TERROR THREAT

TERROR THREAT REMAINS UNCHANGED DURING PERIOD OF SIGNIFICANT

NATIONAL SECURITY REFORM

g

By Kirsty Jagger, Marketing & Communications Manager, ASIAL

The National Terrorism Threat Level remains unchanged at PROBABLE, but Prime Minister Malcom Turnbull isn’t taking any chances, announcing important new legislation has been passed as part of the “most significant programme of national security legislation reform since September 2001.”

T

“

his new law ensures that, where terrorist offenders cannot be rehabilitated, we will have the power to keep the community safe,” Mr Turnbull said, referring to the Criminal Code Amendment (High Risk Terrorist Offenders) Bill 2016, which will keep high risk terrorist offenders behind bars.

“The Criminal Code Amendment (High Risk Terrorist Offenders) Bill 2016 was the second piece of national security legislation passed by the Parliament yesterday, and the third in the past fortnight,” Mr Turnbull said on 2 December 2016.

“The importance of the new scheme is highlighted by the number of convicted terrorists currently behind bars and the unprecedented number of Australians – 55 people from 24 counter-terrorism operations – charged with terrorism offences since September 2014.

“The Coalition Government has now secured the passage of eight tranches of national security legislation through the Parliament since 2014. This is the most significant programme of national security legislation reform since September 2001.”

Meanwhile the National Terrorism Threat Level for Australia remains unchanged at PROBABLE, although

Attorney General George Brandis said the latest update to the public advice notes that: • Australia has experienced one terror-related attack and five disrupted plots so far in 2016; • The preeminent threat is from individuals or small groups who use simple attack methodologies; and • Lone actor threats are not exclusive to Islamist extremism, with a right-wing extremist arrested and charged with terrorism-related offences in Melbourne this year.

“The continuing threat level of PROBABLE reflects credible intelligence that individuals or groups have developed both an intent and capability to conduct a terrorist attack in Australia,” Senator Brandis said.

“Since the threat level was raised in September 2014, Australia has experienced four terror-related attacks and 11 major disruptions of imminent attack planning.

“Our law enforcement and security agencies are among the best in the world and are well supported by the Government's comprehensive counter-terrorism legislation reforms.”

The Australian National Security website (www.nationalsecurity.gov.au) says the terrorist threat in Australia remains escalated; “Australia and Australians are viewed as legitimate targets and those who wish to do us

harm believe they have an ideological justification to conduct attacks.”

“While the most likely form of terrorism in Australia remains an attack by an individual or small group, the possibility of coordinated attacks against multiple targets—as seen in recent attacks overseas—cannot be ruled out,” the website reads.

“A terrorist attack in Australia would probably use weapons and tactics that are low-cost and relatively simple, including basic weapons, explosives and/or firearms.

“While the symbolic appeal of an attack against a government or authority—such as the military, police and security agencies—elevates the threat to these entities, members of the public could also be attacked indiscriminately.

“Attacks against the general public are designed to cause injury or death and are aimed at disrupting our lives and causing fear; even a simple attack can meet this objective. This is why it is important for the public to maintain a level of awareness and to report any suspicious activity immediately to authorities.”

All suspicious incidents should be reported to the National Security Hotline on 1800 123 400.

1AM LOCKOUT STARTS IN QUEENSLAND’S 3AM SAFE NIGHT PRECINCTS

Under the Tackling Alcohol Fuelled Violence Legislation Amendment Bill 2016, Queensland’s Safe Night Precinct boards were given the opportunity to vote on whether to become a ‘3am Safe Night Precinct’ from 1 February 2017.

The results of these votes were considered by the AttorneyGeneral and Minister for Justice and a recommendation was made to, and approved by, Governor in Council on 7 December 2016.

Queensland’s Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation Executive Director, Michael Sarquis has since advised that from 1 February 2017 the following precincts will become a 3am Safe Night Precinct, with a 1am lock out: • Airlie Beach • Townsville CBD • Mackay CBD • Rockhampton CBD • Bundaberg CBD • Sunshine Coast (Caloundra, Maroochydore and Mooloolaba)

• Patrons will have 30 minutes after last drinks are called to finish their drinks.

• Patrons can re-enter your venue after 3am and you can serve food, non-alcoholic drinks, provide entertainment and authorised gaming.

• After 2am, you can serve food, non-alcoholic drinks, provide entertainment and authorised gaming.

AML/CTF COMPLIANCE REPORTS DUE: 31 MARCH 2017 The anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) regulator is calling on businesses to lodge their 2016 compliance report through AUSTRAC Online by 31 March 2017.

