What is Secured Property Group's approach to staff working in potentially dangerous location?

Before we accept any contracts, we carry out a risk assessment of the location and situation. If there is any risk of a hostile scenario developing, outside of the normal security industry scenario, we will not accept the contract. If there is insufficient shelter, washroom/break facilities or communications means available, we will not accept the contract. Our team members are our number one priority.
Do you provide or cover the cost of transport to and from work site?

Under normal circumstances the cost of transport is shouldered by the team member. However, if a situation developed where normal transit options were not available, we will do our best to provide alternative options including taxis or ridesharing.
