Protecting the Public and COVID-19 – A View

From The Regulator

Ian Todd, Chief Executive of the SIA provided an update on the regulator’s
response to the COVID-19 emergency. As the country enters into an
extended period of lockdown he shared his observations on how the
industry has risen to the challenges in these unprecedented times. The
current COVID-19 pandemic has presented new and unexpected challenges
on the private security industry. Private security professionals and the
industry at large have worked to ensure critical services remain open
for business, supporting their customers and continuing to operate as a
business during this crisis.

Fever Screening – Does it Have a Role to Play?

In collaboration with industry leaders in security services, G4S, this
informative CPD seminar explored fever screening in more detail. Our
panel of experts discussed how to implement a screening process, key
considerations as well as the limitations through lively debate. Taking the
necessary preventative measures to maintain staff wellbeing has never been
more important. Fever screening has quickly emerged as one possible aid
to the efforts in identifying individuals suffering from elevated temperature
– one possible virus symptom. What is it? How does it work? How could it
be deployed? What are the limitations? These are just some of the common
questions. We offered some guidance in this webinar. It’s important to issue
clarity in this area.

face of COVID-19, there has been a sudden shift in the demand for security
services—to the point where security personnel are now, most likely, the
first person you interact with when you go to grocery stores, pharmacies or
hospitals. The webinar included a panel of challenging debate, made up of
Philip Ingram MBE, Darren Carter, Marc Bannister and Rick Mounfield.
