  1. 5 On Duty Risks for Security Guards As a security professional, risks and hazards are a part of the job. Each officer is well aware that at any moment an emerging incident they are engaging could turn unfavorable very quickly, and they could find themselves in the middle of the dangerous situation. It is up to each individual who has been hired to review and internalize the concepts, requirements, and standards laid out by the company. This will reduce liability, keep the officer safe, and help them stay compliant with company standards, but there are always some risks that an officer may face. Reputable Security Guard San Jose professionals have highlighted some common risks.

  2. #1: Confrontations with Patrons and Trespassers One of the most common hazards in the field of security work is the possibility that you might run into a customer that is unruly or belligerent. Any professional who has had the experience of dealing with an uncooperative patron knows the importance of keeping a calm and cool demeanor. Proper training will show the officer when they should escalate the situation to detain the citizen or a use of force.

  3. #2: Gun Safety For armed guards in San Jose, there are new levels of concerns for safety and compliance that need to be considered. This will keep the dealings with patrons a safer endeavor. If a security officer has been properly trained, they will be well equipped to avoid circumstances that lead to the accidental discharge of a firearm that can injure both the officer and any bystanders near the scene.

  4. #3: Exposure To Poisonous Chemicals An often overlooked source of danger could come from the grounds that the security officer is guarding. When working in a production setting, the officer could be exposed to manufacturing wastes or chemicals that are essential to the process. While a company may be compliant with regulations pertaining to workers in the factory itself, it may not cover the possibility of contact with a peripheral security employee.

  5. #4: Extreme Fatigue Professionals in the security industry are expected to stand, walk, and run when needed, so when those activities are paired with the reality of weather and long hours, it could add up to a case of heat exhaustion. This is especially dangerous if no one will be around for hours.

  6. #5: Driving Vehicles Another time when safety can be an issue is when the officer is inside their patrol vehicle. Unruly patrons, reckless drivers, and people fleeing the scene can do a fair amount of damage to a security transport, which could injure the officer.
