As the saying goes ‘winners are grinners’ and that was certainly the case at the recent Australian Security

Industry Awards for Excellence dinner held at The Ivy Ballroom in Sydney. The awards provided a great opportunity to showcase the positive contribution our industry makes to the Australian community. As you will see when you read through the article on page 24 of this issue, the calibre of nominations was of a very high standard. It is pleasing to be able to acknowledge such excellence in our industry.

In his life prior to politics, our guest and speaker for the evening Geoff Provest (NSW Parliamentary Secretary for Police and Emergency Services) was actively involved in the management of licenced clubs, including the use of security services. The evening and awards opened his eyes to the many positive changes and growing level of professionalism now exhibited by the industry.

Since the last issue of Security Insider we have launched two exciting new member benefits, the ASIAL Health Plan and ASIAL Safe Workplace Management (SWM) system. Both of these initiatives have been well received with a number of members already enrolled.

On a separate matter, I would like recognise the effort and resources being provided by the Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO) to help strengthen government procurement practices. ASIAL and the FWO have been working on the Local Government Procurement Initiative for more than a year. The website (www.fairwork.gov.au/procurement)

provides helpful and practical information for local government on the procurement practices that should be engaged when identifying and selecting security services providers. I encourage you all to review these documents.

In other news, the Australian Electoral Commission has recently declared the results of the ASIAL Board elections. The following directors were declared elected:• President–KevinMcDonald• VicePresident–ChrisLuhrmann• Directors-RodAnderson,

Brian Foster, John Gellel, Mike McKinnon,NeilMcLeanandDamianWatersA copy of the post election

report is now available online in the ASIAL member’s area. I would like to welcome our two new board members Brian Foster (SNP Security) and John Gellel (Honeywell Security).

Finally, I would like to wish you all a happy holiday period and look forward to the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in 2015.

After more than a decade, theSecurity 2014 Exhibition andConference returns to Melbourne

in early June. Judging by the strongresponse from exhibitors, the long awaitedreturn has been well received.This year’sevent will run from the 4-6th June at theMelbourne Exhibition & ConventionCentre.

It is now nearly 30 yearssince a small group of ASIALindustry representativesorganised the first industryexhibition. It is pleasing to seethat the event continues to gofrom strength to strength andprovide an opportunity for theindustry to showcase theimpressive array of products and servicesit offers.Through the ongoing partnershipbetween Diversified CommunicationsAustralia and ASIAL, the Associationcontinues to play a key role in helping toshowcase the industry’s capabilities.

This year’s expanded exhibition floorspace and outstanding conferenceprogram provides an excellent opportunityto view the latest security technologies,hear from internationally renownedexperts, as well as network and socialisewith industry colleagues from across thecountry.

Another important industry event Iwould like to bring your attention to is the19th Annual Australian Security IndustryAwards for Excellence to be held inSydney on the 23rd October 2014. Ourindustry performs an increasinglyimportant role in the Australian economyand it is important that this is recognisedthrough awards programs such as this.Nominations are now open for the awards,so I urge you to consider lodging anapplication. Further details are available onpage 28 and through the ASIAL web site.

Later this yearASIAL’s board electionswill be conducted by the AustralianElectoral Commission. Members will benotified in due course by the AEC about

arrangements for the election.Thisprocess allows for every Duly AuthorisedRepresentative of a financial corporatemember the opportunity to submit apostal vote.

In my previous President’s Message, Iwrote about the importance of goodgovernance practices. Failure to do the

right thing more often than notwill result in negativeconsequences for yourorganisation.

As an Association ASIALactively enforces itsProfessional Code of Conduct,a position matched by ouractions.The ASIAL Board’srecent decision to expel

Hootspah Pty Limited from itsmembership and to impose a $120,000financial sanction and specificcompliance requirements on the KingsSecurity Group highlights this.Thecontinuation of the Kings Security Group’sASIAL membership was conditional onaccepting and complying with payment ofthe sanction and meeting specificcompliance requirements.The companyadvised that it was unable to maintain itsmembership as required by the ASIALBoard, and as a result theirASIALmembership was relinquished.

