What are the duties of the guard? Official duties, duties of the guard and responsibility

The profession of a guard today is quite popular. And all because today more and more shops and shopping centers are opening in which it is necessary to provide at a proper level the safety of both employees and customers, as well as goods and money. In addition, the services of security guards are constantly in need of factories, various municipal institutions and a host of other facilities. It should be noted that some directors and managers are trying to save on security, as a result of which they neglect the services of a private security guard or security company. However, quite often after a certain time their opinion changes radically. As a rule, this happens after a couple of hard-hitting incidents. Avoid these troubles and ensure the safety of a particular object will help hire so-called security. We offer today in detail to find out what is the duty of the guard.

Features of the profession

If you look at an explanatory dictionary, you can find out that the guard is the person who guards something or someone. But the view that this employee is only engaged in protection is a little erroneous, because this profession includes many more important functions.

So, first of all, in any company or store, the guard is the "face" of the institution. After all, a visitor or a client, going into the office, sees the guard first. Therefore, its task, among other things, is to create a favorable impression of the client.

Secondly, the guard should orient himself in the premise entrusted to him better than other employees. After all, in case of an emergency situation, he will be responsible for the evacuation of visitors and staff.

Third, this profession is more intellectual than physical. So, quite often, as they say, the security guard should not be used more than once or twice a year. Most of the work of such employees is reduced to monitoring the situation and strict control.

Fourthly, the guard must have a competent speech to resolve the maturing conflict with words.

The history of the profession

Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the policeman acted as a security guard. Only after the adoption of the law "On Cooperation in the USSR" on 25.05.1988 began to appear the first organizations that carry out security activities. So, the first detective bureau under the name "Alex" was registered in Leningrad in 1989. Here everyone was offered to use the services of private security guards.

Officially, the origin of the profession occurred in 1992, when the law "On Private Detective and Security Activities in Russia" was passed. Today, throughout our country there are a lot of private security companies (PSCs) that offer security services to both the client personally and for the organization as a whole.

Guard duties

When employing a security guard, each employee should familiarize themselves with the job description and sign it. The duties of a guard on each site may be slightly different. But most of the requirements for such an employee are standard. So, the guard has the following duties:

   Response immediately informs the head of the guard.

Functional duties are made directly for each employee, depending on the type of protected facility. They include the following items:

1. The guard must know the established access mode in the protected area. Also, he should be informed about the type of passes that are used on the territory entrusted to him.
2. In accordance with the instructions, the employee must check the legality of the removal of items from the protected area.

The security officer is responsible for:

1. Failure to perform official and functional duties, which were prescribed in the instruction when the object is being protected.
2. Any offenses that were committed during the performance of his duties.
3. Material damage, which was caused by the guards.

General requirements for the guard

With the spread of this profession, the requirements for people who want to settle into a security company have become tougher. On the profession, now you need to study and take the appropriate exams, which is taken by the examination board of the GUVD of the Russian Federation. She checks the theoretical knowledge of applicants, as well as the level of their shooting training.

The trained citizen is given a special certificate, a kind of analogue of the diploma. Each certificate has a series and number. You can get it only by submitting the following package of documents:

3. A photocopy of the passport.
4. Medical conclusion after passing the appropriate commission.
5. A photocopy of the issued certificate proving the passage of special professional training.
6. A document that confirms the availability of the qualification awarded.

Private security guard

The duties of the private guard practically do not differ from other duties of the employees working in the security service. All instructions are written in the legislative and approved local acts.

The duties of a private guard are as follows:

1. He must regularly undergo appropriate medical examination. Due to the fact that a security officer can often be exposed to dangerous conditions in a protected area, he must constantly monitor his health in order to prevent the occurrence of various occupational diseases. Also, the guard must be tested for professional suitability for work in the security service. Usually the test is reduced to the ability to use firearms and other means of self-defense.
2. A private security guard must comply with all conditions of the employment contract.
3. The employee must comply with the requirements for labor protection.

All the duties of a security guard are prescribed in the employment contract when applying for a job.

Security guard store

Today, almost at any outlet, you can meet at the entrance of the guard. The official duties of the store security guard include compliance with security requirements, which are prescribed in job descriptions. Also, the instructions may include general provisions for the work of security personnel.

The main duties of the security guard in the store are to monitor the entry into the room and the actions inside it of all visitors. There is some nuance here. On the one hand, the employee must monitor the behavior of potential buyers, and if they behave defiantly, do not let in the premises. On the other hand, the guard does not have the right not to let people into a public place. If, nevertheless, the security officer allowed inadequate people to enter, then he must be extremely attentive to their behavior.

Also, the duty of the guard in the store includes correct communication with customers in the event of a conflict situation. A security officer should not tone up, be rude or use force against a client. He can isolate the conflict buyer only if he notices the threat to the life and health of other visitors and store personnel.

Security guard in the supermarket

Work in the security service in the supermarket is a bit more complicated than in the store. Here, visitors have the opportunity to steal from this shelf this or that product. It is worth noting that the guard has no right to demand from the suspect in theft of the buyer to show the contents of his bag or pockets. Also at the entrance the employee can not require you to leave bags and bags in a special storage room. The duties of a security guard in a supermarket include only detaining a suspect in theft prior to the arrival of the police. He can hold the buyer in the office, but if he does not agree, then the security officer can not force him. Unfortunately, such a situation is often found and practiced in supermarkets only because citizens do not know about their rights.

6 digit with security guard

Any security officer, after training and studying, gets a discharge. There are three of them: the guard of the 4th, 5th and 6th level. Checking and retraining for advanced training takes place every 5 years. Obligatory condition for obtaining the 6th (highest) category is the availability of work experience with the qualification "5th category" for at least a year. The duties of the 6th category guard include all the same provisions as in the 4th and 5th categories. So, the employee must protect the premises and territory entrusted to him, as well as the property in the process of transportation, if he was presented for protection. Obligations of a security guard of the 6th category differ by the following condition: in case of danger or theft, the employee may apply permitted civil or service weapons.

Security Controller

Today, almost any supermarket can be found at the controller's exit. He performs the same basic functions of the guard, but with little digressions.
