Roles of Organizations

As a matter of fact, security and property management personnel of public and private organizations also play crucial roles in the prevention of and response to terrorist incidents. Below are some security advices for the organizations’ consideration.

Enhance Access Control & Perimeter Security

Enhance patrol to ensure all exits (including emergency passages) are closed properly, as well as locks and security alarm systems are functioning well;
Take appropriate access control measures at both vehicular and visitors access points and keep proper logs;
Install high-resolution CCTVs with recording functions;

Strengthen Response Capabilities

Conduct regular checks/inspections on all security, firefighting systems and first aid equipment to ensure their proper functioning;
Conduct regular fire drills or emergency response exercises to ensure security/property management personnel are familiar with the environment and the relevant response plans, as well as the operation of firefighting equipment;

Reduce Security Risk

Adopt a 3R approach (Reduce, Redesign and Relocate) in vulnerable locations where suspicious objects might be placed, such as rubbish bins in public places, public lockers, free newspaper stands:
- Reduce – Reduce the number of these facilities
- Redesign – Redesign these facilities for ease of inspection (e.g. use transparent plastic bags instead of metal rubbish bins)
- Relocate – Relocate these facilities to areas covered by CCTVs
Keep common areas and exits clear with adequate lighting
