Security In The Global Mining Sector
A Unique Challenge
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
Protection of Nuclear Facilities
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.
Perimeter Fence Detection System
Security Key Element
An effective perimeter fence is a key element for many outdoor site perimeters.
How the perimeter fence protects the site as well as how its performance can be monitored for intruder detection is an important aspect of the integrated perimeter security system selected and installed by the site owners.
Underwater Security Techniques
Anti-frogman Techniques
Anti-frogman techniques are security methods developed to protect watercraft, ports and installations, and other sensitive resources both in or nearby vulnerable waterways from potential threats or intrusions by frogmen or other divers.
