PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE INDUSTRY NeWS

Showcasing the significant contribution our industry makes to the Australian economy

THE MAGAZINE FOR SECURITY PROFESSIONALS Editorial and Advertising

A

fter more than a decade, the Security 2014 Exhibition and Conference returns to Melbourne in early June. Judging by the strong response from exhibitors, the long awaited return has been well received.This year’s event will run from the 4-6th June at the Melbourne Exhibition & Convention Centre.

It is now nearly 30 years since a small group of ASIAL industry representatives organised the first industry exhibition. It is pleasing to see that the event continues to go from strength to strength and provide an opportunity for the industry to showcase the impressive array of products and services it offers.Through the ongoing partnership between Diversified Communications Australia and ASIAL, the Association continues to play a key role in helping to showcase the industry’s capabilities.

This year’s expanded exhibition floor space and outstanding conference program provides an excellent opportunity to view the latest security technologies, hear from internationally renowned experts, as well as network and socialise with industry colleagues from across the country.

Another important industry event I would like to bring your attention to is the 19th Annual Australian Security Industry Awards for Excellence to be held in Sydney on the 23rd October 2014. Our industry performs an increasingly important role in the Australian economy and it is important that this is recognised through awards programs such as this.

Nominations are now open for the awards, so I urge you to consider lodging an application. Further details are available on page 28 and through the ASIAL web site.

Later this year ASIAL’s board elections will be conducted by the Australian Electoral Commission. Members will be notified in due course by the AEC about

10 JUNE 2014 10 //SECURITY //SECURITYINSIDER INSIDER JUNE 2014

arrangements for the election.This process allows for every Duly Authorised Representative of a financial corporate member the opportunity to submit a postal vote.

In my previous President’s Message, I wrote about the importance of good governance practices. Failure to do the right thing more often than not will result in negative consequences for your organisation.

As an Association ASIAL actively enforces its Professional Code of Conduct, a position matched by our actions.The ASIAL Board’s recent decision to expel Hootspah Pty Limited from its membership and to impose a $120,000 financial sanction and specific compliance requirements on the Kings Security Group highlights this.The continuation of the Kings Security Group’s ASIAL membership was conditional on accepting and complying with payment of the sanction and meeting specific compliance requirements.The company advised that it was unable to maintain its membership as required by the ASIAL Board, and as a result their ASIAL membership was relinquished.

Whilst it is important to learn from the mistakes of others, it is equally as important to understand that compliance is not a dirty word. For our industry to grow and flourish, it is vital that we develop a stronger culture of compliance.

Finally, I look forward to seeing many of you at Security 2014 in Melbourne or later in the year at the 2014 Australian Security Industry Awards for Excellence.

SECURITY EXHIBITION AND CONFERENCE 2014: Key insights into security market growth and technology innovations While the security market continues to be recognised as a growth market globally, this year’s ASIAL Conference at the Security Exhibition and Conference comes at an important time for local industry professionals.

The ASIAL Conference program, featuring a renowned panel of both local and international security industry experts offers Australian professionals key insights to evolving their market intelligence.

From security professionals, installers and integrators to end users responsible for sourcing the latest products, services and technologies, the ASIAL Conference is the essential

platform to connect with the best in the industry to discuss current and emerging issues, the best new product innovations as well as future trends.

“Recent reports show that it is a pivotal time in the security industry, as we are witnessing strong and continued growth in the security market both locally and internationally,” Exhibition Manager, Kylie McRorie, said.

“In a report by Gartner Inc. in 2013, analysts forecasted that the worldwide security technology services market will grow to more than $86 billion in 2016, as companies continue to expand the technologies they use to improve their overall security.

“As the security world experiences such rapid growth, it is imperative security industry professionals attend events like the Security Exhibition and Conference for their own development and business’ growth,” Ms McRorie said.

The world-class conference program will feature presentations from: • Mike Howard, Chief Security

Officer, Microsoft • Blake Kozak, Research

Senior Research Analyst, IHS • Ted Pretty, Managing

Director and CEO at Hills

Holdings, on the “The future

of security in Australia”;

“Analysts forecasted that the worldwide security technology services market will grow to more than $86 billion in 2016.”

NBN PLUG BENCH REQUIREMENTS The NBN Co is keen for industry to test the interoperability of security devices with a range of phone and internet services provided over the NBN. This includes testing legacy services devices such as security and medical alarm systems.

For this reason NBN Co has engaged Enex TestLab, a third party provider to establish the NBN Plug Bench facility.

Testing is typically done by alarm panel manufacturers, distributors, monitoring centres and installation companies so they can reach a view as to whether their alarm systems will work on a range of phone and internet services provided over the NBN.

NBN Co is not involved in the testing that occurs at the NBN Plug Bench, and does not warrant or certify the interoperability of the alarm systems or services of the testing participants.

One key objective of the interoperability testing is for industry to share information with end users so thy can make well informed choices about which services over the NBN will support their alarm systems.