The annual compliance report is a self-assessment of your business’ AML/CTF compliance during the 2016 calendar year, which is by 31 March 2017.

It is a legal obligation to lodge an annual compliance report.

AUSTRAC uses the information to broadly assess if you are protecting your business from criminals wanting to launder illicit

money or fund terrorism.

AUSTRAC also uses it to identify needs for extra guidance and support to help those businesses that report they are struggling to meet their AML/CTF obligations.

An instruction guide for submitting CR16 is available online at the AUSTRAC website. Calls or emails to the AUSTRAC are also welcome via contact@austrac.gov. au or 1300 021 037.

visits and employer wage audits with access to data matching information linked to the Australian Tax Office and the Office of State Revenue.

If you own a business and employ workers in Queensland, even members of your family, it is compulsory to have an accident insurance policy with WorkCover. If a worker is injured at

work, they can apply for workers’ compensation no matter whom or what caused their injury, so it’s important to be covered.

WorkCover Queensland Manager - Customer Compliance, Ms Stacey Looney said any Queensland business who employs a worker is breaking the law if they don’t have a WorkCover Accident Insurance policy.

“Uninsured employers who lodge WorkCover claims are held to account and subject to significant financial penalties, including the cost of the claim. These penalties can amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars for severe injuries,” Ms Looney said.

A WorkCover Accident Insurance policy costs as little as $200 per year, inc GST (depending on which industry a business belongs to and wages paid to its workers).

Employers can apply for a WorkCover policy online by visiting worksafe.qld.gov.au, or by calling WorkCover on 1300 362 128 to get the right advice.

ASIAL can also offer members advice on 1300 127 425.

APPLE, GOOGLE AND AMAZON – CREATING THE BUILDING AUTOMATION MARKET

By Guy Olian, CEO, Security Lease Most Australian’s have never heard of Amazon’s Echo. That said it’s no surprise that the smart building revolution is being led by technology behemoths rather than traditional security/hardware companies.

Working with leading Australian security and automation integrators it’s clear that many are not aware of this forthcoming avalanche of activity.

Since launching in December 2014 between 1.6 - 3 million Echo devices have been sold – significantly exceeding the companies’ own expectations.

Recently, it has been revealed that Apple Inc. is also progressing the development of an Echo-like smarthome device based on the Siri voice assistant. Google’s parent Alphabet is also playing in this sandpit and developing its competing product called Google Home.

These software and hardware

solutions will revolutionise how we work and interact with buildings.

These technology companies’ interests in the building automation space is not surprising. Apple has experienced successive year-overyear quarterly drops in sales and must find new avenues of growth.

Gaining market share and growing revenue when you are as big as these three companies is on a global scale. These three companies, on their own, are worth over $1 trillion in combined market value. These companies regularly create new markets where they previously didn’t exist. Remember Google is only 18 years old.

This all paints for an interesting picture in the battle to control buildings. While this will initially focus on domestic installations we anticipate that commercial customers will begin adopting similar smart building and automation solutions in earnest once the

solutions hit Australian shores (likely mid 2017).

To further fuel adoption, this entire new smart building ecosystem will be funded like telephony equipment.

Hardware that is subsidised via monthly data/software service plans.

We see the affordability provided by such payment plans as being a key pillar of driving growth without tying up business’ working capital.

For Australia’s security integrators, being aware of the entry of these tech giants is crucial. How can you participate, distribute, integrate with these solutions? What will your smart building solution look like?

At Security Lease our vision is to make buildings smarter by working with the people who make it happen – the suppliers.

asked with securing a facility or a campus?

Then you have probably considered the integration of its security systems. Through integration, a business can benefit from efficiencies that did not exist when the systems “stood alone” and had no reliance on one another for notification. Although recent technological advances in the security marketplace have made integration technically easier to achieve, the process of implementation is still complex.

Let’s discuss the steps for developing a process for the successful integration of security systems. Each step discussed is of paramount importance to ensuring that the integration plan implemented is practical, budget friendly and meets the needs of your organisation.

The most important step is defining the integration that is beneficial to the organisation.

But to do this, a team of security professionals must be established to properly identify integration possibilities and vet those possibilities, not only from a technical perspective, but also from an operational perspective.

The Security Integration Team must identify any internal processes that may be either eliminated or refined through the security systems integration. They must list these processes and vet them from a technical, budgetary and practical basis. They must also establish a budget and scope.

20 | FEBRUARY 2017 | SECURITY INSIDER

We then move into the most challenging phase, which is implementation.

A critical component of the implementation phase is communication to the security team.

This is especially important when the integration has a direct impact on existing security procedures.

Most organisations require that any project over a certain monetary threshold be competitively bid.

