Anyone over the age of 18 who uses public transport can complete an online survey (www.securestation.eu/survey.html) covering issues such as staffing levels, CCTV, lighting, public announcements, reporting of suspicious packages, time to access platforms, cost, comfort, luggage restrictions and baggage screening.
With a transition from analog to digital video continuing, there remains a crucial requirement for reliable transmission of the video signal during today's period of coexistence. With many legacy installations it has been coaxial cable handling images from a camera to monitoring, recording or both. Coaxial has its limitations, including restricted transmission distance, signal degradation over long cable runs and interference.
The first step to determining if your perimeter security plan fulfills your needs is to conduct a risk assessment and take a long, hard look at the mission of your facility and the security measures you already have in place. According to Terry Wood, PE, CPP, director of Engineering and Security Applications for Wackenhut Corp; a risk assessment is a tool for measuring the compliance of a facility with security requirements. The assessment is used to analyze a system or facility to identify vulnerabilities that could potentially result in losses of life, products or technology. The methodology behind the risk assessment is based on the interrelationships of four key factors:
Providing security in a mining environment is tough. Remote sites, a reliance on hazardous materials, limited local infrastructure and geopolitical instability are common risk factors that can make installations susceptible to malicious attack. Any security breach has the potential to endanger staff, damage the local environment and disrupt production.
Physical protection (also called physical security) consists of a variety of measures to protect nuclear facilities and material against sabotage, theft, diversion, and other malicious acts. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and its licensees use a graded approach for physical protection, consistent with the significance of the facilities or material to be protected. In so doing, the NRC establishes the regulatory requirements and assesses compliance, and licensees are responsible for providing the protection.