Terms and Conditions User of the Plug Bench facility must not promote market or otherwise make any representation that the devices tested has been: • Certified or accredited by

Enex TestLab or NBN Co or • Has been tested in the facility The following is a summary of what alarm service providers can and cannot say about their participation at the NBN Plug Bench.

Cannot Say

Can Say

Why

We have tested our alarm devices at the NBN Plug Bench.

We have tested our alarm devices with a range of phone and internet services provided over the NBN.

The NBN Plug Bench User Booking Access Terms do not permit references to testing in or at the “NBN Plug Bench” facility.

Our devices are certified for use on the NBN.

Our devices have been shown to work with a range of phone and internet services provided over the NBN. We can provide specific recommendations on which phone or internet services will work with your alarm device.

The NBN Plug Bench User Booking and Access Terms prohibit participants from representing that devices are accredited or certified by NBN Co or Enex TestLab.

(Device type) will work on the NBN. (Device type) is certified for use on the NBN. The NBN is certified for use with (device type).

NBN Co has certified that (device type) works on the NBN. Our devices are NBN Ready.

NBN Co is not actively involved in any testing.

Any representation that NBN Co has certified or accredited devices is likely to be misleading or deceptive conduct in breach of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010.

It is not possible to conclusively state that any device is compatible with the NBN. NBN Co provides a wholesale layer 2 bitstream to the Service Providers who then run their retail services over the top to end users.This means that the interoperability of various devices with services over the NBN will differ from Service Provider to Service Provider.

The only valid assurance that can be made is that a particular device has been successfully tested with a particular Service Provider’s service over the NBN.

ASIAL Board Elections The Australian Electoral Commission has provided ASIAL with an election timetable for the upcoming Board elections. Among the key dates to note include: • Close of voting roll:

2 July 2014 • Opening of nominations:

1 August 2014 • Close of nominations:

22 August 2014 • Postal ballot opens:

1 October 2014 • Postal ballot closes:

22 October 2014 The Scrutiny of ballot papers

will be conducted at the office of the Returning Officer on Thursday, 23 October 2014 at 10:00am.

Federal Government signals major change to NBN rollout strategy The NBN has completed a strategic review that has recommended adoption of a MultiTechnology mix using existing broadband access networks.

In April the NBN Co released the initial proposed product construct for the NBN ‘Fibre-tothe-Node’ (FTTN) and ‘Fibre-to-theBuilding’ (FTTB) product variants.

In releasing the document, the NBN Co sought industry feedback on important FTTN/B product concepts such as speed tiers, voice, installation, migration. The document proposes a high-level FTTN/B product construct, as well as asking a number of questions of industry in relation to what is being proposed.

The proposed shift in delivering the NBN will have a significant impact on the electronic security and medical alarm sectors.

NT licensing commission reforms The NT Government has written

ADVERTORIAL CONTRACTORS KEEPING COSTS UNDER SURVEILLANCE WITH SIMPRO ENTERPRISE SECURITY contractors throughout Australia are turning to proven business management system simPRO Enterprise to boost their efficiency and profits.

The Australian developed software system automates the entire operational workflow of the company freeing owners to work on developing the business instead of getting bogged down in details of scheduling and invoicing.

Thousands of security industry professionals are expected to stop by the simPRO Enterprise booth next month when the program is showcased at the Australian Security Industry Association Limited (ASIAL)’s Security 2014 Conference in Melbourne from June 46.

As part of its commitment to work with the security industry, simPRO is offering ASIAL members who are not already using simPRO 20 per cent off the initial investment price of its Enterprise software and 10 per cent off monthly ongoing costs for the life of their ASIAL membership. simPRO CEO Brad Couper said the security industry had embraced simPRO Enterprise over the past few years because it was tailor made to help contracting

16 //SECURITY INSIDER JUNE 2014

businesses with mobile units.

“Our software is a world leader in helping contractors to schedule their work and streamline their operations from the first client contact right through to invoicing,” Mr Couper said. “simPRO Enterprise has helped businesses manage their systems more effectively so they have more time to focus on the growth and development of their company instead of running themselves ragged trying to keep up with day to day operations.” simPRO Enterprise provides simple estimating, invoicing, scheduling and project management services, while its sister program simPRO Connect enables staff in the field to update times, materials and details used for each job and to attach photos to client files, using smartphones or tablets.

New jobs and quotes can even be created by mobile security officers on the spot.

David Guthrie, Managing Director and owner of Brisbane security company Blake Systems, said he has been using simPRO Enterprise for more than five years to manage his business and has found it to be an indispensable tool. “simPRO Enterprise is at the heart of our business at Blake Systems and fundamental to the delivery of our vision, goals, processes and performances,” Mr Guthrie said.

“As a provider of advanced Integrated Security Management Technologies to government and private enterprise, we

rely on constant innovation to maintain our effectiveness.” “simPRO has supported our business growth for more than five years and its software technology developments will be a key driver and support to our business development and prosperity.”

