A guard like this can't do **** on an intervention.

The thing is that we are Observe and Report Unarmed Secruity/EMTs. She can't walk more than 50 feet without gasping for breath but she can bandage a burn like nobodies business. After she injured her back lifting streatchers with a local ambulance service several years ago she spent some time working in a burn unit at an area hospital.
Nobody is gonna do anything becasue the client doesn't really care and the security company can't find replacement EMTs. Heck, It's lucky she is even wearing the uniform. She's shown up in street clothes one night for her shift saying that she had a Doctor's appointment the next morning after work. She didn't want to bother changng clothes in the restroom after her shift.

Hm.. they always told us not to bandage a burn.

Apart from looking unprofessional facial jewellery has the added bonus of offering an offender an additional way to inflict damage to your person...

[N. A. Corbier]

You can bandage a burn, but you don't use regular bandages. You use sterile burn bandages, which act as a second skin layer and protect the area from infection as well as lower the skin temp. Burn-Jel, etc.

As far as the intervention thing... Not doing an intervention is the norm, even if you are not an EMT. The concept of actually laying hands on someone is a niche in private security, because most companies and clients are not paying for that - that's something the police do because the police aren't going to get them sued when they do it.

I doubt she would ever encounter a situation where an offender would inflict damage to her on post, other than blowing the entire plant to hell while she was there.

Good point but we are do aftercare such as dressing injuries like cuts and burns when employees return to work (when we aren't sitting in the Aid Station handing out Imodium or doing pee tests on employees).
For instance, we currently have an employee who works in the melt shop here at the Steel Mill who suffered 2nd degree burns while at work. He was initially treated by the EMT/SO on duy who then transported him to the local clinic for treatment by our company doctor. Now, when that employee reports to work, the EMT/SO meets him at the beginning of his shift in the Aid Station where we redress his burns on his arm and stomach with Silveadine burn cream and nonstick dressings held in place by cling wrap. This is often repeated at the end of the shift before he returns home. Every time we do this it's logged in the medical treatment book for the company nurse to review and add to the employee's records. This per orders from the company doctor who does regular followups with the employee too. Just keep it covered to keep the dirt and other crap flying around out of his blistered and burned skin. It's pretty good to see they guy you transported for a burn a couple of weeks ago healing up a little more each time you redress him.

It was a more general comment, perhaps yet another reason to avoid having facial jewellery?

[SgtUSMC8541]

Plus no badge pinned on her shirt, non regulation color undershirt and, since that photo was taken she got a ring put in her lip like this->



It's very unprofessional but what I've become used to.

Are you sure its a ring and not a fishing hook that got stuck?

Not any worse than the big hoop earrings worn by my SO partner the past 2 nights. Just more proof that everywhere you work has different standards.

You owe me a coke, dude. You can get it to me after I finish wiping the one I was drinking off my monitor.

[ozsecuritychic]

I have the same problem with my work shirts, especially if I have to reach up high for something.
Omg I cant believe how that woman has her uniform I have my shirts nicely pressed, my boots polished and dress pants, my ties are always in good nic too. I actually take pride in my uniform, even though Im supplied with mens shirts that are too big in some areas. Im also about 100 kgs lighter than that woman too.

[ValleyOne]

She is definitely dispatcher material, LOL

[Chucky]

I'm guessing that she just finished cleaning the toilet, Sweeping the floor and taking the trash out. I would bet on a cold Ausse night she would be considered a 3 dog night warmer.

[Bern Wheaton]

If she is a EMT how does she put the rubber glove over the ring with out poking a hole through it? or does she take her time taking it off while the guy waits with the burn? just wondering.
