Builds on: Workplace Safety: Asset Types, Incidents and Crowds
First on Scene: Notes, Evidence and Witnesses
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
When something goes wrong, a guard is often first on the scene. What you see, write and protect in the first minutes may later help the police and the courts find the truth.
Focus: you are a careful witness, not a detective. Write what you saw and did, protect the scene, and leave the investigation to the police.
Learning objectives
- Explain the guard's four jobs at an incident: observe, record, protect, report.
- Keep pocket notes and log entries that are clear, timed and honest.
- Protect a scene and the evidence in it, including CCTV and photos.
- Handle witnesses correctly, and stay safe around blood and sharp objects.