Whilst it is important to learn from themistakes of others, it is equally asimportant to understand that complianceis not a dirty word. For our industry togrow and flourish, it is vital that wedevelop a stronger culture of compliance.

Finally, I look forward to seeing many ofyou at Security 2014 in Melbourne or laterin the year at the 2014 Australian SecurityIndustry Awards for Excellence.

The Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO) has launched a new website to help provide answers to this question. FWO, ASIAL and United Voice have been working together on the Local Government Procurement Initiative, which aims to strengthen the procurement practices of

local councils, starting with how they procure security services. The website answers frequently asked questions, provides helpful information and resources – including case studies and questionnaires, sample clauses to use in your contracts, pay guides and the option of signing

up for updates about changes to workplace laws. Visit www.asial.com.au/news for more information and links to the site.

ASIAL has launched a new member benefit to provide assistance with Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) compliance obligations.

CSD GROUP has announced that a 50 per cent shareholding has been acquired by a coalition of three senior management staff and New Zealand based security distributer, Atlas Gentech.

Long-time industry stalwart Vin Lopes has been looking to cement future plans for his businesses - Inner Range Pty Ltd and Central Security Distribution Pty Ltd - since the retirement of his business partner, Doug Frazer.

Mr Lopes explained that Atlas Gentech has a virtually identical product portfolio to that of CSD in Australia and he is looking forward

to “working with the exciting new blend of business experience and high-tech youthful energy” that he now has around the board room table.

The re-structured Trans-Tasman Group already operates with almost zero debt and has significant cash reserves. With more than 200 employees and combined revenues exceeding 100 million dollars, Mr Lopes predicts it should prove a worthy contender.

“With this new adrenalin burst the companies are well placed to continue the stellar growth that they have enjoyed in recent years,”

Mr Lopes said. “The Group is confident that they will be a driving force within the security industry for some time to come.”

Inner Range has a substantial technology development facility in Melbourne and a European sales office in the UK pushing its new Integriti product suite into countries all around the world. In early 2015, a CSD branch is expected to commence operation in the ACT, with the group now looking for acquisitions to expand their activities in its core areas of technology development and distribution.

ASIAL CEO Bryan de Caires gave a keynote address at the recent Critical Infrastructure Security Seminar, hosted by the Embassy of Sweden and Business Sweden at the InterContinental Hotel in Sydney.

His address provided an update on the latest industry trends, shared aspirations for the future and discussed the importance of recognising the value of strategic partnerships, particularly between public and private sector security

providers.The keynote speaking session

was opened by the Ambassador of Sweden, Pär Ahlberger, and included: Acting Assistant Commissioner, Glen McEwen; Dr Len Sciacca, Chief Partnerships and Engagement, DSTO; Ray Mauritsson, CEO, Axis Communications AB; Mark Slade, General Manager Security, Communications and Traffic Management, Saab Australia Pty Ltd.

One of the issues discussed at length during the networking

sessions was the struggle to develop a definition of ‘security’; one that adequately captures the diversity of the industry. How do you define ‘security’? Email [email protected]

CHRISTMAS IS A prime time for break and enters and theft. So as the silly season fast approaches the Australian Security Industry Association Ltd (ASIAL) is reminding home and business owners they need to get serious about security.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) there were 203,438 unlawful entry with intent offences recorded in 2013 and almost 70 per cent of them involved the taking of property.

NSW had the highest number of incidents, recording 58,584. Victoria and Queensland followed, with 45,122 and 41,289 respectively. Then: Western Australia – 35,438; South Australia – 14,354; Tasmania – 3,484; Northern Territory – 3,098; ACT – 2,069.

ASIAL has issued a media release providing consumers with some practical security tips to prepare for the Christmas and holiday period. In addition, the Association has developed a consumer awareness video campaign using the story of Little

Red Riding Hood to highlight the importance of only using licenced and reputable professionals. Watch the video at www.asial.com.au/news/video and share it on social media. RECommEndaTIonS foR CCTv SYSTEmSThe Australia New Zealand Policing Advisory Agency (ANZPAA) has released an information document that makes a series

THE RECENT AUSTRALIAN FEDERAL POLICE alarm monitoring services request for tender specified an ASIAL A1 graded certification, evidencing the value of participating in the ASIAL monitoring centre certification program.

