We recently carried out an independent security risk assessment for a warehouse in Bloemfontein, uncovering security risks that are frequently overlooked in conventional assessments. This method ensures that effective, practical solutions can be implemented to strengthen the security of the property.

The work is done at a very minimal rate. This phenomenon occurs because salesmen deliberately use this tactic to increase sales. Their earnings depend directly on what the end user buys or subscribes to. There’s a lack of thorough research into options, and the security plan is essentially a list from the salesman’s inventory. The assessment phase’s findings do not affect these predetermined recommendations. The grading method, which is actually a direct overflow from Health & Safety, is inaccurate. Authorities rate an area of the site as low to high risk based on the possibility of a crime occurring.

The independent assessor

Focuses on the opportunity for a crime to occur and uses this methodology to analyze the property at various levels. There is also no quick checklist for conducting a Security Risk Assessment. How did they measure security at the site without conducting a full assessment? On what foundation was security and the planning thereof laid? As security risk assessors, our job is not to give up. I have to keep educating and convincing those in leadership positions, CEOs and MDs, regarding the importance of commissioning regular independent security risk assessments. Changing perceptions is difficult, but it is a challenge we must face. Not one company has been able to show me their risk assessment report in the past 19 years. Some companies mistook an occupational health and safety report for a security risk assessment. # Security Risk Assessment South Africa
