How Soon Can A Security Guard Company In Vancouver Start Service?

Ultimate questions that will answer your security guard questions

Is the company registered with Worksafe?

The WorkSafe premium is dedicated to promoting workplace health and safety for the workers and employers of British Columbia. In the event of work-related injuries or diseases, WorkSafeBC works with the affected parties to provide return-to-work rehabilitation, compensation, health care benefits, and a range of other services. Its a premium that companies pay by law to protect the guards while on site. Therefore, ask the security company if they are complying to this premium.

Are you guards insured?

You should make sure to ask the security company how much insurance they have. There are various insurance levels. Insurance is an expensive component for the business, so not all companies have it. Some companies are not insured, other's have 2.5 Million, and Arrow Security has $5 Million.

This is something you'll want to investigate before hiring a company. Make sure they have the documentation to back up their claims.

Are daily reports provided?

There are two common daily reports. A daily patrol report and an incident report.

The patrol report shows everything is scanned and secured on the premises. You can have this report to be collected on every hour, therefore you have a clear understanding of the security of the site. Incident reports are what the guard would fill out when a particular incident happens.

Its important to have this daily report, so make sure your security company can provide this.

Do the guards speak English fluently?

This is a crucial part of your decision process because lets assume there's an incident on your property, you need to make sure the guard on site can speak with the tenants, the authorities and anyone else they come in contact with.

Always be sure to make sure your guard speaks the language you require for optimal resolution and dispute management while on site.

Do we have to sign a contract?

Some companies will have contracts while others will not. Its important that you first have a good feeling with the management of the security company. Make sure you get a feeling of commitment without a contract, and then if you require a contract its added assurance on top.

Arrow Security for one, is completely client driven, so if you want one, they will provide it. And if you don't, that's fine as well.

Are your guards uniformed?

Uniforms are great for visibility to all those around the site. When the guards are well uniformed, it gives the impression of presence and that someone is in charge. Ask yourself if the uniforms are professional and meet the visual requirements of your needs.

Some companies have one set of uniforms and others have multiple sets. Arrow Security for example has three kinds of uniforms.

Blazers

Bomber-style Blue Jacket

High Visibility Yellow

And they even have experience in doing undercover plain clothing. Each different uniform is suitable for different environments. Some are good for security concierge's while others are good outside.

What kind of trainings do your guards have?

You should always ask what kind and where the guards were trained. In BC, the security training is approved by the solicitor generals office in Victoria. On another note, its important to also ask about on-site training as well. Each site will require different training, and its important to make sure your security company does a thorough job of this.

What is the rate?

There are a number of factors a security company should know before the quote a project. Some of them should include:

An understanding of why you need security

Where you are located

Where the job site is located

What is the nature of the job

All the factors are important. If a company provides a blanket quote without understanding your needs, they probably will not provide the best service to your needs.

How soon can you start?

If you need a job to start immediately, most companies will provide a guard right away. However its important that the right guard is selected for the project. So ask the company if they can provide a guard quickly, but more importantly, will they reevaluate the project needs and provide a guard that is the best match for the site.

Did anyone see a truck that almost hit me on Lake and Barrington in Hanover Park, IL on Feb.10, 2009 at 9a.m.?

I was in a red Blazer. I was turning left on a green left arrow. I was in the middle of the intersection when I glanced to me left and there was a semi truck headed at me full force. He was obviously not paying attention and could have killed me and the driver to my right who was making a left turn also. Did anyone see? I had to pull over to calm down. I didn't get the name of the truck company or anything. I would know the truck if i saw it again though. I am surprised he didn't hit the end of my Blazer.

I did see that. I didn't know it was you.
