Life has changed considerably within Industrial manufacturing sites:-

• Move from single ownership to multi occupancy

• Multi national owners bringing differing approaches

• Increased levels of transient workforce

• Less direct resources protecting and managing our businesses

• Economic climate fostering increased risk taking

• Reluctance to invest in non profit generating capital

Managing security and governance processes under this changing environment is never easy

The changing environment of a large manufacturing site


DISRUPTIONDo we prepare or practice for it?

Because its not ‘rocket science’ and it will happen to someone near you

What distracts us from our core jobs?


• The time involved to manage the significant levels of impact and disruption to the business is absorbed by governance and security issues:

o Publicity, reputation, employee morale, investmento Loss of critical equipmento HSE Investigationso Group Internal Auditso Contractor Management

What impact does this potentially have


Tools of the Trade – Do your staff have the correct ‘tools’?

What do we prepare and practice for?


• Pair die in 'copper cable theft' Two men have died during a suspected burglary at a factory on a Black Country industrial estate.

Police said the men from Dudley may have been electrocuted by live copper cabling .

They said an activated fire suppression system, which released carbon dioxide, may also have caused their deaths.

• An 18-year-old from County Durham was found on fire after trying to steal live electrical cable carrying 11,000 volts, police said.The teenager, from Darlington, suffered extensive burns to his arms and head during the incident.

He was taken to Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary where his condition is described as serious.

A 19-year-old man was arrested and bailed after the incident on Saturday.

• SAFETY – of both the responder and the intruder. The responder may be a member of your staff who happens upon the intruder whilst carrying out routine work

• SECURITY – is your member of staff ,as a responder, safely equipped to manage and react to the situation

• PREPAREDNESS – train the responder and protect assets

How long would an HSE investigation take if someone was seriously injured or killed on your site?

Significant disruption caused by a ‘cash for scrap’ incident that was well organised utilising internal staff, contractors and local scrap yards

• Disruption involvedo Internal investigationso Police investigationso Group internal auditso Contractor managemento Writing of new policies and procedures

Having a healthy ‘whistle blowing policy’ – are you capable of managing the implications

What are your control measure like?

Have you reviewed them as part of your organisational change?

Don’t ever be surprised who may be involved and how well planned it may be.

The ‘inside job’



• Take some time out to consider your changing environmentWithin the site/business

External economy

• Consider the disruption element of security not just the material value

• Be in a position where you can demonstrate a process that has considered these factors and are developing mitigating strategies

Policies clearly stating company security strategy

Trained, licensed staff

• Test these mitigation measures effectively in the field Assessment, planning and testing processes

Audit and review

• Work closely with the Police, CTSA’s and your neighbours Review of information gathering

• Intelligence/Information is very powerful

What can we do about it?
