Observing and reporting
 Even after a dangerous situation has been successfully averted, a security guard
must not relax yet. He should keep observing until he is sure that there are no
more problems. After a crisis, a security guard should report the incident to his
supervisor, the police or the appropriate authorities (such as the fire services in the case of a fire outbreak). This way, further steps would be taken to avert a
future recurrence.
Getting help
