DESCRIPTION OF JOB SERVICES:
Most times, minor misunderstanding/dispute between multinational companies and their host communities usually assumes unprecedented dimension and most importantly reduces man-hour-working-period. We are very optimistic that any such emergency misdemeanour must be nipped in the bud and tactically handled to avoid any embarrassment to our client; we achieve this through the following:
INDUSTRIAL SECURITY
Effective protection of lives and properties especially of the multinational companies in contemporary Nigeria scenario need to be over emphasized, and thus demand nothing short of the best in security services, which have been tested and proved to worth their rating. Our security personnel undergo routine training by our managers and, supervisors who closely monitor the personnel development.
This approach has been our unshakable commitment to security existence.
ACCESS CONTROL
Access control is a total measure taken to regulate the movement of a person in premises. The measure include the establishment of security post, the uses of passes and permits for visitors, to an establishment, provision for visitor car park, security lights and perimeter fencing. Access control becomes paramount in an establishment because it is through this that an intruder, whose activities to an establishment is inimical, frustrated are disallowed access.
This security involves infrastructural measures (fences, gates, alarm systems) and other procedures (drills, orders, instructions) taken to ensure the safety of value property items and lives.
Therefore any establishment without proper access control measure is prone to fire, bombs explosion and other threats.
While infrastructural measures include the gate, fences, walls, and other electronic devices installed to secure a place, the most common procedures are those orders, instructions and regulations that complement the infrastructural measures earlier taken to ensure security. However, the distinction between the two measures is thin but the roles they play are complementary.
It must be pointed out that the sophistication of security measures taken is not an insurance against threats; they are delayed measures to frustrate a potential intruder or to minimize his chances of success if he eventually decides to commit the crime. Our access control personnel are well trained with emphasis on visitors handling and courtesy as well as present a cooperate image of the company. This is because they are the first point of contact before access is granted to any visitor.
