. The main advantage of this detector device is its relatively low cost and easy installation. The amplifier which monitors the sound from the microphone can be adjusted to suit the sensitivity level requirements. The obvious disadvantage is its limited application to enclosed vaults, and depositories where minimum external sound exists. It is not satisfactory where minimum external sound exists. It is not satisfactory where high ambient noise level are encountered proximate to construction sites, aircraft traffic, and vehicular movements. d) Space and Motion and Vibration.

These systems derive their operating principle usually from a physical phenomenon known as Doppler Effect. Constant sound waves in a cubicle disturbed by an object will cause change of frequency and wave motion thereby causing an alarm to trigger. e) Electromagnetic Fence

Is an electronic fence consisting of 3 to 5 strands of wire spaced from 9 to 24 inches above one another which serves an antenna, a monitor panel, and an electric circuitry. When power is put on, an electro-magnetic field is set among the wires from the top to the ground. An intruder about two feet from this filed will trigger an alarm. The fence is zoned to pinpoint areas of intrusion to a monitor located in the operation room of security. This system is suggested to be located inside the chain-link fencing to minimize nuisance alarms caused by animals, debris blown by the wind, and harmless trespassers. Security Communication System: In any plant or industrial complex, inter and intra communications is indispensable not only in security not only in security work but also in the plant operation itself. It is good management policy that security should have its own communication lines officer within the installations and to the outside. The security force needs a communication landline to call local law enforcement agencies, the fire department, ambulance, mobile patrol and other governmental agencies. Telephone is also needed to contact the agency main office or security force outposts. The following are some means of communication that can be a useful part of the protective system: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Local telephone exchange Commercial telephone service Inter-communication Two-way radios for security (base, portable, and vehicular) Security supervising system and beep-beep Paging and recall system Bull-horns or megaphones Amplifier or loud speaker system

Identification and Control:

12

Identification and control objective include precluding unauthorized entry and facilitating authorized personnel to enter specific areas, as well as preventing the introduction of material components of harmful materials, misappropriation, pilferage of installation properties and recorded classified information. Identification and control objective are achieved by: 1. 2. 3. areas; Issuing passes or badges to those authorized to enter restricted areas; Using access list; Using identification codes; Using duress code; What is Access List: An authenticated list of personnel compound or installation or part thereof. What is a Pass System: A pass or badge is issued by security for personnel to be admitted in the installation. This system precludes those visitors with escorts and personnel in the access list. The pass system is for general use and not for restricted areas like exclusive, limited and controlled areas. The following are systems recommended: 1. Single Pass or Badge System given to security allowing entry to Initially determining who has valid right in the areas; Limiting access to those persons who have a right and need to be there; Establishing procedures for positive identification of persons authorized access into

4. 5. 6. 7.

Pass is issued for permission to enter differing in specific areas by letters, numerals, or colors. For example, green backgrounds of current passes in the general area, or white pass with overprinted blue symbols for a certain specific areas. 2. Pass of Badge Exchange System

Multiple copies of passes are issued to an individual with the same photograph. The individual exchange his badge for another color or ranking at the gate. Once inside, if he needs to enter a restricted area, he exchange it for one of another color acceptable in that area. Visitor, Property, Movement, and Vehicle Control A visitor is any person not regularly employed in a plant or concern. Strict precautions are taken with visitor against pilferage, sabotage and other crimes. Plant visitors may and they can be suppliers, promoters, collectors, customers, government inspectors, contractors, job-seekers, group visitors, guided tours, and others. Passes or badge may be issued to visitors indicating area to be visited and escorts requirements. Likewise, movement of packages should be controlled, closely inspecting all incoming and outgoing packages, with inspection to vehicles. Trucks entering and leaving the area should be inspected. Trucks have been found to have special components, items placed inside the spare tire, tool boxes, and even in fake gasoline tanks. What is a Protective Lock:
13

A protective lock is defined as a mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, or electronic devised designed to prevent entry to a building, room, container or hiding place. Four General Groups of Key Locks: 1. The Warded Lock

The underlying principle is the incorporation of wards or obstructions inside the lock to prohibit a key from operating the bolt unless the key has corresponding notches cut in it so that it will pass the wards. 2. The lever Tumbler Lock