Successfully communicating the integration requirements to bidding contractors requires the development of performance specifications that provide very clear and specific direction to the Contractor about the functionality of the integration.

Identification of the specific systems, including model numbers, part numbers and software versions for existing equipment should be provided.

The key to success is translating the ideas that were developed during the brainstorming sessions by the Security Integration Team into technical documents focused on those requirements. Never assume that an outside entity understands your integration requirements. This is the biggest mistake that is made during these types of projects.

Once the Contractor has been selected, it is especially important to coordinate the work taking place with the end-users. Setting expectations for deliverables and successfully rolling-out the integration is important to the credibility of the project. An organised, methodical approach to

the execution of the project, as well as the testing and re-testing of the functionality before going live can establish a level of success and minimise failure in the eyes of those affected.

Once the project has been completed and the integration implemented there is a need for dayto-day management. A testing plan should be developed that is utilised on a weekly basis. Implementing an automated authentication of the integration during the implementation phase is an excellent way of verifying that the functionality of the integration stays intact. If there isn’t a method of automating the process, then a manual testing plan should be implemented.

Technical projects can live and die by the perception of staff.

Successfully implementing security integration shows all end-users that the process was thoughtfully planned, as well as providing a lasting effect on the security of your organisation, it’s employees and its assets. si

SECURITY PROVIDERS

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A PROVIDER

By Bryan de Caires, CEO, (ASIAL) Choosing the right security provider shouldn’t be a lucky dip. To make the right choice, it is vital to conduct a thorough due-diligence review of potential providers. To help you assess the credentials of a security provider, here are some criteria to consider.

1. Adequate/current insurance cover – view documents and ensure they are current and provide coverage suitable to your requirements.

2. A good reputation – investigate to ensure they have maintained good relationships with customers, are trustworthy and dependable.

3. References – request and check references to obtain a valuable insight as to the reliability and performance of the security firm.

ASIC and business search tools to check trading history can be very helpful.

4. Training – review the security firm’s training regime and request

supporting documentation to support their assertions.

5. Equipment – ensure equipment to be provided by the security firm is fit for purpose and meets all work health and safety requirements.

6. Costs – understand financial arrangements with the security firm regarding the planned invoicing cycle, rise and fall cost management, cost drivers, rate reviews, additional charges and award/agreement impact.

7. Written contract – defining the rights and responsibilities between client and security provider should be detailed and written.

8. Management – experienced management personnel with specialist expertise in the security industry will ensure effective delivery and well trained and supervised staff.

9. Security officers/technician qualifications – request evidence that only appropriately licensed and trained personnel work on

site. Licensing requirements vary from state to state.

10. ASIAL Membership – the ASIAL Member logo is a security provider’s mark of distinction.

To become a member, a security company, has to meet the highest standards of quality and service.

To enable a security provider to meet the established criteria and deliver the service, you need to clearly communicate the requirements through: • A concise statement describing the security activities to be performed.

• A detailed set of any special instructions.

• A nominated management representative to liaise between the business and the security provider.

Established in 1969, ASIAL is Australia's peak national security industry body, representing approximately 85 per cent of the security industry in Australia.

More than a Secure member of your Management Team MSS Security knows the value of team work in facilities management – that is why we are the chosen security partner of prestigious Australian commercial property owners and major property management companies.

TIPS FOR SECURITY

PROVIDERS

g

By Martin Leitch, Facility Management Consultant, FM Scope

Martin Leitch, a Facility Management Consultant with FM Scope, gives his insights on why C-suite executives are hesitant to spend on security, despite it being an asset and a vital aspect to operations running smoothly in any organisation.

T

he security industry needs innovation, especially in the commercial and industrial sectors. Innovation in security can be defined as the implementation of a new security approach or process that results in measurable increases in effectiveness or efficiency.

However, resistance from corporate-level executives is commonplace as system and equipment upgrades need to demonstrate quantifiable gains in productivity, profit margins, and security metrics before any financial decision is made.

Security is a strange beast because it’s seen as both a hard and soft FM service. You have alarm systems and door access security on the hard services side, then you have monitoring and security guards on the soft side.

And more often than not, that is why security often falls off the priority list for upgrades.

Boardroom executives mistakenly think of security as a soft service when it essentially is the gateway to all their other assets and investments.

At the end of the day, there’s two ways to tackle the problem and to get those who make financial decisions see the merit in investing in security upgrades and that the spend will directly translate into

22 | FEBRUARY 2017 | SECURITY INSIDER

profits.

Appealing to the fear factor could work, however the negative approach will just result in any upgrades becoming a grudge spend.