The simPRO Enterprise system is job centric meaning it can instantly provide a snap shot of all a businesses’ operational processes – estimating, scheduling, project management, purchasing, catalogues and invoicing in one seamless package.

This lets owners easily control materials and labour costs and minimise administration time. By proactively controlling materials and labour costs, margin erosion can be avoided making the business more profitable and enjoyable.

Enterprise also integrates with many wholesaler catalogues and price lists so when creating estimates and tracking job costs, the staff can use “actual” material costs.

Established in 2002, simPRO Software is a Brisbane based self funded software company. simPRO Software, with operations in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, is the global leader in job management software for the services and contracting sector to improve productivity and profitability in the businesses. Clients range from small contracting businesses to midsized business through to large enterprises with thousands of staff.

to ASIAL advising that legislation is currently being drafted to establish a new administrative decision making framework to create a more efficient licensing system. It is envisaged the change will reduce the time involved in the consideration of licensing matters.

Among the key changes include that the NT licensing Commission Act will be repealed and replaced with the Licensing Act and the Licensing Authority will replace the NT Licensing Commission as the decision maker for applications and licences made under the Private Security Act. It is envisaged that the new framework will create a more efficient licensing scheme which will reduce the time involved in the consideration of licensing matters.

The cost to business will also be reduced as protracted hearings will no longer be held.

QLD – Best practice for safety in licensed venues Following industry consultation, The Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation has issued a best practice guide for safety in licensed premises.

The Guide - Towards best practice for safety in licensed venues - is a comprehensive guide outlining risk management practices and procedures. It includes information on legislative obligations and suggestions for adopting best safety practices.

The publication is compiled in a consistent and easy-to-follow format with each chapter including a summary on what the law says, a brief topic overview, best practice suggestions, implementation ideas and a list of additional resources.

While there is an emphasis on processes and procedures for

higher-risk venues, the strategies outlined in this guide can be used and adapted by the majority of licensed venues.

Chapters include: risk management and safety audit, management plan, patron bans, accords and community relationships, venue lighting and facilities, designated outdoor smoking area, fire and emergency planning, privacy policy, engagement of a security firm, crowd controllers: employment conduct and standards, crowd controller numbers, supervision of crowd controllers, post-incident management, managing the entry of patrons, alternatives to regular glass containers, ID scanner systems and related procedures, CCTV systems and metal detection wands.

AV and Systems Integration Integrate 2014 is the leading business platform for the AV and systems integration industries, attracting more than 5,000 visitors over three days. Taking place on 26-28 August, the exhibition and conference allows visitors to learn about new technologies in AV and IT, discover the latest products and solutions and understand global industry trends.

Held at the Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic

Park, visitors can expect to see more than 500 local and international brands in audio systems and entertainment, digital signage, building automation and control, unified collaboration and communication, video projection and display, and AV systems integration.

The Integrate Conference is a new feature at the show which will focus on three technology streams curated by KNX, IMCCA and Digital Screenmedia Association. Event partners InfoComm International and CEDIA will also deliver seminars and training sessions.

ALL SYSTEMS GO: AVOID DODGY DEVICES Are you responsible for buying and managing wireless communications systems in your workplace? Do you shop online or while overseas? Is your communications set-up relatively simple in design with a few handheld two-way radios in operation or more complex with multiple systems and devices working together? Either way, it’s likely that your wireless communications systems are subject to the requirements of the Radiocommunications Act 1992.

The consequences for operating a radiocommunications device that doesn’t comply with Australian law can be serious and may risk your business’s reputation. Taking some simple steps before buying your next product will help to ensure it operates on the correct frequencies and doesn’t cause interference. So make sure you remember to stop, research and question.

Stop! Research the product first > Can it be legally used in Australia? Seeking other information to that provided by the seller may alert you to potential issues with the product.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (the ACMA)— www.acma.gov.au—has detailed information on many devices, including high-risk items like mobile phone and GPS jammers, illegal mobile phone repeaters and mobile phone boosters. > Is the deal too good to be true? Is the price far cheaper than known reputable brands?

This may be a sign that the product hasn’t undergone the required testing to ensure it complies with Australian technical standards. Sellers

20 //SECURITY INSIDER JUNE 2014

(or their suppliers) must meet a range of technical and compliance requirements before selling a radiocommunications device in Australia—but not all sellers comply. > Where is the seller located?

Devices made for overseas markets may use the incorrect frequency in Australia and interfere with important services. > Does the seller look reputable? Only buy from websites that you know and trust. Check recommendations and feedback from other customers.

Question > Are you confident about the information you’ve been given?

If you’re unsure, ask the seller if it meets Australian requirements and if it can be legally used in Australia. Be wary if the seller does not adequately address your questions or concerns.