ASIAL member named 2014 Victorian Small Training Provider of the Year

Providing training and recruitment services to the security industry, Complex Training Academy recently won the 2014 Victorian Small Training Provider of the Year Award.

The Victorian Training Awards promote and reward outstanding achievement and innovation in vocational education and training, and acknowledge the strong partnerships between training providers and Victorian businesses that are vital to providing a strong skills base for

Victoria.The award was collected by

CEO Andrew Shea who explained Complex operated as a security company throughout Victoria for more than two decades before entering the Vocational Education and Training sector in the 2000.

Since this time Complex Security Management Pty Ltd, recently changed to Complex Institute of Education Pty Ltd (CIE), has traded as Complex Training Academy and helped students achieve more than 30,000 security qualifications.

CIE has and continues to work with many of Australia’s leading security companies, providing quality staff in the areas of guarding, crowd control, armed guard, Cash-In-Transit, control room/monitoring centre, security management, private investigations, technical (electronic) security, First Aid and

aviation screening/security.“Although prior to 2014 training

has primarily been conducted within Victoria, CIE is registered with the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) and has recently expanded its delivery nationally,” Mr Shea said.

“With the company’s growth and recent investment through the inclusion of aviation screening/security training, technical (electronic) security training, and the delivery of training services around Australia and within the Chinese market, the company is excited to continue its reputation as one of Australia’s premier security training providers.”

MY VERIFIED ID is a new identity verification and authentication technology platform that enables positive online identification that can help businesses and individuals reduce fraud, operating costs and criminal activities while increasing conversion rates.

Co-Founder and CEO of My Verified ID, Rodolphe Belin said the platform takes online identity verification and document authentication to a new level, adding solutions such as voice and face biometric recognition technology.

He believes the platform will benefit businesses, enterprises and government agencies alike; enabling them to authenticate their online users while reducing

risks associated with their online transactions and data exchange, and meeting AML and KYC compliance.

“This is the first plug and play, identity verification integrated with face biometric recognition, voice biometric authentication and digital signatures system. Organisations can be 99.9 per cent certain of someone’s identity,” Mr Belin said.

“With My Verified ID Identity as a Service (IDaaS) a user only needs to be verified once and can reuse the same verified authentication to sign-in and gain access to a network, file system, authorise a payment or, with its qualified digital signature, sign any document online.”

paST pRESIdEnTS aCknowlEdgEdAT THE RECENT Australian Security Industry Awards for Excellence dinner, ASIAL President Kevin McDonald presented Past Presidents Ged Byrnes and Antony Elliott with a certificate of recognition for their contribution to the Association.

Having been elected as NSW Chair in 1994, Antony Elliott provided 21 years of service to the Association, including time as a member of the Executive, a Director and as President for six years. During this time as an operator of a successful small business, he had to juggle the demands of his own business with those of the Association. Throughout, his commitment and support to the

Association has been unfaltering.Similarly, Ged Byrnes has been

a passionate supporter of the Association since being elected Victorian Chair in 1995. He has spent two decades as a member of the ASIAL Executive and as a Director, including six years as President. Like Antony, Ged has had to juggle the demands of his own growing business with those of the Association. During his time as a Director, Ged has been a tireless supporter of both the Association and the ASIAL Secretariat team.

Under their terms of leadership the Association has grown and flourished to become the successful organisation it is today.

Both Ged and Antony chose not to seek re-election at the recent ASIAL Board elections conducted by the Australian Electoral Commission.

SECURE moRE TImE and pRofIT wITH SImpRoBLUI SECURITY AUSTRALIA owner Bozidar Jovanovic is a great example of the journey that many business people take when they implement simPRO Enterprise to help them reach their business and personal dreams.

Not long ago, Bozidar was running BLUi, which installs and monitors alarms, access controls and CCTV out of Boz’s Brisbane home. The switch to simPRO has helped him to hit his ambitious growth targets while working less hours and spending more time with his family.

As the company’s efficiency has improved, Bozidar has opened a new office, hired a full time sales executive to drive growth and added an extra service vehicle.

According to Boz, installing simPRO was a great decision that has already helped his business and his lifestyle.