Explaining to finance controllers that systems that go without upgrades for too long are open to risks and attacks could work, but working on fear is a negative approach. What we need, is to change the mindset of the corporates and make them understand that these elements of FM services like security are all assets that they should invest in.

• Suggest a positive approach would be better, with security providers convincing those in the boardroom by demonstrating the value of their innovations and services.

Some suggestions for security companies when pitching: • Gather data that can demonstrate returns on investment • Case studies of successful system upgrades will convince those who hold the purse strings that an investment in security services will be an asset instead of a ‘luxury’ spend • A two-pronged approach is best: leveraging on the fear factor, but also showing quantitative data of benefits.

Organisations rarely hesitate to spend on upgrading IT infrastructure as the gains in terms of productivity and profits are quite clear-cut in that area. Security systems and IT in today’s market strike a very close relationship. In some buildings, security actually functions as an extension of IT. However, most IT services are outsourced, and thus, it’s a tricky situation as that would mean more responsibility for the facility manager to act as a middle-man between the offsite IT provider and the security system.

Then, in such situations, even if C-suite executives are keen on spending on security, plans often get shelved till IT contracts are up for tender. This is why the security market can be a little slow on the technology uptake. The facility management industry is still highly fragmented. You get areas of FM services working in silos, much like the example of IT and security when they should logically work in an integrated fashion.

A lot of education is still needed, and security service providers would only do themselves justice if they put together data and case studies when they take on the bean counters in the boardroom.

KASTLEPRESENCE GIVES YOUR BUILDING A VOICE

W

hile the idealised “smart building” may still be a few years away, Kastle Systems is delivering the future today with the KastlePresence smart office platform.

Keying in on three main areas of impact—human productivity, energy monitoring and security reach— KastlePresence uses the latest Internet of Things (IoT) innovations to give you and your tenants hands-free capabilities, location-based services, personalised security and occupancy data that can help make your offices happier, safer and more efficient, according to Kastle Australia General Manager John Gellel.

Incorporating Bluetooth across beacons, door readers and tenants’ mobile devices on top of a traditional access control system, KastlePresence anonymously collects occupancy data and statistics. But Gellel says the true value comes from what you do with that data. Not only can these affect decisions about

24 | FEBRUARY 2017 | SECURITY INSIDER

energy consumption and security, but they can also give occupancy or usage information regarding certain amenities (like huddle spots and gyms). This information can be stored and analysed in the cloud, then used to make a building more profitable for managers and more efficient for tenants as they can react to real-time insights and trends.

“If you save five minutes every day over the course of a normal year,” Gellel tells Security Insider, “that adds up to two and a half days of added productivity. And, according

they realise they only use 80% of their space, they may be able to save money and drive efficiencies by reconfiguring or reducing their space. The building, then, is able to lease out more of their space to more tenants.”

And for anyone who is concerned with the scope of it all, Gellel says Kastle “has a strong privacy policy in place and we absolutely live by that policy, so we don’t disclose personally identifiable information to anyone beyond what’s already disclosed in today’s access control systems. So, if you enter a secured space today with your keycard, we’ll know "Give you and your tenants whose credential was used—KastlePresence hands-free capabilities, follows the same basic location-based services, principles.” personalised security and Gellel says that the company is currently occupancy data." focusing on commercial to the McKinsey Global Institute, real estate—where it has deep office buildings alone have potential expertise— but Kastle plans to savings of $150B by implementing IoT bring the system everywhere, even technologies. Tenants can also use to properties with slightly different KastlePresence for space utilisation. If dynamics, like apartment buildings and university campuses.

As for the future of the Internet of Things, Gellel thinks we’re well down the path, marveling at the automation of the more mundane aspects of life, including depositing a cheque, hailing a cab and controlling a thermostat, to name a few. But one day, he says, we may reach the point where agriculture, power grids and other macro parts of our lives are part of the Internet of Things—“things that you don’t really think about today, but you’ll think about even less so in the future, will have a tremendous impact on how we live.” si

he Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Corporation (GOLDOC) has unveiled its bestpractice approach will create the largest security workforce this country has seen in a decade.

The customised approach will use the services of four primary security providers, experts in their field, with support from local security firms, to source, train and deploy more than 4,000 guards.

26 | FEBRUARY 2017 | SECURITY INSIDER

GOLDOC CEO Mark Peters said.

Games Corporation has appointed an all-Australian consortium of four primary security providers: • MSS Security Pty Limited • Wilson Security Pty Limited • SecureCorp (QLD) Pty Limited • Sydney Night Patrol & Inquiry Co Pty Ltd (SNP) “GOLDOC is confident that our primary security contractors will provide effective, professional, friendly and helpful security services for all GC2018 participants

and visitors,” Mr Peters said.