Each lever hinges on a fixed point and is held down against a stop by the pressure of a flat spring. Each lever has a cut in tit, and all the gates can be located at different places. When the proper key is inserted and turned, notches of various depths raise all the lever whatever distance is required to line up all the gates exactly opposite the fence on the bolt. When the key is turned, a portion of the key catches the bolt and slides it back. Because there is no resistance to the post entering the gate, the lock is opened. If the key is not the correct one and if even one gate does not line up to let the post slide into it, the lock cannot be opened. 3. The Disc Tumbler Lock

Also known as the wofer tumbler type, has flat metal tumblers with open center fitted into slots in a plug which is in turn fitted into a lock case. When the plug is turned, it activates a cam. The key is removable at 90 to 180 degrees and may be rotated either right or left. The disks are under spring tension forcing them partially out of the plug into recesses in the case thereby preventing the cylinder from turning. Rectangular openings in the disk tumblers are out into various longtitudinal dimensions requiring corresponding cuts in the key to position the tumblers. Proper unlocking positioning of the tumblers is accomplished when they are withdrawn from the recesses in the body of the lock to position flush with the plug, allowing the plug to turn the cam which causes the withdrawal of the bolt. 4. Pin Tumbler Lock

The pin tumbler mechanism depends for its security, on a number of round pin or tumblers operating on a cylinder. Each tumbler or pin is divided into two parts: the upper, which is flat on both, is called the driver; the bottom part called the pin is rounded or slightly pointed on the lower end to fit the grooves or cuts in the key. A coil spring above each driver constantly forces it downward. When the right key is inserted, the various depths of the cuts in the key compensate for the different lengths in the pins. The dividing points between each of the two pin segments is brought into line with. The top of the plug, allowing it to rotate in the cylinder. When the plug turns, it carries with its cam which activates the bolt and other lock mechanism. What is a Padlock: A portable and detachable lock having a pivoted or sliding hasp which posses through a staple ring, or the like and is then made fast to secured. What is a Combination Locks: Is a lock that requires manipulation of parts according to a predetermined combination code of numbers of letters. What is a Key Control: The management of keys is a plant or business organization to prevent unauthorized individual access to the keys. What is a Master Key:
14

Is a special key capable opening a stories of locks. This key is capable of opening less number of locks than the grand master. What is a Master Keying System: A system used in big installations whereby keys can open a group or groups of locks. This is possible by the use of interchangeable cylinder cores in the locks. Using locks with the same key in a facility is not master keying nor the use of a pass key is used to operate an inexpensive lock by moving it is the key hole until it catches a locking belt and unlocks the mechanism. Master keying is when a lock operates on a master key plus an individual or changes key. Master keying is made possible due to the development of interchangeable cylinder cores. In matters of seconds, keys and lock combination can be changed and this is done by the use of a control key. With this key, all the cores in a locking system can be changed rendering the existing keys not usable. Levels of Control in the Master Keying Plan: 1. One-Level Change Key

All locks operated by the change key only and the keyed different or alike or required. Each key operates its own lock only. Examples are the houses, stores, cars, warehouses. 2. Two-Levels Master Key

All levels operated by change keys and master key. Master key operates all locks generally of one building. Example: small school, apartment. 3. Three-Levels Grand Master Key

All locks operated by change key, master keys, and grand master keys. Grand master key operates all locks generally used in large buildings or a facility with several buildings. Example: office buildings, hospitals. 4. Four-Levels Great Grand Master Key

All locks operated by change key. Grand master keys and great grand master keys. Used in great or large complex system and similar to three levels. 5. Five-Levels Great Great Grand Master Key

All locks operated by change key, master key, grand master key and great grand master key , and great great grand master key. Example: big universities, complexes, large industrial complexes. Pointers for Effective Locks and Key Control: 1. Records of all keys issued and names of holders be meticulously made regardless of the size of the establishment. 2. Storage key is important. Duplicate or spare keys should be stored in a securely locked cabinet in a secure area. 3. Master key should be ensued on an absolute minimum number be issued but kept by an individual responsible for locks and keys. 4. Regular checks should be made in employees with keys issued.

