LINK TO: Security briefing from a former British Army
Officer in We’ve spoken to a number of security gurus.
Five pointers from “Shaft”: *ONLY YOU are responsible for your
safety. Your actions will determine your future. *HEALTH - People working under
pressure must keep themselves in excellent physical condition. You must allow
time for relaxation, even if this means putting off important work. Get
regular periods of leave because the physical affects the mental. *CONDUCT - Avoid behaviour likely to
arouse suspicion. Cameras, binoculars and tape recorders should be used with
discretion and only after the necessary permission has been granted. *OFFICIAL PROPERTY - When faced with
an attacker whose main purpose seems to be looting rather than physical harm,
DO NOT PUT THE LIVES of the staff in jeopardy over protecting organization
equipment. *KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN - If there is danger
avoid the instinct to see what it is going on, do not expose yourself and do
not move unless you’re going from a place of greater danger to a place of
less danger.
