Terrorism is on the increase within the United Kingdom and Western Europe. If you work in a management role that includes: Safety, Security, Facilities, and HR then it is highly likely that you will be required to provide some, if not all, input into your workplace's emergency preparedness plans. However, until now, there is a dearth of risk and workplace specific information relating to this subject matter; especially within the UK. The "Terrorism: Safety and Security Manual" has been authored specifically to address the needs of modern Safety, Security, HR, and Facilities Professionals who have direct responsibility for ensuring that their workplace has adequate Emergency Preparedness Measures in place. It contains the very latest advice and will prove to be an excellent source of reference when formulating emergency plans. It covers 22 risk specific subjects and includes everything from IED (Improvised Explosive Device) composition and placement right through to the latest tactics utilised by terrorists. It is currently the only publication of its type currently available within the UK. The manual also addresses the natural convergence between Safety and Security planning in the face of a growing threat and substantial increase in risk. Subjects covered include: -Information Assurance -Overview: Current Threats and Risks -Security Risk Assessment -Awareness -Search Techniques -Security Personnel -Fight, Flight or Freeze -Medical -Security Plan -IEDs -Suspicious Activity -Black Swan Events -Hard Target Mentality -Suicide Bombers -Common Psychological Responses to Terrorism -Training -Marauding Shooter -Vehicular Attacks -Use of intelligence -Evacuation -Communications and Liaison This publication represents the most comprehensive workplace specific publication of its kind for the UK marketplace. It also contains natural de-confliction processes within each relevant section. The author has first-hand experience of both dealing with and preventing terrorist attacks, and has drawn upon the additional expertise of 25 specialist security consultants to provide the very latest user-friendly guidance and advice. Regardless as to whether your motivation is to simply: address potential liability issues, avoid loss of reputation, avoid negative PR, meet legislative requirements, or even avoid potential litigation in the form prosecution via the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007, then this manual will prove to be a vital resource when it comes to ensuring that your workplace and workforce benefit from the maximum levels of safety, security, and protection possible. Because of the increase in VA (Vehicular Attacks) the manual now includes a risk specific guidance section on how to maximise your ability to avoid, evade and survive such an attack. This has proved to be immensely popular for many purchasers, who have struggled when offering additional safety advice to personnel who routinely commute and utilise major transportation hubs when travelling to and from their nominated workplace. There is also comprehensive and step-by-step information relating to the potential actions required if faced with an "active" or "marauding shooter" scenario, or even an assailant armed with an edged weapon - knife, axe or machete etc. Your "Terrorism: Safety and Security Manual" contains the equivalent of approximately 162 x A4 pages of information, drills, procedures, templates and assessments.
