A NEW ERA FOR

POLICE & PRIVATE SECURITY?

The private security industry is growing at a faster rate than both the increasing rate of growth in police numbers and the Australian population. Already double the size of police services around the country in terms of personnel, the security industry now comprises over 5,500 businesses which generate combined revenues well in excess $4 billion per year.

Security personnel have also been increasing in numbers at a rate above that of police and the population, although with some slowing in growth from the turn of the century.The available data also confirm some commonly held views about differences between police and security personnel: security providers are less likely to have completed higher education than police, they earn lower salaries and they are more likely to be employed parttime.The age of security providers also spans a wider range than police.

Security Industry and Police by Age Group: 2006 Census – Total Australia

However, there is a dearth of research on the scope and dimensions of the industry. Whilst the industry has experienced a period of profound growth, it has also been plagued by a poor public perception.The actions of a few individuals and alleged links between security companies and organised crime have made headlines and cast a shadow over the industry. In order to build and maintain confidence in the sector, it is vital that the industry and governments are committed to setting the highest standard of competency, integrity and regulation.The research addressed all of these issues.

The following provides a brief summary of the report’s key findings. A copy of the full report can be downloaded from www.asial.com.au/research.

Blythe, Chairman, Crisis Management International > Overview During times of crisis, individuals and teams assemble to address the critical needs and concerns of impacted stakeholders and the organisation. Sometimes the true crisis leaders “emerge,” not by appointment, but from the team members who excel in managing the situation with excellence.These highly effective crisis team members have a clear vision of the problem (beyond the obvious) and what resolution would look like; they then execute the plan in conjunction with others.

CONFERENCE PROGRAM

plans, this presentation will benchmark structures and operational guidelines of crisis management teams that are highly effective. Further, it will answer the question,“What can I do to increase the effectiveness of my team and myself during times of crisis?”

The 6 key phases of managing your team will be discussed: 1. Notification and Activation 2. Fact Finding and Assessment 3. Decision Making 4. Prioritizing 5. Implementation 6. De-Escalation > A take-and-use model for effective Crisis Team participation and leadership-from-within will be provided. Learn successful fieldtested strategies based on the extensive worldwide experience of Bruce T. Blythe, CEO of Crisis Management International. Blythe will also highlight strategic crisis readiness and crisis leadership tools that will align team members with the interests of senior management, i.e., protecting core assets of the organisation when threatened by crisis.

2.00 – 5.00 Executive Briefing 2: Crisis Decision-Making Hospitality Suite Upstairs Hall 5, Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre, Darling Harbour Presented by Bruce T. Blythe, Chairman, Crisis Management International > Overview An unexpected, high-consequence crisis situation arises. Early information is incomplete and most often inaccurate. In the early hours, the velocity of necessary crisis-related decisions typically comes fast.Timing is of the essence in order to stay ahead of the developing, wide-spreading reactions of impacted stakeholders. With insufficient time to gather and verify facts, organisational leaders must make vital decisions with only partial knowledge. Important decisions must be made when (1) partially informed; (2) time is limited; and (3) the future is uncertain. Some leaders are much more proficient at making and implementing effective decisions during these uncertain times than others. For many teams and individuals, crises magnify the significance of their small weaknesses.To address this problem, several scientific studies have analyzed and identified “Simple Rules of Thumb” that help organisational leaders make high-quality decisions during turbulent, unstable times. When can these gut-level decisions (based on partial knowledge) be trusted? Research has shown that decisions made using Simple Rules of Thumb in unexpected high-consequence, fast moving situations lead to superior decision-making.These decisions are less prone to estimation and calculation errors than decisions that are “over thought.” What are the concrete “Simple Rules of Thumb” that highly effective leaders focus upon during unexpected crisis situations …from frequent, less severe crises to incidents of disastrous proportions? This presentation will help each participant obtain take-and-use methods for increasing the quality of decision-making during uncertain, high-consequence situations that inevitably occur from time to time in one’s career and personal life.

About the Global Security Challenge Now in its sixth year, the annual GSC seeks and rewards the year’s top security innovations. The extension of this year’s deadline allows the competition to receive a higher number of top-quality innovations, staying true to the competition’s chief purpose. Startups and SMEs from around the world are invited to enter, competing for prize funds with a total value of $500k. The GSC is not limited to traditional security companies and innovators from other sectors are strongly encouraged to apply. Products/ideas must be original, innovative and useful in a security setting. Previous finalists and winners have come from non-traditional sectors such as healthcare/medical technology and IT. The Global Security Challenge (GSC) is a competition and forum for security innovators, start ups and investors. It provides a valuable launching pad for security innovation and each year over US$500,000 is awarded to entrepreneurs and researchers within the security technology field. The mission of the GSC is to stimulate technological innovations that make airports, cities and enterprises safer without encroaching on civil liberties. The GSC is supported by BAE Systems, Nauta Capital, Smiths Detection Systems, ONR Global and TSWG, amongst others. Partners include the National Security Innovation Competition and Hakin9.