“The security workforce model has been carefully tailored to the needs of the Games to ensure we have considered global risks, local risks, past major event experience and the local environment, while also drawing on the strengths of our Australian security workforce.”

More than 30 per cent of the workforce deployed must reside in either the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Logan, Redland or Ipswich local authority areas ensuring job

opportunities and training for residents across the South East, GOLDOC Chairman Peter Beattie advised.

To increase the local pool of security providers, GOLDOC is working closely with the Department of Education and Training, the Office of Fair Trading and the Australian Security Industry Association Limited (ASIAL) to develop a training strategy that will seek to mitigate the risk of supply through a subsidised training

program. “As part of this program, individuals who express an interest in working as a security provider at the Games, and who meet agreed selection criteria, will be supported in the completion of a Certificate 3 in Security Operations, improving future job opportunities,� Mr Beattie said.

Minister for the Commonwealth Games, Stirling Hinchliffe MP said this initiative will help lift industry standards, equip the workforce for page 28

“We’re very conscious this is the largest event in Australia this decade and have developed this approach based on the learnings from previous Games and major event,” Mr Baade said.

“During Games time, participants and visitors will experience a visible security presence in and around venues, and security procedures such as screening measures, which are similar to those at airports.

“Public safety is our number one priority and we are determined to make sure all participants are able to enjoy the Games in the safe and friendly environment that they deserve.

“Queenslanders expect the Government and Games organisers to put in place the necessary measures to ensure a safe and secure event and this customised approach to deliver the appropriate security workforce is a key strategy

28 | FEBRUARY 2017 | SECURITY INSIDER

to achieve this.

“The approach delivers job opportunities leading into GC2018 and the enhanced training initiatives deliver good legacy outcomes for the individuals and industry as a whole.”

GOLDOC, Head of Security Danny Baade said representatives

“The GOLDOC security model is much larger than the recent G20 Summit held in Brisbane and has been designed to complement the work being delivered by our security partners.”

The majority of recruitment and training of security personnel will commence in 2017.

The theme for International Women’s Day 2017 (March 8) is #BeBoldForChange. It asks us to “call on the masses or call on yourself to help forge a better working world - a more gender inclusive world”.

Last year, organisations and individuals around the world supported the #PledgeForParity campaign and committed to help women and girls achieve their ambitions; challenge conscious and unconscious bias; call for gender-balanced leadership; value women and men's contributions equally; and create inclusive flexible cultures.

From awareness raising to concrete action, organisations rallied their people to pledge support to help forge gender parity on International Women’s Day (IWD) and beyond.

Among them was MSS Security.

In 2017, the UN is calling for bold pragmatic action to accelerate gender parity. To inspire you to #BeBoldForChange, we wanted to share with you the following case study. For more information on International Women’s Day, visit www.internationalwomensday.com.

FORGING A BETTER WORKING WORLD

SS Security believes that achieving a gender and cultural balance in the workplace is a longterm commitment. As the security industry has evolved, so has the need to develop initiatives to recruit and support employees from any age, gender or culture whom will consistently exceed stakeholder expectations. Increasing female participation continues to be a strong focus of MSS Security; one which holds responsibility at all levels of the organisation and in 2016 the business’ approach was recognised in the Australian HR Awards 2016 as a finalist in the Best Diversity and Inclusion Program.

MSS Security recognises its diverse workforce makeup and the benefits this brings to its organisation and clients, including but not limited to; • Attracting the best talent • Enhancing organisational performance • Increasing innovative business practices • Fulfilling the service needs of an increasingly diverse client base MSS Security’s success in a challenging, diverse and geographically dispersed environment is categorically attributed to the people representing the business.

Its employees at all levels display an unwavering commitment to their

responsibilities, with their actions underpinned by, and aligned to the Company values of integrity, teamwork, attitude, performance and passion.

The approach of the Company, recognised by industry has included a wide range of initiatives, the aim of which has been to embed the behaviours and initiatives at all levels to ensure long term success. Starting with ongoing compliance with the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012, the organisation’s diversity related initiatives have included;

RECRUITMENT An increased focus on creating awareness in the market for female security positions which has resulted in an increase of greater than 12% females commencing employment with the business.

INDUSTRY WOMEN CENTRAL MSS Security has continued to partner with Industry Women Central to have MSS Security’s brand projected to a community showcasing employment for females in traditionally male dominated environments. This partnership allows MSS Security to promote the security industry on the IWC website and its social media forums, providing access to a wider range of women and assisting our work to change the public’s perceptions about security as a viable

industry for women seeking a longterm career move.

