Builds on: Becoming a Security Professional
Health and Safety on Your Post
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
Guards keep others safe. But guards get hurt too: a fall on a wet floor, a back injury, a cut from a needle in a bin. This unit shows you how to spot hazards on your post and protect yourself.
Focus: look for hazards on every round, protect yourself, and report every near-miss.
