A security guard or security officer is, usually, a privately-employed person who is employed to protect property and/or people. Usually security guards are uniformed and act to protect property by maintaining a high visibility presence and observing (either directly, through patrols, or by watching alarm systems or video cameras) for signs of crime, fire or disorder; then taking action and/or reporting any incidents to their client, employer and emergency services as appropriate. The security officer motto is to "detect, deter, observe and report." Security officers are not normally required to make arrests (but has the authority to make a citizens arrest) or otherwise act as police[..]

Before the Commercial Driver's License (CDL) program existed, drivers in many states who were licensed to drive passenger vehicles could also legally operate a tractor-trailer or bus. Licensing systems for commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) varied widely in states where they did exist. This meant that many drivers operated vehicles they may not have been qualified to drive. Also, drivers with numerous traffic convictions were able to obtain licenses from more than one state because no state-to-state tracking system existed. The Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 was established with the goal of correcting the problem by making it illegal for drivers to hold more than one license[..]

Today's fast-paced business environment requires your staff to be on the job no matter what happens, so it is essential for businesses to have a disaster recovery plan for keeping core business functions up and running during an emergency. No one can tell what will happen tomorrow: a hurricane, ice storm, blizzard or tornado could strike any time, anywhere. Your employees could be stranded at home due to a severe weather event or a sustained power outage could bring your business to a standstill. Recent years have proven that recovery from a severe weather event or other disaster, such as a terrorist attack, can be slow and have a long-lasting negative impact on your business. You need[..]

Who hasn't watched an 80's police themed movie without ever seeing a megaphone? The nifty device is definitely a star for the ages. Even in our current society in which communication is relatively silent - private conversations via mobile phone, chatting via instant messaging on a desktop computer and texting, this device is still around. It is simply one of the most versatile devices around and it remains relatively unchanged, with its roles still indispensable in things it is still very good for. It works - it is as simple as that. And no device - mobile or not can ever takes its place for a number of very good reasons. First of all, just like a fire alarm ringing, the megaphone[..]

Fires not only endangering life, but they can also be a serious cost to any business. The following few lines would suggest how to escape the risk of fires occurring and measures you can take to minimize damage when fire occurs. Here I am going to explain the legal obligations that every business has to protect people in the workplace. Essentially, fire risk assessments mean looking at all aspects of the workplace from the standpoint of fire safety: dimensions and layout, substances used or stored on the site, number of occupants, and what they do on the site, etc. Look for hazards such as combustibles, flammables, and sources of ignition, and consider who will be at risk or what damage[..]

A fire alarm is a fire safety device that is utilised to alert the public about a fire outbreak. Some fire alarms come with smoke detectors and sound off automatically while others require human operation. More often than not, a fire alarm is a part of a fire security system. In the UK, business owners have been required to employ extensive fire safety measures including installation of high quality fire alarms in their business premises. This is to ensure the protection not only of the property and the business but more importantly, the people inside the building including the employees and the customers. The main purpose of the this fire safety equipment is to make the fire known so[..]

If you are in the market for a global commercial satellite service provider of voice, video and data connectivity solutions, you're not alone. Businesses, government entities, humanitarian groups and public service departments such as fire, police and emergency responders are increasingly in the need for fixed and mobile satellite communications. Whether for backup, emergency or occasional use, satellite services provide the flexibility and reliability that traditional terrestrial communications can't compete with. As communities expand and businesses reach across physical boundaries the need for voice, internet, video and data to continue despite location or cause for disruption[..]

Preventing Seung-Hui Cho from opening fire at two different locations on the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg, Va. - taking 32 lives before his own - would have been difficult. And it would have been just as difficult on most college campuses for a few reasons. "Because of the open nature of institutions of higher education and because we are dealing with the human psychology," said Adam Garcia, director of University Police Services at the University of Nevada, Reno. "In less than a decade, we have gone from shooting situations in K-12 schools to terrorism to an adult lone wolf, who are extremely difficult to identify in advance." When it comes to violent crime, college campuses have[..]