REFERRAL PROGRAM MSS Security has many long serving employees who are proud to work for the business. When employees refer a successful candidate they are rewarded with a $50 gift voucher.

If the referred employee remains employed for 6 months they are rewarded with a further $50 gift voucher.

MSS Security particularly encourages applications from females and indigenous candidates interested in joining the industry or those who wish to advance their career by working with MSS Security. For indigenous and female referrals, MSS Security employees receive an additional $25 value on their gift voucher (total of $75) at commencement and after 6 months.

Since commencing the referral program, 102 referrals have been submitted by employees of which 21% have been female candidates.

WHITE RIBBON DAY In 2015, MSS Security commenced activities in Victoria to support White Ribbon Day and its work to prevent violence against women. Following the overwhelming support from clients and employees alike, in 2016 this support extended to South Australia, Northern Territory, Head Office and the

The resultant effect was that since 2015, MSS Security has purchased approximately 3,500 White Ribbons for employees as a charitable donation.

Participating employees in respective business units wore their white ribbons and encouraged discussion amongst our workforce about domestic violence and raised awareness and opportunities for support to those who may be affected.

INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS

ASIAL NEGOTIATES

COMMONWEALTH

GAMES AGREEMENT

g

By Chris Delaney, ASIAL Industrial Relations Advisor

On 21 December 2016, after almost eight months of discussions, ASIAL and United Voice reached agreement in principle on the detail of a Multi Employer (Greenfields) Enterprise Agreement (MEEBA) covering work by security personnel at the 2018 Commonwealth Games to be held on Queensland’s Gold Coast, Townsville and Cairns.

Over the past two years, the 2018 Commonwealth Games Organising Committee (GOLDOC) has undertaken a process of benchmarking the security provider deployment models at past Commonwealth and Olympic Games. It has also completed a detailed analysis of the procurement options to secure and deploy an integrated security provider workforce required to support the 2018 Commonwealth Games. This included the engagement of an independent consultant to support this research activity. A clear finding of the research was that in the Australian context that no single security provider was capable of supplying the workforce required for the Games and that a single supplier model carries a higher level of level 38 | FEBRUARY 2017 | SECURITY INSIDER

of delivery risk.

By way of example, the London 2012 Olympics experienced a critical shortage of security officers.

This led to a loss of confidence in the organising committee and the private security provider, which in turn caused reputational damage to the event and those involved with the security operations.

Further, it became apparent, having regard for the difficulties experienced at other major events, that the number of prime contractors needed to be capped at a manageable level if an integrated security workforce was to be achieved.

These findings prompted GOLDOC to consider a different model of procurement. It identified that several major private security providers collectively working

in partnership on training, licencing, logistics, transportation, accommodation and meals was the preferred delivery model.

Subsequently GOLDOC invited several major Australian security providers, Queensland Police, Office of Fair Trading and the Australian Security Industry Association Limited (ASIAL), as the peak body representing the security industry, to attend a series of workshops to consider and provide advice on the supply of security officers to the Games.

Security providers identified a number of concerns that needed to be addressed in order to minimise supply issues associated with such a large deployment, including: • Exposure to liability based on reliance on and subsequent non-performance of competitors

INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS

under a sub-contractor arrangement; • The reputational risk of another Security Provider’s failure to provide staff; • Previous negative experiences with staffing issues for major events; and the security issues experienced in the lead up to the London Olympics in 2012; • Harmonisation of licencing requirements, and in turn; • Managing training for security staff across multiple suppliers; • Servicing existing clients during the Games; • Ensuring a high standard of service necessary to avoid reputational damage; and • Managing licencing, logistics, transportation, accommodation and meals; The group determination was that these issues and risk best be overcome through a consortium or partnership approach, which would mitigate the risk and improve the opportunities for a successful model.

Insofar as industrial relations was concerned it was also agreed that a Multi Employer Enterprise Bargaining (Greenfields) Agreement was the best option to incorporate all of the safeguards, ensure all security providers operated under the same arrangements and provide security officers with better pay and conditions than the Security Services Industry Award 2010 as an incentive to be involved.

As a result GOLDOC requested ASIAL (as the peak security industry association) to draft, negotiate and file with the Fair Work Commission a Multi Employer Enterprise Bargaining (Greenfields) Agreement (MEEBA) to cover private security services for the provision of approximately 4200 security personnel to work at the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast in 2018.

The Fair Work Act 2009 (The Act)

provides that any multi-enterprise agreement must be a ‘Greenfields Agreement’ if it is made before any employees are employed to work on a new project or undertaking.