5. Issuance of keys and locks should be carefully controlled, and issuance should be on a realneed basis.

15

6. Periodic re-keying should be considered as essential security safeguard just as combination of safes are changed from time to time. 7. A key depository should be provided in a big plant. Supervisors taking keys should register in registry book. What is Maison Keying: The issue of key to open the main entrance and the office. What is a Coded Lock: Type of lock can be opened by inserting a coded card in a slot in the lock, or by pushing the correct buttons on the surface of the lock. What is Electronic Lock: A type of lock that can be closed and opened remotely by electronics means. Types of Fire Protection: 1. Automatic Sprinkling System

It is a type of built-in sprinklers which works by the increase of room temperature and which automatically operates the system to put out the fire. Attached and distributed in the ceilings of the rooms, these sprinklers will go into action once a fire starts, and those that will open are those directly above the fire and water is delivered right where it is needed. Types of Spr9nkler System: 1) Wet Pipe System

The piping has water with pressure, and the water sprinkler will operate when head is opened and water will operate when head is opened and water will continue to flow until shut off. 2) Dry-pipe System

The pipes are filled with air under pressure which holds the water at the value located in a room. When sprinklers head goes into operation, air is released, trapping the dry pipe valve and allowing water to flow through the system. 2. Fire Pump

A mechanical device of supplying water which can be manual or motor- driven. These pumps are ideal when natural supplies of water are readily available like a river, lake or stream. 3. Stand Pipe

Are G.I steel or plastic pipes located inside a building from the lowest to the top floor with water under pressure for use in case of fire. Located near the standpipe is a fire hose usually enclosed in a glass box handy for use. In case of fire, the hose is screwed into the standpipe outlet and a valve is opened to release the water.

It is a fire fighting equipment which can be portable or in a cart that is used to put out fire depending on the contents to extinguish certain types of fires as class A to D. This is the most important and useful piece of fire fighting equipment in a plant, building, or facility. Classes of Fire: 1. Class A Fires

These fires results from the burning of wood, paper, textiles and other carbonaceous materials. Extinguishment of this type is by quenching and cooling. Extinguishers which have water, sand, acid, foam and the special solution of alkali methyl dust, as found in the load-stream extinguisher, should be used for this type of fire. 2. Class B Fires

Are those caused by flammable liquids like kerosene, gasoline, benzene, oil products, alcohol and other hydrocarbon derivations. This type is put out and controlled by foam, loaded-stream , carbon dioxide, dry-chemical and vaporizing liquid. If water is used here, it might even spread the flame, or explosion may ensue. 3. Class C Fires

Are those which start in live electrical wires, equipment, motors, electrical appliances and telephone switchboards. The extinguisher that should be used for such fires are carbon dioxide, drychemical and vaporizing liquid, as the soda-type can even electrocute the extinguisher holder. In case of class C fires, source of electricity should be shut off. It becomes mandatory and good practice to put fuses in the circuit so that in case of ground or short, the power will be put off by the blowing of the fuse, or if circuit breaker is used, it will trip and open circuit. 4. Class D Fires

This fire is the result of the combustion of certain metals in finely divided forms. These metals can be magnesium, potassium, powdered aluminum, zinc, sodium, titanium, lithium and zirconium. This type of fire can be put-out by GI type, meth LX, Lith X, meth L KY, dry sand and dry talc. Recognizing Fire Hazards: 1. Cigarette buts or nay other evidence of smoking in a no-smoking area.

2. Oily rags. Rags which are used around motors are particularly dangerous. The heat from the motor can easily set them afire. 3. 4. 5. All heating equipment. Any equipment which produces heat can also produce fire. Flammable boxes and papers stacked or left next to heating equipment. Open cans of gasoline, paint, paint thinner, alcohol and other flammable material.

Principles of Extinguishing Fire: 1. point. 2. Smothering or Blankering Cooling Using water or water solution, the temperature of the substance is lowered below the burning

