Sri Lanka Security Guard study plan

List the core statutory duties of a security guard under Sri Lankan law, distinguishing powers of arrest, detention, and search from those of a police officer

Explain the legal limits on use of force, including when force may be used to defend persons or property, using at least three worked scenarios

Define key offences a guard may encounter (theft, trespass, assault, criminal intimidation) and state the correct immediate action for each

Describe the guard's duty to hand over a detained person to police without unreasonable delay, and identify what information must be recorded at handover

Outline the legal basis for searching persons, bags, and vehicles on private premises, and state what consent and signage are required

Design a layered perimeter for a sample site, naming the function of each layer from boundary to asset

Sequence visitor verification steps for a gatehouse, covering ID check, purpose of visit, host confirmation, badge issue, and escort rules

Differentiate identification, authentication, and authorisation and apply them to three access-control scenarios

Write a patrol route plan for a sample facility that includes fixed checkpoints, variable timing, and blind-spot coverage

Explain the purpose and limits of CCTV, and describe what a guard may and may not do with recorded footage

Apply observation techniques: baseline setting, anomaly recognition, and descriptive note-taking without inference

Demonstrate correct radio check-in and handover procedure during a simulated shift change

Identify the classes of fire and match the correct extinguisher type and technique to each

Sequence the correct response to a fire alarm: raise alarm, evacuate, account for persons, and meet the fire service

Map evacuation routes, assembly points, and sweep responsibilities for a sample building

Identify common occupational hazards for guards (slips, lone working, manual handling, heat, fatigue) and state one control for each

Sequence the primary survey (danger, response, airway, breathing, circulation) and demonstrate the order aloud

Describe how to recognise cardiac arrest and perform chest compressions at the correct rate and depth

Explain how to control severe bleeding, manage a burn, and position a casualty with a suspected spinal injury

State when and how to call emergency services, giving location, casualty count, and nature of injury

Apply the de-escalation ladder (presence, verbal calming, space, time, escalation) to four conflict scenarios

Demonstrate non-violent communication: open questions, reflective listening, and offering choices

Explain human rights principles that constrain crowd control, including proportionality, necessity, and non-discrimination

Describe how to manage a queue or crowd surge at an entrance without physical force, and when to withdraw and call for support

Write an incident report using the five Ws, chronological order, plain language, and no opinion or speculation

Correct five flawed report samples by removing bias, hearsay, and conclusion statements

Operate a two-way radio correctly: call signs, channel discipline, phonetic alphabet, and standard phrases

Describe the correct handling, checking, and fault-reporting routine for radios, torches, and body cameras

Complete a timed 60-question mock covering all domains, then review every wrong answer to identify the underlying rule

Revisit the two lowest-scoring domains and rewrite the relevant cheat sheet sections from memory

Rehearse a full shift scenario end to end: patrol, access control, emergency, conflict, report, and radio call

Confirm exam-day logistics: venue, ID, timing, and permitted materials