Know the consequences > You could block or disrupt important communications systems. If the device operates on the same frequencies as those used for emergency services, there is a risk it could substantially disrupt or block these vital communications systems. > You could receive an unwelcome visit. ACMA inspectors investigate and locate the source of interference to licensed radiocommunications services. Their enquiries may lead to your doorstep. > Your business could be prosecuted. There are various offences under the Act that could apply to the unlawful operation or possession of a

radiocommunications device.

The consequences can include a court-imposed penalty of up to $255,000 for a business making a radio emission from a non-standard transmitter.

The same penalty may apply to a business found guilty by a court of operating a radiocommunications device without an appropriate licence (sections 46 and 157).Your business’s reputation could also suffer a serious blow if it receives a court-imposed penalty. > Your hip pocket could be lighter. A device that doesn’t meet Australian technical requirements may not work here or you may be instructed by an ACMA inspector to stop using it.

If you buy a dodgy device from overseas, it’s possible that you won’t get your money back.

Don’t forget to stop, research and question before buying your next radiocommunications product.

The laws administered by the ACMA seek to ensure that radiocommunications products supplied in Australia operate on the correct frequencies, meet safe electromagnetic energy (EME) emission limits set by ARPANSA and meet the electromagnetic capability (EMC) requirements so that other devices are not unintentionally interfered with.

The ACMA does not regulate product safety (injury, illness and death caused by unsafe goods).

Information on electrical safety matters is available from state and territory energy regulators.

More advice on product safety is available from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s Product Safety website.

The real deal or a Thinking about buying a cordless phone, two-way radio, wireless modem or other radiocommunications device online or while overseas? These products are all subject to legal requirements to prevent interference. So, STOP, THINK and QUESTION before you buy.

Research the product

Suss out the seller

Can it be legally used in Australia?

Where is the supplier located?

Find reviews from other buyers and make sure it’s not a high-risk item like a mobile repeater, jammer or booster.

Devices made for overseas markets may use the incorrect frequency in Australia and interfere with important services.

Is the deal too good to be true?

If the product is far cheaper than known reputable brands, it may not have been tested to Australian technical standards.

Does it meet Australian regulatory requirements?

Question the seller.

Be wary if they don’t adequately address your concerns.

Does the seller look reputable?

Only buy from websites that you know and trust.

Check recommendations and feedback from other customers.

Know the consequences

Will you disrupt important communications systems?

Operating an illegal device could block reception in an emergency and put lives at risk.

Will you be out of pocket?

If you buy a dodgy device from overseas, it’s possible that you won’t get your money back.

Fancy a fine or jail time?

There’s a range of penalties if you cause interference—the courts could hit you with a hefty fine or you could even go to prison.

NSW - VIOLENCE / ASSAULTS ON CROWD CONTROLLERS IN AND AROUND NSW LICENSED PREMISES Violence and assaults in and around licensed premises is an issue that has attracted growing community and media attention over the past year.

In response, the NSW Government has sought to crackdown on drug and alcohol-fuelled violence through new alcohol laws involving 1.30am lockouts, 3am last drinks across a new Sydney CBD Entertainment Precinct and the introduction of a NSW-wide ban on takeaway alcohol sales after 10pm. A range of other initiatives, including minimum mandatory sentence for ‘one punch’ assaults have also been introduced.

An issue related to this that has been raised with ASIAL as one of concern among crowd control providers, is the level of assaults on crowd controllers in and around licensed premises.

The issue has also been the sub-

ject of discussion by the Security Licensing & Enforcement Directorate (SLED) Advisory Council.

It has been suggested that some crowd control providers at licensed premises may be coming under pressure from clients not to report assaults for fear that it may impact on the venue’s licence conditions imposed by the Office of Liquor & Gaming (OLGR), even if the assaults were not the fault of the venue or security provider.

The concern raised is that by not providing Police and OLGR with a true picture of what is actually taking place in and around licensed premises, an environment is created whereby perpetrators of alcohol related violence could re-offend resulting in serious or life threatening injuries.

In order to gauge the scope and extent of this issue, ASIAL is conducting a short survey of NSW

crowd control providers to identify ways in which safety can be enhanced and workplace conflict reduced. To take part in the survey which closes soon, visit www. asial.com.au

ADVERTORIAL MSS Security is one of Australia’s leading security companies. The industry giant employs more than 5,000 highly skilled individuals carefully trained to deliver a full range of security services across all market segments, from general guarding to highly specialised security roles.

Specific areas of expertise include static guarding, recruitment, training, risk management consulting and investigation services. The company is particularly well placed to provide security to the resource sector due to its ability to easily deploy trained

and licensed staff to remote worksites. The team also regularly provides security for major events and to the aviation, education, industrial, maritime, health, commercial property, defence, and government sectors.

The company’s sheer size gives it an enormous competitive advantage. As a leading specialist security personnel organisation, MSS Security has been able to develop a comprehensive national infrastructure that includes offices in the capital cities of every state and territory.