Early surveys should be reviewed so that the current survey will determine the improvement in the former deficiencies. 5. Recommendations should be consistent with the current situations, facilities, resources available, and most of all concomitant with the organizations objectives and goals. Time-phasing of the recommendations should be also recommended especially on execution. The Security Guard Force: The key element in the security survey system of a plant or installations is the human guard. Without this human element, all the mechanical, electrical, and electronic protective aids, as well as security techniques would be worthless. It is the human guard, as a part of the security enforcement medium, who contributes the thought processes and all the human senses to the security system. The electronic device may sound the alarm, the television camera may spot the culprit, and the minicomputer may trigger the red button, but it is the guard responds and initiates the necessary action. Procedures in the Selection of Guards: The selection of the guards must be done with care and meticulousness. The guard occupies an important slot in the whole security system. Such a guard, to be effective and useful, must be physically able, mentally alert, morally responsible, reliable, and must be stable under pressure. Above all, he must be responsive to his work to a point of dedication. The Company and the Contract Guards: There are two different ways in which security guards are hired or employed. Those who are hired directly under the payroll of an employer to protect the employers property are called company guard, or in-house guards, a and they are considered employees of that company. Government guards are included in this category. Other individuals or entities would prefer to avail of the services of an outside firm providing security guards on contract basis. These firms are the private security agencies, specializing in providing trained security guards. The security guards employed under contract are employees of the agency. In the local setting, there are more contract agency guards than company or government guards. Their jobs are all basically the same, the only the difference is their employer. There are more contract guards from private security agencies hired by government entities and privately owned companies or corporations for the reasons that it is more practical, less expensive, and with better trained personnel.

Disadvantages of Company Guards 1) 2) 3) Cost more; May be required to join a guard union, and Problem of ensuring availability of back-up personnel.

Importance of the Training of Security Guards: Security organization which does not have an adequate and continuing training program for its personnel will not be able to offer efficient and reliable security services. It is not only dangerous but a criminal act to assign a guard who has not been properly indoctrinated and trained. Although the extent and type of training for guard forces will vary according to the importance, type, vulnerability,
23

size, and other factors affecting a particular plant or industrial complex, yet, there are basic subjects and skills that guards must learn before performing their assigned duties. The untrained security guard may do unnecessary harm to employees in the performance of his job. He may use his firearm while a simple knowledge in martial arts will suffice. It will require more untrained guards to perform certain tasks, to meet the same situation than utilizing trained ones. Efficient and continuing training is the effective means in improving the proficiency of guard personnel. Regardless of how careful the recruitment of guards is made, seldom will they qualify for immediate guard duty. Besides, a trained guard may require re-orientation, if not training, due to new or revised job requirements can be gapped by proper training. Saving by limiting is poor investment and a form of criminal negligence. Benefits Derived from the Training of Security Guards: 1. Good training helps provide for more flexibility and better physical protection. Fewer personnel and less time may be required for trained men to perform guard requirements. Training also helps establish systematic and uniform work habits. An effective program will help create attitudes and improve morale. 2. Training in whatever form benefits the guard to the extent that skills are upgraded which provides increased opportunities for promotion, improves better understanding of his relationship to management. Training also increases self-confidence, and ingredient needed for work reliability. 3. Training gives the supervisor better tools to do his tasks efficiently among his guards. Due to increased supervisory skills, less time is wasted and fewer mistakes made. Resulting economies are to benefit from the organization. There will be smoother relations with other agencies. A good program instills confidence which is an important asset of the guard force. The Security Supervisor: A security supervisor is charged with directing the work and observing the behavior performance of the men under his unit. The effective supervisor must posses the necessary leadership, human understanding, and job knowledge to do his work. The principal task of leadership within an organization is to ensure that the efforts of all members are estimated to capacity and effectively directed toward the primary objectives of the organization. The quality of leadership reflected in the appearance, spirit, bearing, demeanor, words, action and work of subordinates. Members of a unit under supervisorship enjoy doing their work, hence, they are proud of their organization, carry out instructions, and request cheerfully and willingly, and work indefatigably for long hours under comfortable conditions without question or complaint. In contrast, subordinates under inferior leadership are frequently dissatisfied with their jobs, dislike their duties, resent instructions and request from their superiors, and avoid accepting new responsibilities. Good leadership transforms indifferent, dissatisfied, disloyal, and inefficient personnel into loyal, agreeable, hardworking, interested, and efficient men who derived great satisfaction in the accomplishment of their assigned tasks. Goal of Security Officer: The most important role that a security officer can do is to create in each individual a sense of vigilance, alertness, careful thinking, and the ability to recognize and report all security infractions to the proper authorities and make spot corrections of minor security violations in order that remedial measures can be instituted right away. Security is an all-of-the-time job both for the individual and the security officer. The security officer must keep every member of his unit alerted to possible dangers to security. He must stimulate interest in a security program and generate the willingness on the part of every man and woman to be more careful in talking about his or her job, handling classified information, or guarding restricted areas. The individual must at all times careful, alert and ready to act. And it is the goal of a security officer. What is Republic Act No. 5487?