The benefits of making a Greenfields Agreement include: • the Agreement containing terms and conditions suited to the particular project / undertaking; • the Agreement providing certainty about the terms and conditions that will apply to the workforce; • the assurance that there will be no protected industrial action during the life of the Agreement; and • the requirements under the Act regarding notice of representational rights and preapproval steps.

A Greenfields Agreement is an Enterprise Agreement that can be made between an employer or two or more employers and one or more relevant employee associations (i.e a trade union) if: • the agreement relates to a genuine new enterprise; • the employers have not employed any of the persons who will be necessary for the normal conduct of the enterprise and will be covered by the agreement (in this case the Commonwealth Games); • the union or unions that will be covered by the agreement are entitled to represent the industrial interests of the employees who will be covered by the agreement; • it is in the public interest to approve the agreement; and • the agreement meets the approval requirements under the Act (e.g meets the Better Off Overall test, is compliant with the National Employment Standards, does not contain any unlawful terms etc.).

ASIAL has drafted a MEEBA in

consultation with the nominated prime contractors and has been negotiating with United Voice since May 2016. The MEEBA will provide for the needs of the Games, offer attractive wages and conditions for employees, and allow employers to deliver private security services that will meet the needs of GOLDOC. The MEEBA was drafted by ASIAL’s Industrial Advisor Chris Delaney and, after consultation with the Prime Contractors, United Voice and GOLDOC, it has been refined to meet the needs of all parties.

In principle agreement was reached with United Voice on 21 December 2016 and once signed by the parties, documents are expected to be filed in January 2017.

Key features of the Agreement include: • Above award rates of pay and conditions for participating security officers; • Penalty rates in accordance with the Security Services Industry Award 2010 (the award); • Covers only directly employed Security Officers – no ABN holders will be engaged to work at the Games; • Allowances, including meal, per diem and Games Allowances; • Access to overtime opportunities throughout the competition phase; • Prime contractors to supply the majority of Security Officers; • Prime contractors may only subcontract one level down; • Subcontractors must pay in accordance to the Agreement; • Subcontractors may only engage direct employees; and • Prime contractors must accept SECURITY INSIDER | FEBRUARY 2017 | 39

INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS

responsibility for wages and entitlements of all security officers; To facilitate employees’ availability to attend work at the Games GOLDOC has committed to: • Meet the cost of air travel for interstate security officers; • Meet the cost of air travel for guards deployed to Cairns and Townsville; • Provide all accredited security personnel with access to free public transport during the Games Competition period; • Provide a dedicated bus services from accommodation venues to place of work where public transport is not convenient or readily available; • Source and book accommodation for all guards required to live away from home;▪ • Provide office accommodation for specified personnel; • Provide a daily out-of-pocket allowance for guards required to live away from home; • Provide meals and/or meal allowances for security personnel required to live away from home; • Provide an on duty meal for all guards during the operational phase; • Meet the mutual licensing costs for all interstate guards; • Provide safety vests and/or polo shirts, wet weather apparel and a hat for issue to Tier 1 personnel; • Procure and issue radios and associated equipment for use by security personnel; • Develop a logging and incident reporting solution; • Provide facilities for the storage of equipment; • Provide shelters, lighting and other temporary workplace infrastructure; • Provide venues and facilities to conduct training, orientations and briefings; and • In partnership with the Queensland Department of 40 | FEBRUARY 2017 | SECURITY INSIDER

Education and Training, a subsidised Certificate 3 training program for candidates residing on the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Ipswich.

This is the largest event to be held in Australia (over multiple venues) in many years and GOLDOC and ASIAL are committed to ensuring a security workforce which is appropriately trained, licensed and available to deliver a safe and friendly Games to all stakeholders.

Where Prime Contractors cannot supply the required number of security officers they may subcontract from other suppliers but only to one level down and only to security contractors who: • Commit to provide pay and conditions no less than in the MEEBA; • Provide only security officers who are direct employees; and • Are subject to Queensland Office of Fair Trading auditing standards for security providers.

Under the Prime and Subcontractor arrangement, a prime contractor enters into a prime contract with GOLDOC, and sub-contractors enter into a subcontract with the prime contractor.

The prime contractor agrees to provide the services in their entirety to GOLDOC, and enters into subcontracts with participants on a back-to-back basis, under which those sub-contractors provide services to GOLDOC. Some advantages for GOLDOC in the prime and sub-contract arrangement include: • The prime contractor retains responsibility to the principal (GOLDOC) for the acts and omissions of the sub-contractors.

In effect, the prime takes legal responsibility for the subcontractors; • The structure is flexible allowing GOLDOC and the participants to negotiate terms including

allowing the participants to contribute to the venture and share in the costs of the project in whatever proportions they agree; • The Fair Work Act 2009 provides an opportunity for prime contractors to negotiate a single workplace agreement (Multi Employer Enterprise Bargaining (Greenfields) Agreement ensuring universal pay and conditions for employees; and • GOLDOC and he prime contractors have a direct role in managing the project.