IMPROVING SERVICEsimPRO has cleared away the

bottlenecks and paper shuffling which used to cause delays on jobs. “We’ve noticed that our jobs run a lot smoother,” Bozidar said. “We’re starting

them sooner, the quotes are getting out sooner and our clients are getting exactly what they want.”

BETTER COST CONTROLBetter job tracking has meant that

BLUi is saving money through less waste which translates

into bigger profits. “The main benefit for us has been that as a job runs, we’re able to control the costs a lot better. Our

sell price hasn’t changed but our margin has actually

improved because we’re not running jobs over time.”

LESS HOURS IN THE OFFICEIt used to be hard to know the

status of any job. Boz would quote a job and then a technician would install the equipment and the accounts person would send the invoice. To find out the status of that job Boz would need to speak to two other people.

“simPRO has given me more time because I can track the jobs that I’m taking care of, and that the business has taken care of, just by having a look at the system,” Bozidar said. “So I’m starting a little bit later, I’m finishing a little bit earlier, and I’m getting more done as the result.”

FASTER BUSINESS GROWTHInstalling simPRO has

turbocharged the growth of BLUi because the extra profits can be reinvested to drive growth.

Reaching Personal goals Installing simPRO is not just about creating growth for growth’s sake. It is about the dreams Bozidar can achieve with more time and money.

“A pretty important goal for me is to take the kids overseas to see some of the sights around the world,” Bozidar said. “I think definitely having simPRO will help me achieve that because I don’t want to just close the door and walk out. I still want to have a finger on the pulse.”

ADVICE FOR OTHERSAfter his success with simPRO,

Bozidar has this advice for other business owners.

“Make sure you’re getting the most out of your time and the most out of all your team members. An integrated system like simPRO will help you get the best out of everyone, including yourself.”

Established in 2002 in Brisbane, simPRO Software is the global leader in job management software for the services and contracting sector.

2015 IS SHAPING UP to be a pretty risky year according to The Impact of Mobile Devices on Information Security: A Survey of IT and Security Professionals, with the majority of respondents predicting the number of mobile security incidents will increase next year.

The report is based on the annual global Mobile Security Survey on the impact of mobile devices on corporate information security, sponsored by Check Point Software Technologies.

Despite 95 per cent of more than 700 respondents indicating employees using their own mobile devices at work creates security challenges, 91 per cent have seen an increase in the number of personal mobile devices connecting to their networks over the past two years.

In fact, 56 per cent of those surveyed in 2014 managed business data on employee-owned devices, up from 37 per cent the previous year.

2014 also saw an increase in

remediation costs for mobile security incidents; 42 per cent of respondents noting that mobile security incidents cost their organisations more than US$250,000.

“Through the 2014 Mobile Security Survey, it is clear that IT professionals are not seeing an end to mobile security threats,” Managing Director for Australia and New Zealand at Check Point, Mr Hansen said.

In fact, they’re bracing for it, with 82 per cent of respondents predicting the number of mobile security incidents to increase next year and 98 per cent expressing concern about the impact of a mobile security incident.

Eighty-seven per cent perceive careless employees to be the greatest mobile security threat (interestingly, only 13 per cent cited cybercriminals or hackers).

When asked about their greatest concerns, lost or stolen information topped the list (82 per cent). Introducing security weaknesses for future attacks (61 per cent), compliance violation and fines (43 per cent), plus the cost of replacing lost or stolen devices (31 per cent) followed.

The most common challenge faced by organisations adopting a BYOD policy is securing corporate information (72 per cent), followed by managing personal devices that contain corporate and personal data and applications (67 per cent), and

tracking and controlling access to corporate and private networks (59 per cent).

Mr Hansen said the survey and subsequent report reinforce the importance of implementing a strong combination of technology and security awareness throughout an organisation.

mobIlE SECURITY InCIdEnTS ExpECTEd To RISE In 2015

Mobile security is of utmost concern as the number of personal devices connecting to corporate networks continues to grow. Sensitive corporate information is easily transported outside of managed environments, while the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) movement has dramatically increased the risk of expensive security incidents.

g By Kirsty Jagger, Marketing & Communications Manager, ASIAL

Results of the State of Information Security Survey 2014 reveal detected security incidents have increased over the pass year, but the Asia Pacific region is best equipped to deal with them.