IR – SECURITY EMPLOYMENT

TWO SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYMENT ISSUES AFFECTING SECURITY EMPLOYERS IN AUSTRALIA By Chris Delaney

It is a common belief that employees are open to conduct their private activities without interference from their employer. However increasingly courts and tribunals are allowing employers to intrude into the non-work activities of their employees because of the impact the behaviour might have on the employerÕs business interests. The costs of employing direct employees are high, and we don’t just mean wages. Loadings and penalty rates, superannuation, worker’s compensation, annual leave, administration costs etc. the list is seemingly endless. Add to that, customers who don’t want to pay a reasonable rate for the service, and

Little wonder security firms seek to mitigate some or all of these impediments to making a profit by engaging subcontractors. However few enter these arrangements with their eyes wide open and fully aware of the dangers of possibly being involved in

Are your subcontractors really subcontractors?

Sham contracting carries a penalty of up to $33,000. The Fair Work Act 2009 prohibits "sham" independent contracting arrangements. A company must not misrepresent an arrangement as independent contracting, when in fact the relationship is one of employer and employee, and must not sack an employee to later engage them as a

Regardless of what you call the arrangement it must fit within the legal definition of a sub-contractor otherwise it may be deemed a sham arrangement.

Knowing the difference between employee and subcontractor is essential An employee is normally engaged to do work on a continuing basis and at the employer’s direction.The duties are usually defined in the contract of employment, while the scope of the work is left open. The subcontracting agreement normally requires a defined result or outcome from the job to be completed. Generally, alterations to the specification of the job will give rise to a variation in the contract price. When the courts are making a decision about whether a person is an

The remedies available to Fair Work Australia (FWA) include; • Re instatement of the employee to their former position or a comparable position; and/or • Reimburse the employee lost remuneration for the period of unemployment; and/or • Compensation/damages up to 6 months pay (maximum of $59,050)

investment. If control is established, courts will often find that an employer/ employee relationship exists. The distinction between the relationship of employer/ employee and principal/subcontractor is extremely difficult to make. We strongly recommended that you seek professional guidance before entering into subcontractor arrangements.

Dismissals and Adverse Action The Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act)

Procedural fairness will have a significant role in to play in the decisions of FWA. FWA must take into account: • whether there was a valid reason for the dismissal related to the person's capacity or conduct (including its effect on the safety and welfare of other employees); and • whether the person was notified of that reason; and • whether the person was given an opportunity to respond to any continued page 67

What is a workplace right? A person is considered to have a workplace right under Section 341(1) of the Act if they: Have an entitlement, role or responsibility; • The entitlement, role or responsibility must be the subject of a workplace law. • For example – an entitlement to maternity leave or a role as union representative.

While we don’t hear of many decisions in this area it is fair to say that most adverse action claims are resolved through negotiated settlement.This is mainly due to the costs of litigation and the access employees have to unlimited damages unlike the capped unfair dismissal remedies. What is adverse action? Adverse action can be action taken by an employer against an employee if an employer: • dismisses or threatens to dismiss the employee; • injures the employee in his/her employment; • prejudicially alters the employee's position (e.g. demotion); or • discriminates between the affected

Are capable of making an inquiry or complaint about their employment. • This includes making a complaint to a person or body if that person or body has the ability to enforce or seek compliance on workplace laws, for example the Fair Work Ombudsman.

Some examples An employee questions their rate of pay with the employer. After the inquiry the employee’s hours are changed.The employee believes the change is related to their inquiry.The employee can make a claim under this provision for intervention from FWA or the court. The employer would have to positively prove the change was not because of the inquiry to prevent intervention, such as an order to change the hours back or a fine. A shift worker refuses to work on a public and is dismissed.The employee claims that under the National Employment Standards they have a right to refuse.The employer argues that the right is limited and they have a continued page 68

Remedies available to employees If the breach involves the termination of an employee a conference must be held between the parties in Fair Work Australia (FWA). Failing a resolution at this conference, FWA will issue a certificate allowing the dispute to proceed to the relevant court. Civil remedies are available for a breach of these provisions, which would be sought by filing a claim in either the Federal Court or the Federal Magistrates Court. The Act allows a person to seek an

Employers need to take care Exercise caution in disciplinary matters, transfers, demotions, changes in conditions of employment and dismissals to ensure that these are executed fairly and in accordance with proper process and not as a reaction to an employee exercising a workplace or industrial right. Adverse action claims are increasing and employers risk these claims as an alternative to unfair dismissal claims (where the compensation is capped) or discrimination claims. We recommend that employers take the following steps to ensure that they are adverse action claim ready: • educate managers and supervisors

disciplinary actions and changes to employee conditions – because adverse action claims that are not in relation to termination of employment can be commenced within six years of the event • establish a system to recognize the warning signs, so that grievances can be effectively dealt with and resolved internally Regardless of these laws, employers should act on disciplinary matters in a genuine way using appropriate procedures where it is necessary to correct performance or conduct issues in the workplace. Where unsure about how to proceed, members should call ASIAL or their preferred provider for professional advice and assistance. ASIAL can assist you with training and advice on disciplinary procedures, dismissals and possible adverse action claims and to assist you to identify manage your risks.

The nature of modern electronic security systems dictates that they be powered continuously – energy consumption over the life of the system can be considerable. Australian manufactured Eco Range security power products have been specifically designed to conserve precious resources - both manufacturing & operational. Eco Range models are smaller, lighter and significantly more energy efficient than the models that they replace, with the added benefit of substantially less thermal output – meaning that system longevity and long term installation cooling costs are greatly improved. Eco Range models are available in 12Vdc, 13.5Vdc & 24Vac configurations and of course feature legendary Tactical reliability.