MSS Security’s most important asset is its employees. “A lot of

people talk about technology and innovation in business,” reports Greig Francis, General Manager of Client Services for MSS Security. “We are a people business. Our product is people, so all our innovation is around how we support our people.” MSS Security’s vast size and scope also allows for plenty of career advancement, another factor that attracts top notch talent. “They know that if they join us, chances are that they can work their way up and through the business,” Mr Francis says. “All in all, that provides a person of better quality and calibre [for our] customers.”

ASIAL ONLINE

New look ASIAL website recognised

ASIAL’s new look web site has been recognised by Enterprise Web Content Management Software Leader, Kentico CMS, as among its top 10 sites worldwide.

Kentico selects 10 websites from around the world out of hundreds every month using its content management system that represent the highest quality and set the standard of excellence. The developer of the new ASIAL site, BlueArc applied best practice user experience design to create an industry leading website for ASIAL. The new site clearly displays ASIAL member benefits, key services and industry information to meet the needs of the target audience in an engaging way.

The new look site went live in December 2013. The aim was to provide a more modern and

28 //SECURITY INSIDER JUNE 2014

responsive site recognising the growth in mobile traffic to the site.

Through the use of a responsive web design, with an optimized mobile layout, site visitors can now access information they need with a sense of security. Regardless of their device or screen size, the ASIAL website is agile enough to adapt to every web browser.

Highlights of the new site include a robust “Resource Centre” section with information for ASIAL members, a “Connect with us” area with direct feeds from Twitter, Blog and Forum enabling industry professionals to engage with other like minded peers.

The most significant changes, based on direct requests from site users, is easier navigation including the addition of log in buttons on every page of the site and visible renew and join buttons.

The website redesign features a secure login for both members and registered cablers. For new members interested in accessing industry news, guidelines / templates, forums & webinars, or to shop online, they can apply to receive full website access using an easy to use web form.

With the new design, ASIAL wanted to meet the needs of its key audiences, including members, registered cablers and consumers looking for home security tips, without overlapping.

Two factors that did not change with the redesign are the functionality of the site’s search tool “Find an ASIAL member” and the online application, though both have aesthetic changes.

The site has more than just information on how to become a member, it also features helpful links to legislation and regulations, information on security industry licensing, standards/codes, blogs, forums, webinars, industry articles, news and events.

BlueArc implemented Kentico CMS platform and applied best digital practice in user experience design to create and produce a secure, industry leading website for ASIAL. The new site clearly displays ASIAL member benefits, key services and industry information to meet the needs of the target audience in an engaging way.

Social media engagement with each member and target audience was key and required social media channels to be integrated to the website to increase brand awareness and thought leadership.

Commenting on the recognition, ASIAL CEO Bryan de Caires said “The Association is committed to providing members and consumers with access to a world-class online information portal. The inclusion of the ASIAL site among Kentico’s top 10 sites is recognition of this.”

FAIR WORK OMBUDSMAN

TIPS FOR HIRING NEW EMPLOYEES g

By Greg Jennings

Hiring is an important decision for your business. The right approach can benefit your workplace and save you time and money.

Hiring a new employee isn’t a single event; it’s a process. Understanding each step in the process will help your business find the right person for the job.

The Fair Work Ombudsman has created some simple and practical steps you can take to improve your hiring practices.

Think about hiring Firstly, it is important to assess your business’ current and future needs and define the role that needs to be filled. Consider if hiring is the only option, or whether there is already someone on staff who can be trained for the role.

If you decide to go to market,

think about what you need from the role and develop a job description to match. Consider the employment status (casual, part-time or full-time) and the skills and qualifications required.

Attract the right people Once you have a clear idea of the role you want to fill, the next step is to advertise the job and attract the right candidates. You’ll want to make sure suitable applicants hear about the opportunity, find it appealing and can match it with their skills, qualifications and expectations.

The best way to advertise will depend on the job itself. Consider advertising on online job sites, social media, in newspapers or industry publications, or on a poster in the shop window.

Choose the right person The next step is to create a shortlist of candidates you want to invite to interview from the applications received. A shortlist is particularly useful if you get a lot of interest in the position.

Interviews can be formal or informal. The focus should be on asking the right questions so the applicant’s skills and experience can 30 //SECURITY INSIDER JUNE 2014

be matched with the job that needs to be done.

Avoid asking questions that are personal, intrusive or irrelevant to the role as they may be seen as discriminatory.

The Fair Work Ombudsman’s Online Leaning Centre – www.fairwork.gov. au/learning – has a course titled Hiring new employees, where employers can test their interviewing skills through an interactive video scenario.

Offer of employment Once you’ve selected the best candidate, the next step is to offer them the job. This can be done over the phone, but it’s a good idea to follow up in writing with a letter of offer.

There are template letters available at www.fairwork.gov.au/templates.

This is also a good opportunity to provide a copy of the Fair Work Information Statement, which must be given to every new employee when they start work.You can download a copy at www.fairwork.gov.au/fwis.