9,600 participated in the annual worldwide survey conducted by PwC, CIO and CSO magazines, with data analysis revealing the Asia Pacific region has taken the lead in investment in securities technologies, processes and spending.

Average information security budgets increased by 51 per cent worldwide last year; 85 per cent in the Asia Pacific, allowing the region to pull ahead of others in developing and implementing effective security programs.

Greater investment in security technologies is linked to a 25 per cent hike in the number of detected incidents, PwC Principal Mark Lobel believes. “In that regard, increased detection of security incidents should be seen as a positive development,” he said.

HEalTHY pEoplEHEalTHY pRofITSg By danni Hocking, principal, people Risk Solutions, aon Hewitt

It is of no surprise that corporate Australia is under an ever-increasing pressure to attract and retain superior talent. Savvy businesses are now giving serious consideration as to how they can differentiate their employee value proposition by offering innovative benefits to attract the right talent and increase profitability.


AON HEWITT’S 2012 Best Employer research demonstrates that organisations who invest in their people, manage them well and contribute to their overall state of wellbeing achieve double the revenue growth of other organisations, and nine per cent more profit per employee.

With measurable links between employee health and productivity, many organisations are implementing ‘wellness’ programs aimed at improving the health of employees and the health of their bottom line.

A key component of an employee’s total benefits solution is having access to an affordable health insurance program. Waiting lists at hospitals are on the rise, fees to visit the GP are also higher than ever. This is a major deterrent for seeking health interventions. Add this to the cost of a retail health insurance product which may be prohibitive for a low income employee, and the outcome will be a negative effect on the workplace due to increase absence and reduced engagement.

More and more employers are embracing the research and case-based evidence that higher employee engagement leads to increased productivity. These organisations are utilising and promoting wellness programs as part of their employee engagement strategy, as well as to

prevent and manage absence.In 2013 the Australian Bureau

of Statistics published the results of the 2011-2012 Australian Health Survey. Unsurprisingly, modifiable lifestyle diseases are becoming more prevalent and are a considerable burden on our health system.

Modifiable lifestyle diseases are a group of diseases that share similar risk factors because of exposure, over many decades, to unhealthy diets, smoking, lack of exercise, and possibly stress.

Characterised by high blood pressure, tobacco addiction, high cholesterol levels, diabetes and obesity, modifiable lifestyle diseases can result in high mortality rates attributable to stroke, heart attack, tobacco/nutrition-induced cancers, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, renal failure and many others.

These conditions not only have a negative effect on an individual, but research suggests that the impact on that individual’s workplace as a result of these conditions is considerable.

Being overweight or obese increases a person’s risk of developing cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and/or Type 2 diabetes. In 2011-12, 63.4 per cent of Australians aged 18 years and over were overweight or obese, comprised of 35 per cent overweight and 28.3 per cent obese. The prevalence of

HEalTH In SECURITY


HEalTH In SECURITY

overweight and obese Australians has increased over time and has led to an increase in absentee rates. The total financial cost of Type 2 diabetes is estimated at $10.3 billion. Of this productivity losses were $4.1 billion

All of these conditions can directly and indirectly affect your company’s profit margin as a result of increased absence, low engagement and high presenteeism.

IN THE WORkPLACEFor employers seeking to mitigate people risk, reduce absenteeism within businesses and enhance productivity, tailoring wellness solutions can have a great impact to a workplace’s overall health.

Employers are taking a variety of approaches to overcome these challenges. Programs such as quit-smoking, subsidised gym and exercise programs and counselling services are helping employers reduce the impact of physical health conditions on their bottom line.

Access to discounted health plans enable sick employees to access immediate medical treatment, thus reducing down time and enhancing recovery.

Your employees’ health should be important to you. Not only does an individual’s health affect their wellbeing, but it also influences their productivity, morale and ultimately the organisation’s profitability. In today’s business world, the health of your employees has a direct influence on the health of your company, so why wouldn’t you want to influence it?

Aon Hewitt believes that the key to successful corporate wellness programs is alignment to organisational business strategy, rather than adopting a silo approach. In this way, a wellness program is directly influencing costs related to human capital, as well as promoting engagement and productivity.

