Where we provide security officers at companies in the energy sector our stated mission at these facilities is as follows:
“Security Officers are responsible for providing, maintaining and performing all necessary security functions in accordance with the Energy Services Security Program. This includes protecting energy facilities against sabotage of equipment and theft of materials, controlling access, determining the extent of the threatening situations, assessing the extent of such threats, summoning reinforcements and exerting force to prevent or delay malicious acts.”
We recognize the importance that Occupational Health and Safety plays in today’s workplace, not only for employees of the customer but also for our employees working on customer sites. As a result part of our induction training for all security officers focuses on Occupational Safety and Health and in the preparation of Assignment Instructions safety and health issues are addressed.

What is ISO 9001, ISO 18788 and ANSI/ASIS PSC-1?
ISO 9001 is defined as the international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS). Organizations use the standard to demonstrate the ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements.
ISO 18788:2015 provides a framework for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving the management of security operations. It provides the principles and requirements for a security operations management system (SOMS).

ANSI/ASIS PSC.1-2012. is a management standard for quality of private security company operations. The standard seeks to operationalise the International Code of Conduct (ICoC) within a formal structure familiar to businesses.

It incorporates elements of the Montreux Document.

Manufacturing Facilities usually involve perimeter protection and access control through the use of hardened portal access control stations, patrols (vehicle and foot), surveillance from alarm stations, armed response to an assessment of alarms, and engagement of adversaries under deadly force authorities and constraints. Our electronic security division has implemented security systems at many of the manufacturing facilities in Trinidad.
While the primary concern of a manufacturing facility will be the products that it manufactures, it also has a concern for the security of its information infrastructure.

We work with companies to help them ensure that their information systems are secure.