It’s also a good idea to include copies of any relevant company policies and any forms that need to be completed, such as a tax file declaration or superannuation choice form.

Start on the right foot Investing time in a thorough induction will ensure you get the most from your new employee. A well thought-out induction helps employees feel wellinformed and equipped to do their job.

The induction might include things like: a tour of the workplace, an overview of the business, an explanation about the employee’s role and responsibilities, a discussion about relevant policies and procedures and a run-down of health and safety protocols.

Be a productive workplace During the first few weeks of employment, meet with the new employee to set goals and expectations and identify any training

32 //SECURITY INSIDER JUNE 2014

that might be required.

Regular meetings are a good way to give new staff members feedback about their performance and monitor their suitability for the role.

The Fair Work Ombudsman’s Online Leaning Centre has a course for managers and business owners titled Difficult conversations in the workplace, which has practical tips for handling difficult conversations and reaching successful outcomes. It can be accessed at www.fairwork.gov.au/ learning.

Know the law There are workplace laws that apply to all casual, part-time and fulltime employees, as well as some contractors. The laws cover things like wages, record-keeping, pay slips and discrimination. Before hiring, it’s important you understand your workplace obligations.

Be familiar with the National Employment Standards (NES). There are 10 in total and they apply to all employees. They cover things like maximum weekly hours, parental leave and public holidays. For more information about the NES employers can visit www.fairwork.gov.au/nes.

It’s also important to know which modern award/s or registered

agreements apply to your workplace.

A modern award is a document that sets out the minimum wages and conditions for an industry or occupation. They apply on top of the NES and cover things like pay, hours of work, rosters, breaks, allowances, penalty rates and overtime. To search for the award that applies to your business, you can visit www.fairwork. gov.au/awards.

The Fair Work Ombudsman has launched A guide to hiring new employees for businesses that outlines these steps and provides straight-forward advice about hiring new staff. The guide is available at www.fairwork.gov.au/hiring.

The guide was created to give business operators advice in plainEnglish about the best way to employ new workers and to outline their workplace obligations in simple terms.

Employers and employees seeking further information and advice can visit the website www.fairwork.gov.au or call the Fair Work Infoline on 13 13 94. A free interpreter service is also available on 13 14 50.

AUSTRALIAN SECURITY MEDALS FOUNDATION

Industry Recognises Bravery & Commitment g

By Rod Cowan

In just four years, the Australian Security Medals Foundation Inc. (ASMF) has grown from an idea around a dinner table to an industry event recognising bravery and contribution to security.

With this year’s medals being presented during a sold-out black-tie charity dinner at the Sydney Opera House, ASMF Chairman, Steve Jackson, said: “Not only is it a huge honour to recognise individuals for their bravery and contribution, to be able to do so at such an iconic venue 36 //SECURITY INSIDER JUNE 2014

speaks volumes for how far we have come in such a short space of time.”

Five Australian Security Medals for Valour (ASMV) were awarded to: Joe Bakhos for negotiating with a man who was holding a machete to a boy’s throat and threatening to kill him unless his demands to see his family were met.

Chris Twal for intervening at personal risk to stop a man who had punched a 62-year-old man in a shopping centre.

Mahmoud (Chris) Nemra for

protecting a group of eight-to 10-yearold boys from a gang of 30 youths who were threatening them, by putting himself between the boys and the gang.

Ross Chapman for breaking up a fight in which he was hit, headbutted and threatened with being shot.

Jovan Jovanov for intervening in the attack of an elderly man by another man and dog.

“The ASMV is awarded to recognise security operatives for an outstanding act or acts of valour; an action or

AUSTRALIAN SECURITY MEDALS FOUNDATION

actions demonstrating valour, courage and decisiveness above and beyond the call of duty,” said ASMF patron, MP Philip Ruddock.

Two Australian Security Medals (ASMs) were also awarded to Julian Talbot and Bill Forbes.

“The ASM is awarded to recognise the outstanding career and character of the security professional receiving it,” said Ruddock.“Recipients have demonstrated a consistent, high-level contribution to the wider community, sometimes through innovative noncore business activities and projects, or through extraordinary performance in their professional role. This award is about more than how a person runs their business or operates in an organisation, but emphasises what they do above and beyond their dayto-day responsibilities.”

Senior corporate security managers form the judging panel for the Medals.

“This means that the nominations are carefully considered by major buyers of security and peers to fellow security managers,” said Jackson.

“The Panel not only discusses – at length – the merits of each case but follow up where necessary with further investigation and checking references.

The final stage of that process is to submit the finalists to the Patron, not so much for approval but a final proofing, if you like.”

Not every nomination is successful, but is nonetheless worthy of mention,

in which case a Certificate of Meritorious Conduct is sent to the person’s employer for presentation to the individual. Two such certificates were sent to Ibrahim Moustapha and Nemani Rainibogi.

