Rosters, Fatigue and Welfare
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
A tired guard is a weak guard. Long hours, back-to-back shifts, heat and no rest make guards slow, careless and sometimes asleep on post. Most of this is caused by how the work is planned. You can change that.
Focus: plan rosters that give guards real rest, rotate dull duties, look after basic needs, and know the main labour rules.
