SAFETY RISK ASSESSMENT OF TERRORIST ATTACKS WITHIN PLANNING IN PRIVATE SECURITY

Abstract

The private security personnel make a significant contribution to counter-terrorism initiatives. Covering up a large number of operational positions in the facilities, the security personnel can provide early warning and recognition of risks and threats from possible terrorist acts. In order to identify the risks, threats, vulnerabilities, and dangers of terrorist attacks, it is necessary to make a safety risk assessment before the security process begins, more precisely when the security operational plan is being compiled. The safety assessment of risks and threats is an extremely important component to enable private security staff to successfully manage the security challenges that arise and to ensure a consistently best level of protection for individuals and facilities. Safety assessment of risk and threat levels allows private security staff to plan reactive actions in a timely manner and be properly prepared if certain security events occur.
