Writing Post Orders and Site Instructions
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
Post orders are the written instructions for a post. A guard alone at 3 a.m. has nobody to ask. The post orders must answer the question for them. If the orders are long, unclear or out of date, the guard will guess. Guesses cause incidents.
Focus: write orders that a tired guard can read, understand and follow in one minute.
Learning objectives
- Explain what a good set of post orders contains.
- Write an order that is short, plain and about one subject.
- Make orders work for guards who read slowly or speak another language.
- Keep one current set of orders, and review it at the right times.
- Test whether guards really understand their orders.