One of the most important elements to keeping your office healthy is to encourage employee self-care by empowering your staff to


make decisions based on their own individual wellbeing. The goal of the organisation is to encourage people who move from being high risk back into the low risk category.

ASIAL has partnered with Bupa to offer choice of heath covers to your employees. It all starts with Bupa membership, which makes it easier

for employees to proactively manage their health. Bupa members may also be eligible for access to health programs, nicotine replacement therapy, phone-based health coaching for certain medical conditions, chronic health condition support and more. You would have recently received emails outlining the details of the plan and how to promote this within your organisation.

More frequently companies in Australia are investing in health and wellness programs to complement their WHS and HR policies. To really develop an effective program, organisations need to understand the risks inherent in their demographic profile.

“Investing in the health of your human capital – of the people who generate your profits and fill your workspaces – yields untold dividends to your bottom line,” says Hocking. “Investing in the health and wellness of people in your business is a sound investment in your business itself.

Likewise it makes sense to ensure your investment is aimed at the issues pertinent to your workforce.”

Bupa Australia will provide ASIAL with a payment on a quarterly basis that will be calculated as a percentage of the premium received from members of the ASIAL Health Plan. The funds generated will be directed specifically towards initiatives to address work, health and safety issues within the industry. We are interested in hearing from members about the issues affecting your workforce. Please watch out for a communication in the new year that will ask for your input.

WHAT CAN YOU DO RIGHT NOW?If you haven’t already, extend the offer of the ASIAL Health Plan to your employees. Register your interest to hold onsite activity and to obtain marketing collateral by emailing [email protected].

fESTIval SECURITY

ISSUES faCIng mUSIC fESTIval SECURITY pRovIdERS

MUSIC FESTIVALS are becoming increasingly popular among young Australians. They attract tens of thousands of music-lovers, most of whom are well behaved; they pay for their tickets and enjoy an incident free day. But there are a small number of people putting others, and indeed the music festival industry itself, at risk: fence jumpers.

WHAT MOTIVATES A FENCE jUMPER?It’s hard to ascertain exactly why people are launching themselves at and over fences, but Jim Fidler, Director of Secure Events & Assets (SEAA), believes some see it as a sport.

“What would you ask your staff to do if a crowd charged a festival fence?” Jim was asked.

“Take a step back in case the fence collapses, round up as many fence

jumpers as possible, escort them out a side gate and expect to see them again in about 30 minutes. We can catch the same people three or four times per festival. It’s not that they want to get in for free; fence jumping is a game to them,” he said.

Sonja Semmens, Events Director at Australian Concert and Entertainment Security (ACES), believes the roots of fence jumping have a strong correlation with equity and access.

“Fence jumping is highly prevalent at ‘over 18 Licenced events’, which are highly attractive to under 18 patrons who are fans of the entertainment. Affordability and sold out events further drive fence jumping activities,” she said.

“Age restrictions are predominately implemented as an efficient and cost

effective control for alcohol distribution. One of the impacts of this is exclusion. Our interaction with individual fence jumpers indicates that this exclusion invokes anger which gives momentum to attempts to access events by fence jumping.

“The perceived inequity prompts them to communicate (primarily via social media), gather social cause and express this cause by banding together as a crowd to ‘invade and overwhelm’ fence lines and other perimeter ‘weaknesses’.”


A security guard was seriously injured during a music festival at Randwick in September, when a large group of people gained unauthorised access to the Centennial Parklands event. As the group was jumping a fence, police say a 29-year-old security guard was assaulted and suffered critical injuries. He was treated in hospital for a ruptured spleen and internal bleeding. As the Australian festival season reaches its peak, Security Insider looks at current issues facing the industry in relation to festival security.


fESTIval SECURITY

WHAT CAN BE DONE TO DETER FENCE jUMPING?When the security guard was injured at Randwick, media contacted ASIAL asking whether or not there should be more fencing at festivals.

The Association’s response was that fence jumping is a perennial issue; the most effective way of minimising the risk being to conduct a thorough risk assessment and ensure that there is close collaboration between police, security, organisers and venue. The risk assessment should determine the security response.

