Security Surveying and Design Training

The infamous English weather did its best to damp the enthusiasm of the delegates on the latest Security Surveying and Design course, held in Goring on Thames this week. Working in both rain and sun, they spent the day doing a detailed practical survey at a working business establishment.

Their survey site, in a slightly run-down part of a local town, required them work through the full survey process from risk assessment to the final written report and management presentation. Using information gathered from the on-site inspection, environmental survey and interviews with management, they compiled an accurate risk assessment for the business and were able to judge the strengths and weaknesses of the protective system.

The site work completed, they returned to the training venue to compile the final written report, in which they offered the company an extensive range of solutions to reduce the risk levels. These recommendations and the rationale behind them were judged by the course director, Peter Horsburgh CPP, PSP who role-played the Managing Director of the client company at the final management presentation.

One delegate said ‘Having to follow the complete process showed us the pitfalls of not working to a logical system and allowed us to put into use the full range of tools we learned at the beginning of the week. Having done the survey in a training environment makes it easier for us to use these techniques in the real world’.
