If the officer has not walked the boundary, they are not on the post yet.
A first shift needs keys or codes, a hazard list, the radio or phone tree, the toilet and tea rule, and the person who answers at 02:00. OnGuard writes that into the live brief so the officer is not inventing it at the gate.
Construction, venues and offices use the same checklist with different hazards. A crane exclusion zone is not a dance floor. Both still need a named contact.
Send photos and a PDF map with the quote if you have them. We will still walk it.
Takeaways
- Keys, hazards, comms, welfare, escalation