This year saw the introduction of the St John Ambulance Save a Life Award presented to security personnel responsible for saving lives through the rendering of first aid. Thanks to the quick thinking and training of security officers hundreds of lives are saved each year.

St John Ambulance Chancellor, Mark Compton presented the inaugural Save a Life Awards along with a First Aid Kit to Damien Stewart and Adriano Villella.

Funds raised from the night will go to beyondblue, which in partnership with the ASMF launched the beyondblue National Workplace Program in the security industry.

Kate Carnell, beyondblue CEO, said common mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety, can lead to increased absenteeism, high staff turnover and lost productivity.

“Male-dominated industries such as the security industry are particularly at risk because men are less likely than women to take action if they’re having a rough time,” said Carnell.

“Security staff are often the first responders in emergency situations which may be distressing and if the

distress is not addressed, it may put people at risk of developing mental health problems.

“The nature of the work often means security staff have little control over the demands of their work environment which is a high risk factor for job stress.”

Subsidised NWP workshops are available to male-dominated workplaces through funding provided by the Federal Department of Health and Ageing’s ‘Taking Action to Tackle Suicide’ strategy. Funding is capped and available till end June 2014. (To find out more, call 1300 134 644).

In addition to support for beyondblue, the ASMF operates a fund to provide assistance to the families of security personnel killed in the line of duty.

“The ASMF is very much about changing the perception of security by sharing stories about its heroes and leaders, doing good within the wider community, and supporting those that need help within its own community,” says Jackson.

“Security is an integral part of business and society, and the Foundation is currently formulating plans to raise further awareness about the work in the security domain, which contributes to the security and wellbeing of millions of Australians.”

Managing CoMplianCe and Market risk The meteoric rise of social media has brought with it new commercial and marketing opportunities. But for all its advantages, social media is fraught with risk and market compliance obligations that make it a minefield for companies whether they use social media or not.

In the past two years alone, there have been several high-profile incidents involving false and misleading information being broadcast through social media platforms. As a result, new continuous disclosure requirements have been introduced by the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) that have put social media front and centre for the Board and Senior Management of every listed company across Australia.

In practice this means that companies will be expected to have systems in place to deal with market disclosures, not within days or hours, but within minutes. Prudent management will require companies to monitor social media on an ongoing basis to meet this expectation, together with having clear strategies to anticipate and respond to emerging or unforeseeable risk.

There are lessons to be learnt & questions to ask

How well prepared is your organisation to manage the risk of a social media campaign against the company or its suppliers?

Are your Board members receiving regular reports on how social media is being managed?

Do the decision makers within your organisation sufficiently understand the risks to good governance by failing to implement sound social media auditing and reporting?

“Organisations and their directors need to be aware of the new continuous disclosure requirements and what can be actioned now to be compliant,” says Colin Hay, Sales Director, Aon Risk Solutions. The first step is to conduct a Social Media Audit and organisations need to be aware that there are services and solutions available to ensure the impact and likelihood of an incident are minimal.”

Auditing your organisation’s social media presence to identify risks and creating a profile that allows for a significantly higher ratio of benefit to hazard, can involve, but is certainly not limited to:

Managing social media business interruption risks.

The importance and relevance of social media continues to intensify as this medium becomes an integral component in connecting with clients and various key stakeholders. The ASX continuous disclosure requirements are just one of numerous drivers of the need to be vigilant about a risk, which cannot only affect an organisation’s brand and reputation, but also bring about financial loss.

Aon and our Social Media Intelligence partner SR7 have pioneered the risk management of social media, assisting organisations around the world in mitigating social media risks and capitalising on the opportunities that exist.

As organisations continue to venture into the world of social media in order to better understand their customers and grow their market share, they must also carefully consider the inherent risks and exposures associated with a most fluid form of communication that is having an increasing influence on businesses of all sizes and, indeed, fast shaping the 21st century. • Angelo Gannis Client Manager, Aon Risk Solutions t: +61 2 9253 7489 e: angelo.gannis@aon.com SECURITY INSIDER JUNE 2014// 39

Award Modernisation 4 Year Review (Overview) g

By Chris Delaney

We are now in the fourth year of the modern award system. Many pre-modern awards from states and territories have been transitioning since 1 July 2010 and that process will be completed on 1 July 2014 when only the Modern Award for a particular industry will have application.

Over the past few months ASIAL has been surveying members to gain insight into the need for changes to our modern awards ready for the 4 yearly review. An outline of the review process, which will be in two parts, common issues and individual awards, appears below.

Where it is necessary and meets the Fair Work Commission (FWC) guidelines ASIAL will make submissions to vary the awards in which we have a major interest – the Security Services Industry Award 2010 and the Electrical, Electronic and Communications Industry Award 2010. The FWC has made it clear that any submissions for variations to an award will need to be supported by compelling evidence.