“The more fences you put up, the greater the cost; it costs the promoters

who then have to pass that cost onto actual paying customers. Ultimately putting a festival on will no longer be financially viable. Fence jumpers are ruining it for everyone,” Jim said.

“The larger festivals in the UK and Europe use the likes of Steel Shield fences that are metres tall and people still try to get through.

“I’d like to start seeing them get hit in the hip pocket. There should be stronger penalties for fence jumpers. And if they can’t pay their fines they should lose their licence for a period of time.”

Sonja thinks that harsher penalties will not necessarily act as the greater deterrent.

“Risk assessment needs to focus on incident causation. The current focus is on risk controls. The key issue that should be addressed is how to resolve the circumstances that initiate this inherently dangerous activity,” she said.

“Fence jumpers are often law abiding citizens whose desire to attend events overrides their normal behaviour. The behaviour is enhanced by the typical rebellion of the age demographic (frequently 16-18 years) and the constraints of the law in offences for minors.

“Risk assessment needs to be initiated earlier and prior to determining event age profiles and licensing


fESTIval SECURITY

conditions. Risk managers should thoroughly research age demographics and foreseeable crowd behaviours to reduce the likelihood via causation and determine the vulnerability of event controls not just treat the consequences. This includes social media, ticket sales data and fan sites.”

THE NEED FOR NATIONAL STANDARDS, BETTER EDUCATION AND TRAININGWhat both Jim and Sonja agree on is the need for National Standards for event planning and operations (including security) – a view shared by ASIAL.

Despite the Recommendations from a 2002 Coronial Inquest – which called for a ‘working party’ to devise guidelines for promoters with the intention they be adopted as a ‘National Code of Conduct’ – nothing formal exists.

Sonja identified ‘the lack of formal Codes of Conduct or Minimum Standards for event planning and operations, including security operations (ideally based on ISO31000 Risk Management) and the lack of an overall body to regulate standards’ as a major issue facing the industry.

“This results in inconsistent practice and increased public safety risks,” she said.

Jim pointed to The Purple Guide to Health Safety and Wellbeing at Music and Other Events, drawn up by the Events Industry Forum in consultation with the UK events industry, including representatives from regional and national government, as something Australia should aspire to.

The guide goes beyond compliance with the Health and Safety at Work Act and covers not only legislation and good practice for health and safety, but other legislation and good practice across the industry.

In fact, Jim is also turning to the UK for the further education and training of his staff.

“Australian security guards are taught basic crowd control, which basically means they are taught how to physically remove an individual from a location. We need to expand our boundaries

with regards to training and education, especially in the areas of Crowd Management and Spectator Safety,” Jim said.

“I am currently, and as an employer, having to seek specific education and training in Europe and the United Kingdom, with two of our staff currently engaged in degrees in Crowd Management and Event Safety. A proactive approach is need in Crowd Management, not Crowd Control which is reactive.

“As a company we have been facilitating workshops with Charles Sturt University and Professor Keith Still in Crowd Risk Analysis, this resulting in approximately 40 attendees being eligible for a Level 5 Diploma in Crowd Science through the UK.

“We are also currently working alongside other educational organisations with regards to Crowd Management, Event Safety and Spectator Management (from BA to Masters).”

Sonja believes current Australian security training reflects international best practice when conducted by quality registered training organisations (RTOs) with expertise in the industry, and by those with relevant qualifications and experience in risk management and crowd management.

“Other Australian university academic qualifications possessed by Australian crowd management leaders (in Risk Management, Work Health and Safety and Security Management) reflect excellence in education/qualifications appropriate for security crowd management.”

WHAT ARE THE LEGALITIES WHEN SECURITY STAFF ARE INjURED?“All WHS duty holders involved with festivals have a primary duty of care to ensure the health and safety of security guards is not put at risk. This includes provision of work environments without risks to health and safety,” Sonja said.

“Incidents and injuries arising from interaction with fence-jumpers are subject to the same standards as any other worker injury.

“In practice there remain significant issues around determining what is reasonably practicable in the context of fencing infrastructure and the behaviour of fence jumpers. The determination of what is reasonably practicable is yet to be tested by case law.