Colleges alert notification services are widely used by higher education institutions to inform students, parents, faculty and other constituencies of important announcements and updates. While most people think that these services and systems are put in place for emergency uses, the technology is actually more often used for other purposes such as phoning alumni, or contacting students during the admission process. Colleges interested in improving communications have a choice to make in how they set up their system. They can install an inhouse system or they can hire an outside vendor who provides the service. Generally speaking, outsourcing the service is much less expensive and faster[..]

Because solvents are so widely used in industry and manufacturing, exposure to theses chemicals is a common workplace risk. Some flammable solvents produce vapors and mists that, even at room temperature, can ignite and cause a fire. Because they are heavier than air, solvent vapors hang close to the floor. They may move toward a distant ignition source such as a spark from welding, a motor, or static electricity, and then explode. If someone is smoking in the general area of a solvent leak or spill, that can be enough to set off an explosion. Solvent vapors can accumulate in confined spaces and remain there for a long time, only to cause trouble unexpectedly. Some solvent vapors are[..]

When search and rescue is needed it is often the first responders who make the biggest impact. They are the hottest on the trail, so to speak, and having the right search and rescue supplies and tools can make all the difference in their endeavors. Community Emergency Response Team (or CERT) members are often the first people out in the field to begin the search and rescue. These CERT members know the terrain for which they are trained very well and should embark on their search and rescue operation properly supplied. Reflective vests are a helpful part of the search and rescue supplies and tools. They are easily seen from a distance due to color and the reflective quality of the tape,[..]

We are all told that we need to make decisions in order to move forward. Many times a decision that a person makes can save or cost lives. How would you respond when a crisis hits you? Captain Sullenberger, the hero pilot of the Miracle on the Hudson in January 2009 was interviewed in which he described how he and his co-pilot had to make a decision in a very short time. He stated that from the time the birds hit the engines of his plane to the time he landed it in the Hudson was 208 seconds. Imagine having to make a decision that would either kill 155 people or one that will save their lives in that short of time? In 208 seconds he had to evaluate all available options before coming to[..]

Each year, Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is responsible for the deaths of 350,000+ people in the United States. To ensure the survival of a victim, it is of immense importance to administer instant CPR and defibrillation within 4 minutes of a collapse. However, with an average emergency medical services response time of 8-12 minutes, if a bystander does not assist in immediate treatment, an SCA victim will most likely die. An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) - a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses cardiac arrhythmia and treats a SCA victim through defibrillation - enables a layperson to easily treat the victim prior to the arrival of medical personnel on site. Why[..]

The specific changes of the astrological weather are not so impressive this weekend! Never the less it looks like the real weather might have some big splashes waiting for us here in Hawaii. I am a member of the CERT, the Community Emergency Response Team on the island. We have been called in to an emergency briefing later in the day in preparation of the hurricane approaching the islands. It might still slow down or turn into a different direction. This is what we are praying for! But it is good to be prepared if it doesn’t! The first thing that came to my mind was how fortunate I have been living her on this beautiful island for so many years now and how many things I have been[..]

A Category 4 tornado has just ripped through a major metropolitan area, wreaking havoc. Because of the destructive force of this storm, scores of trees have fallen, power lines dangle dangerously all around, homes and buildings are demolished, and people are injured and in dire need of help. Plus, the storm is not over. It is still on the ground, and barreling toward the next town. When emergencies like this arise, you must have a good system of communication. Notification systems should be in place so that not only can help arrive to those people in need, but so that the ones still in the path of danger can be properly warned. Thanks to a mass- messaging system of communication called[..]

It is always a good idea to be as safe as one can be within the home because, after all, the home should be the safest place for those who are living in it.

It[..]

Providing your home with high quality fire extinguishers has always been a good investment. Although at some point, you will feel that this device may be insignificant when you see it hanging on your wall and gather dust year after year. This may be the case, but once you encounter a fire emergency in your own home, you will surely realize its importance as it saves your home, belongings and even your life at that most critical moment. As fire accidents occur in the UK at an average of 45,000 every year, it is only imperative that fire safety tools such as Chubb fire extinguishers are kept inside the home to ensure that the family has a primary protection against the outbreak of fire. A[..]