Findings from ASIAL’s Small / Medium Business Survey Of those who completed the survey: • 87.4% were Incorporated Companies • 7.55% were Sole Traders and • 4.72% were Partnerships • 58.49% were Small (1 to 19 employees) • 41.51% were Medium (20 to 199 employees) • 75% were in the Security 42 //SECURITY INSIDER JUNE 2014

Services and CIT • 25% were in Electronic Security Award conditions that had the greatest adverse effect were: • Penalty Rates 75.24% • Public Holiday Penalties 71.43% • Shift Work Provisions 56.31% • Overtime Rates 60.95% • Unfair Dismissal Provisions

61.54%

The 4 yearly Review Process The first 4 yearly review of modern awards (the Review) consists of three stages. In the Initial stage a Full Bench of the Fair Work Commission (the Commission) issued a decision on 17 March 2014, which determined the scope of the Review and addressed a number of legislative issues. A Statement issued on the same day confirmed the first tranche of common issues to be dealt with and included a preliminary timeline for dealing with these issues. The Security Services Industry Award will be dealt with in the first award stage.

Following on from the initial stage, there are two concurrent stages – the common issues stage and the award stage. The common issues stage has commenced and is dealing with issues such as: • Annual leave • Award flexibility/facilitative provisions • Casual employment • Part-time employment • Public holidays • Transitional/sunsetting provisions relating to accident pay, redundancy and district allowances

NB Penalty Rates have been identified as one of the most important impediments to doing business in the Security industry.

In today’s society where service industries like security, operate 24/7, penalty rates increase labour costs, reduce employment, and impede business attempts to service customers late at night, on weekends, and public holidays. This along with the rights of employees to refuse work on public holidays, and the refusal of clients to pay the higher rates makes it extremely difficult for security providers to operate.

However, penalty rates in Australian awards are not a recent addition.

They go back 95 years when the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Commission held that penalty rates for work on Sundays were intended to compensation employees for working unsociable times and in 1947 Saturday became 125% of the base rate, and the rate for Sunday work double time, or 200% of the base rate.

Recently a full bench of the Fair Work Commission handed down its decision on penalty rates as part of the 2012 Modern Award Transitional Review, declining to vary the penalty rates in the hospitality and retail industry awards.

It was successfully argued that penalty rates in services industries are integral in supplementing the incomes of low paid workers. This coupled with the social implications for the removal of penalty rates altogether from awards is a significant hurdle for

WORKPLACE RELATIONS employers to overcome.

The Award Stage The award stage will formally commence on 13 May 2014 with an initial conference.

The review of each modern award

will not be finalised until the common issues and the award stages are completed. Therefore we will not have a finalised award before late 2015.

The process is anticipated to run until mid-2015.

An initial conference was held on 13 May 2014 to determine the timetable for dealing with the awards in Group 1, identify any issues affecting awards within this group including coverage.

ASIAL’s submissions will be in relation to the following matters: • Consultation Clause (Change of Roster). ASIAL will seek a variation to this clause to bring it in line with other clauses in the award relating to rostering and posting of rosters.

• 12 Hour Shifts - Removing the requirement for employers to have individual or collective

•

•

agreements with employees with what are standard practices in the industry.

Broken Shift Allowance - A clarification of application.

Stand By Allowance - A new allowance for Patrol Offices on

Standby • First Response - ASIAL proposes a definition for first response.

Subsequent to decisions under common issues ASIAL may make submissions on Part Time work and/or Penalty Rates.

For each group of awards the steps will include: • a conference at the

commencement of each award

group to determine the timetable

for dealing with the awards

in that group, identify any issues

affecting awards within this

group including coverage and to

confirm the awards in

each cluster in this

group. Parties will provide a short

outline of any identified issues

prior to the conference.

• the Commission will publish a

proposed running order outlining the sequence in which they will call on each award or cluster of awards during the initial conference.

• directions, including a timetable

with deadlines for submissions.

• further conferences to

work through particular

issues before a single member of

the Commission who will report

back to the Full Bench.

• one or more hearings

at which parties will be required

to present evidence to support

any proposed changes.

• the Full Bench issuing Exposure

Drafts of modern awards

including changes arising

from the submissions and

hearings, along with

any technical and

drafting changes proposed by

the Commission.

• parties will be given an

opportunity to make submissions

on the Exposure Drafts.

• if necessary, further hearings may

be required.

• the Full Bench may issue one or more determinations varying modern awards to reflect the outcome of the proceedings.

Determinations will generally come into force from the date they are issued.

• if a modern award is also

affected by the outcome of a

‘common issue’ matter, additional

determinations may also be

issued which will operate from

the date they are signed.

The Review could involve an award being amended several times, both during the award stage or as a result of one or more of the common issues matters. After all awards and common issues have been dealt with, the Commission will hold a hearing to formally conclude the Review in order to be satisfied that the final content of the each award reflects the outcome of any decisions arising from the Review and meets the Commission’s obligations under s.156 of the Act. While each award will be considered during these proceedings, this will not SECURITY INSIDER JUNE 2014// 43
