Maintain the work post (clean and tidy)

Maintaining a clean work post is important in the completion of the Security Guard’s duties. Everything at the post should have a place. There should be no clutter. Organization not only helps the guard on shift, but it also helps those relieving them. Shift Reports must be stored in chronological order to ensure accuracy and ease of finding necessary information. Shift reports are often stored in binders and these binders and reports are often stored at the particular site. The binders or file cabinets should have a label of the date range of all reports contained therein.

When working at a fixed post, there will be necessary paperwork at the site. This paperwork must be maintained according to post orders. The client must be able to access the information without having to search for it. In order to save time, ensure that all paperwork is filed properly and can be easily retrieved. A messy post does not contribute to the positive image of the Security Guard or the company. By maintaining a high level of professionalism and keeping the work area clean, neat and tidy, the guard can inspire confidence in their clients and co-workers.