Security personnel deployed during the Bump in, Lockdown and Bump out phases will be drawn from the Gold Coast, Logan, Ipswich or Brisbane local authority areas.

The number of personnel deployed will be progressively increased during the Bump in and Lockdown phases and staged to support the venue overlay program.

The actual number of personnel required in each phase cannot be confirmed until detailed planning is finalised for each venue.

This project, which is a vital part of the delivery of the Commonwealth Games, has been and will continue to be dependent upon strong cooperation, flexibility and goodwill by all parties.

GOLDOC, the Prime Contractors, United Voice and ASIAL have worked together to produce a platform that will support GOLDOC’s mission to “conduct an athlete focused Games with excellent competition in a fun and friendly environment with long lasting benefits for the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia and the Commonwealth”.

There is still a lot of work to do in preparation for the Games. ASIAL will continue to work diligently and cooperatively with all stakeholders to achieve the best possible outcomes for the provision of a successful Commonwealth Games. si

CABLING CORNER

NEW PATHWAYS g

By Jane Capizzi , Cabling Registrar, ASIAL

Updated and released in November 2016, the ACMA Cabling provider rules – Pathways to cabling registration outlines the training pathways for an individual wanting to become a registered cabler.

This document updates the pathways with changes to the ICT10 Integrated Telecommunications training package, now the ICT Information and Communications Technology training package. Here’s what you need to know about the updates and how they effect you.

What are the major changes?

These changes will not affect registered cablers except for registered cablers who let their cabling registration expire for a period of more than 12+ months, or those looking to upgrade or add specialist competencies.

If you are renewing an expired cabling registration (expired over 12 months) you will need to contact your registrar to renew, as it will be a separate renewal process.

The changes will however apply to those applying to become cablers.

For those who have completed training prior to the New ICT training package being released, registrars will still accept statement of attainments or transcripts with competencies from the ICT10 Integrated Telecommunications training package when applying for registration.

If you have an expired cabling registration and it’s been expired for under 12 months, all you’ll need do is pay the renewal fee and update any contact details (if they’ve changed) with your registrar.

If it’s over 12 months but under five years expired, please contact your registrar to discuss your renewal options.

What to do if you are affected by these changes?

What requirements do I have to meet to register?

The updated ACMA document has now taken effect and new applicants, training providers and registrars need to be aware that a new training package, ICT Information and Communications Technology, is in place.

Who will be affected by these changes?

If you’re a new cabler, you may be undertaking the competencies of the new ICT Information and Communications Technology training package with your training provider.

42 | FEBRUARY 2017 | SECURITY INSIDER

As defined in the updated ACMA document, there are three summarised requirements that an applicant must satisfy to be eligible to be issued with a cabling registration by a registrar:

CABLING CORNER

1. Completion of the applicable competencies of the UEE11 or ICT training packages listed in charts 1–5 in the Pathways document including the OH&S/WH&S component.

2. A letter or certificate from the training provider showing the applicant has achieved a minimum 80 per cent pass mark of the ACMA mandated test – i.e. 30 question test for a Restricted registration OR 50 question test for an Open registration.

3. Proof of practical on the job experience - 80 hours of experience is required for a Restricted registration OR 360 hours for an Open registration.

Top tips to keep in mind when applying for your registration - Appropriate certificates for the specialist competencies/endorsements are only required if the cabler intends to undertake that type of cabling work (i.e Structured Cabling, Coax Cabling, Optical Fibre, Underground and Aerial).

- An applicant must show they have completed the OH&S/WH&S requirement in their training OR hold a White Card (or equivalent) AND a current First Aid certificate to meet that requirement.

- Cabling experience can also include any installation/maintenance/repair work on: • Security cabling • Carrier networks • Mains electrical cabling • MATV/pay TV/terrestrial TV installations • Home theatre cabling

- Unregistered cablers must be directly supervised by a registered cabler when undertaking telecommunications customer cabling work. The supervisor holds full accountability of the work performed by the unregistered cabler.

Top tips for maintaining your cabling registration 1. Regularly check your emails as we send out cabling registration renewal notices and industry updates to keep you informed.

2. Notify ASIAL as soon as possible of any updated contact information so that you do not miss any renewal notices and industry updates.

3. Inform ASIAL of any further training completed when upgrading from a Restricted to an Open Registration OR adding any specialist competencies/endorsements so that your cabling registration is up to date and in line with the work you undertake.
