We currently provide security to leading institutions in the residential, commercial, industrial and retail sectors. RECRUITING:
NAF adopts the policy of contract labour and recruitment. Literacy is a prerequisite and prior to employment every potential employee is subjected to a thorough interview to ensure suitability in terms of intelligence, bearing and appearance. Suitable candidates are then criminally and politically vetted by the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority. People are employed only once all previous work references have been checked. In the event of guard absenteeism, a suitable replacement is provided without leaving the client’s premises uncovered and on site training is performed by our team of area supervisors. Finally, the supervisors themselves are checked by the management to ensure that the highest service standards are complied with at all times. TRAINING:
In the past, the function of security training was generally restricted to the protection of company property against traditional crimes. Security was seen as irritation, or a decorative misinformed figure usually incapable of anything outside the simplest of door gazing routines. In recent years the situation has changed dramatically. Our environment is troubled by a multiplicity of new and different risks which pose greater threats to the economy of the country, health, wellbeing and safety of people. Subsequently security is accepted more than ever as an essential business discipline. Demands from the business and public sectors has led to the widening of the security training field to an unprecedented level in the local security industry and to the professionalization of the security function. Courses are set out to discipline and groom security officers to supply the best service under all circumstances. COURSE CONTENT:
Codes of discipline; Duties of a Security Guard; General Code of Conduct,
Behaviour and Attitude; Access Control; Patrolling and Crime Detection; Communication; Strike Action and Reaction; Safety Signs; Fire Fighting and Prevention; Site Checking; Company documentation; Dog Training; Firearm Training; Emergency Proced
ON SITE TRAINING:
No training would be complete without practical on-site training, where guards are exposed to the “real thing”. Regular evaluations and refresher courses are conducted randomly and monthly. This is done through visiting the site at scheduled intervals. On-site training also enables guards to carry out specific tasks in specialized environs. PARADING AND POSTING:
Guards are usually paraded and inspected prior to each shift to ensure that they are sober and adequately equipped to perform the duties expected of them. Following the inspection parade, each man reports to a duty driver (or supervisor) for further scrutiny to ensure every guard is delivered as required. SUPERVISION:
In the often lonely world of Security, it is important that staff is given visible and active support and backing. The quality of a Guard’s work and morale will only be maintained at a consistently high level if he is provided with adequate and skilled supervision and can rely on management support, with further access to a senior member of staff in time of need. Our supervisory goals include the regular and unprepared visiting of guards thereby ensuring they are alert. In addition managers and director carry out on-going visits to each site to advise on all aspects of Security
