Assessing Security Manpower Needs for Industrial Sites
Abstract
The cost of providing security is a legitimate operational expense in any company, despite its increases in recent years. In many cases, a good security programme will inevitably pay for itself through the protection of company assets. Two case studies covering companies utilising access control systems demonstrate the means of maintaining an adequate level of security while containing costs. The application of this process, and its impact on particular organisations, will depend on the interpretation of what constitutes a mandatory activity and the amount of unplanned activities by the organisation. Only through a critical analysis of any given situation can these activities, and subsequently the amount of savings, be determined.
