Inspect and confirm the proper functioning of all security equipment. This includes surveillance cameras, alarm systems, communication devices, and any other tools essential for carrying out your duties effectively. Address any malfunctions immediately to minimize security risks.

Familiarize yourself with the designated patrol route and the associated risk assessment. Understanding the potential risks and areas requiring extra attention will allow you to proactively address security concerns. Take note of any changes or updates to the patrol route or risk assessment.

Thoroughly inspect all external doors and windows to ensure they are properly secured. This includes checking for any signs of tampering or damage. Promptly report any security breaches or maintenance issues to appropriate personnel.

Keep a close eye on the CCTV cameras to detect any unusual or suspicious activity. Be vigilant and look out for any potential security threats. If any suspicious activity is observed, follow the appropriate procedures and notify the necessary authorities.

Conduct regular patrols of your assigned area to deter unwanted intrusion and detect any signs of unauthorized access. Be thorough and observant during your patrols, paying attention to any suspicious or unusual activities. Report any security incidents immediately.

Check all alarm systems to verify that they are activated and functioning correctly. Test different components of the alarm systems to ensure proper operation. Notify the appropriate personnel if any malfunctions or issues are discovered.

Remain vigilant and proactively identify any suspicious activities or individuals within your patrolled area. Pay attention to any signs of potential security breaches or threats. Promptly report any suspicious activities or persons to the relevant authorities.

In the event of a security incident or breach, conduct a thorough investigation to gather relevant information and evidence. Document your findings and share them with the appropriate individuals for further action. Maintain confidentiality throughout the investigation process.

Compile a comprehensive report outlining your daily activities and any irregularities you encountered during your shift. Include details of any security incidents, maintenance issues, or other noteworthy events. This report provides valuable insight for future security planning and decision-making.

Verify the functionality of the Access Control System and ensure all access permissions are up-to-date. Regularly check for any anomalies or unauthorized access attempts. Update the system as needed to maintain accurate records of entry and exit.

Thoroughly inspect parking areas and outdoor facilities for any signs of unauthorized access, safety hazards, or suspicious activities. Promptly address any issues or report them to the appropriate personnel for resolution.

Conduct a fire hazard assessment throughout your patrolled area. Identify and address any potential fire hazards, such as blocked fire exits, combustible materials, or malfunctioning fire suppression systems. Report any critical fire safety concerns immediately.

Ensure that all employees have safely left the building at the end of their shifts. Conduct a final sweep of the premises to verify that no one remains inside. Promptly report any discrepancies or concerns regarding employee departures.

Secure all designated locked areas within the premises. Double-check that all doors, windows, cabinets, or restricted entry points are properly locked. This ensures the integrity of restricted areas and mitigates the risk of unauthorized access.
