Patrolling guards are of extreme importance as there is check on the guards from time to time on their posts. Also relieving of guards for the calls of nature and for lunch and tea as required can be managed.
The patrolling security guard will also be rotated. Each day a new security guard will be nominated for patrolling duties.
The patrolling guard will be signing diaries on each post with his time in and time out. This will enable the Security Officer and Area Managers to confirm the posts being checked frequently.
During the night hours there are two patrolling guards who may patrol either together or in separate directions starting their patrolling at the same time. On construction site night patrolling is of extreme importance and we attempt making as many rounds as possible.
During the rounds the patrolling staff will also ensure that security guards are alert on duty. However, due to sudden illness or ill health where person is found weak on duty the patrolling staff will make arrangements to relieve them from their post of duty and shall take over the post.
The patrolling guards will also function as relieving guards during the working hours. This will help maintaining continuous vigilance on the posts.
During patrolling duties strict vigilance will be kept on movement of workers and under no circumstances a visitor will be allowed to move in areas he is not concerned with.
Should the environment in the surrounding areas turns adverse, deployment of a gunman for the patrolling in the night as this carries a very important psychological deterrent on the minds of the miscreants.
