Security triad
Confidentiality, integrity and availability: information and assets must be kept secret, unaltered and accessible when needed.
Risk formula
Risk equals threat multiplied by vulnerability multiplied by impact; controls reduce vulnerability or limit impact.
Layered defence
Multiple barriers such as perimeter, building, internal zones and asset level, so an intruder must defeat each layer in turn.
Deterrence and detection
Deterrence discourages an intruder; detection reveals the attempt; delay and response must follow detection within the delay time.
Private guard powers
A private security guard has the powers of an ordinary citizen, not police powers, and must act within the law.
Proportional force
Force must be lawful, necessary and proportional to the threat, and must stop as soon as the threat ends.
Confidentiality duty
Guards must not disclose client information, incident details or personal data to outsiders, media or unauthorised staff.
Access control steps
Identify the person, verify identity, authorise entry and record the event; all four steps are required for every entry.
Tailgating
An unauthorised person following an authorised person through a door; challenge politely and log the event.
Random patrol
Patrols at unpredictable times and routes, so intruders cannot observe a pattern and plan around it.
Fire tetrahedron
Fuel, oxygen, heat and chemical chain reaction; removing any one element stops or prevents the fire.
Fire classes
A solids, B flammable liquids, C gases, D metals, F cooking oils; electrical fires need non-conductive agents.
PASS technique
Pull the pin, aim at the base of the fire, squeeze the handle and sweep side to side until the fire is out.
Muster point rule
After evacuation, assemble at the designated point for roll call; never re-enter the building until declared safe.
DRSABCD
Danger, Response, Send for help, Airway, Breathing, CPR, Defibrillation: the basic life support sequence.
CPR compression rate
Compress the centre of the chest 5 to 6 centimetres deep at 100 to 120 per minute, ratio 30:2 with breaths.
AED use
Attach pads, follow voice prompts, do not touch the casualty during analysis or shock, resume CPR immediately after.
Severe bleeding control
Apply direct pressure with a dressing, elevate if possible and add more dressings on top; never remove soaked ones.
Hierarchy of controls
Eliminate, substitute, engineering controls, administrative controls, then PPE, which protects only the wearer.
PPE by hazard
Helmet for head impact, eye protection for particles, gloves for cuts, hearing protection for noise, respirator for dust.
Safety sign colours
Red means prohibition or fire equipment, yellow warning, blue mandatory action, green safe condition or escape route.
Disaster cycle
Mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery; preparedness shortens response time and reduces losses.
Bomb threat response
Stay calm, note exact words, background sounds, caller's voice and time; do not use radios near a suspected device.
Earthquake response
Drop, cover and hold on during shaking; afterwards evacuate using stairs and expect aftershocks.
Incident report content
Date, time, location, persons, what happened, action taken, witnesses and signature, written factually and chronologically.
Radio protocol
Identify yourself, state location, describe the situation and request action, using short plain-language transmissions.
Chain of custody
A record of who handled evidence, when and why, kept unbroken so the evidence remains admissible and credible.
Citizen's arrest
Arrest for a witnessed offence using minimum force, then hand the person to police promptly and record the legal basis.
De-escalation
Calm tone, open posture, safe distance, active listening and offering choices to reduce conflict without force.
Human rights in security
Right to life, liberty, dignity, privacy and freedom from discrimination, applied to suspects, staff and visitors alike.
