g'day everyone,
I am a security officer (by Title) at the local hospital here in Darwin Northern Territory (Croc Dundee country).
In my job (like many others) is a broad scope of jobs rolled into one. We cover an total area of about 120 acres and 60 odd buidlings. We have a total of 2 officers per 8 hour shift. Our jobs entail everything from access control, incident response, patrolling, key systems, etc.
Primarilly who I stubbled on this site was to gather information which I could relate to my work area and hopefully implement some of those intitiatives into our workplace. So far though the news and the forums I have found a wealth of information and now can also see that My workplace is not the only place with simular predicuments.
Our role incudes reception, incident controller, mediator, patient care assistant, nurse/doctor assistant, maintenance person just for starters.
At Work here, security officers only tools are a radio, pager and a set of keys. Unlike some of you. But our best weapon like most of yours is our mouth and in most cases here that saves the bacon for all parties, with us being the mediator.
It has been great to find a site dedicated to security, not only my area, healthcare, but all areas of security. to see not only healthcare but all issues in our profession.
