Security Guard

A security guard's primary responsibilities include maintaining safety, controlling access, and deterring crime. Guards actively patrol premises, monitor surveillance systems, and act as first responders during emergencies. They also draft incident reports and enforce facility rules.

The core duties of professional security personnel are structured around these key areas:

1. Access Control and Visitor Management

• Verifying credentials of employees, contractors, and guests at entry points.
• Issuing visitor passes and maintaining digital or physical entry/exit logs.
• Inspecting incoming and outgoing deliveries or vehicles. [1, 2]

2. Surveillance and Patrols

• Actively monitoring CCTV systems to detect suspicious behavior.
• Conducting regular interior and exterior foot or vehicle patrols.
• Inspecting physical security measures like locks, fences, and lighting.

3. Emergency Response

• Assessing threats quickly (e.g., medical crises, fires, security breaches).
• Coordinating with local emergency services and first responders.
• Guiding staff and visitors during building evacuations.

4. Incident Detection and Reporting

• Documenting incidents, accidents, and unusual activities thoroughly for legal and insurance purposes.
• Identifying safety hazards (e.g., blocked fire exits, faulty equipment) and reporting them for quick resolution