“Multiple PCBU’s (Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking) are making decisions related to ensuring the health and safety of workers and others in festival workplaces. Often the employer cannot control what is reasonably practicable to meet their duties under Work Health and Safety (WHS) legislation. Risk analysis is often rudimentary and the hierarchy of control is not always appropriately applied when weighing up what is reasonably practicable.

“Frequently the duty to consult is not appropriately implemented (both with other duty holders and with workers). Often the persons approving safety or risk management plans are not appropriately qualified to do so.”

The increasing prevalence of multiple security contractors in various areas/functions at a single event can also create a lack of clear control, issues with cross liability and risk management account ability, Sonja said.

Jim said he uses CCTV to gather evidence against fence jumpers.

“If one of my guys was injured, the offender would be arrested and charged, and I’d take it as far as I possibly could in the courts. But realistically it goes through Workers’ Comp, so the business ends up paying for someone else’s stupidity anyway.”

30 YEaRS of SECURITY

TAkING OFFThe early 1980s saw considerable development across the security industry. Accessible technology equipped security guards with new skills, advances in biometrics included iris scanning, Apple Macintosh launched home computing and Australia digitalised its fingerprint databases.

Some of these advances, among others, were showcased at the inaugural Security Exhibition & Conference; an initiative of the Australian Security Industry Association Limited (ASIAL). The year was 1986; the same year ‘Guards and

Security Officers’ were introduced into Census reports.

People engaged in security functions outside the more traditional public police are now increasingly involved in a vast array of policing responsibilities on a daily basis. The most commonly identified roles include activities that may be best described as ‘order maintenance’, including crowd control, property management, guarding and patrolling, the escorting of prisoners and court security.

But private operatives are also active in crime prevention consulting, risk management and insurance

assessment, weapons training, crime scene examination, surveillance activities (including CCTV monitoring), private investigations, assistance with forensic evidence-gathering, information technology advising, hi-tech systems development and communications support.

The 1990s saw a rapid expansion of these roles. Consequently, there were formal revisions of industry regulation across Australia, followed by a period of legislative and industry stability.

RAPID ExPANSION Australia followed an international


THIRTY yearS OF SECURITYAs Australasia’s premier security industry event approaches its 30th anniversary, we take the opportunity to consider how the Australian industry has evolved over the past 30 years and what will influence the ever changing face of security in the future.



trend of substantial growth in security services (Sarre & Prenzler, 2011) and the Security Exhibition & Conference reflected it; in 1999, the 14th Security Exhibition & Conference was a sell-out event.

The exhibition displayed the latest in alarms, access control, CCTV and more; conference delegates listened intently to local and international speakers on a range of topics; technology forums looked to the future…

And it was an exciting time to be looking to the future because, not only was the industry growing in numbers, technology was evolving and changing the face of the security.

The 1990s and 2000s were characterised by the start of the move away from the analogue era towards the IP age.

Control panels moved to micro processers offering greater functionality and download capability; alarm transmission moved from Securitel to IP and GPRS for higher security applications; CCTV cameras came of age, with higher resolution images becoming the order of the day following developments in analogue

technology; and the Sydney 2000 Olympics were on the horizon, with a $100 million security budget.

TURNING POINTAssisting Sydney Organising Committee for the Olympic Games and the Olympic Police Command Centre put ASIAL in the driver’s seat in helping develop world-class cooperation between the industry and public bodies, including police and emergency services, and in the lead up to the Olympics a special security exhibition was held at Goulburn Police Academy.

In this way, the Sydney 2000 Olympics were an important turning point for both public and private sectors of the security industry. But an even more significant turning point was only a year away; the tragic events of 9/11, which understandably sparked security concerns the world over.

The 9/11 attacks changed the security landscape forever. Security professionals have since been increasingly called upon to play a role in protecting critical infrastructure; the number of Australian security businesses jumping from 1,714 in

1999 to 5,478 in 2006-07.And just as the security industry

entered a new phase, so too did the Security Exhibition & Conference. By the end of 2006, Diversified Communications Australia acquired the exhibition. In conjunction with Diversified Communications Australia, ASIAL continues to be actively involved in the organisation of the conference , gala dinner and cocktail reception.

In the post-9/11 world, it was not surprising to find out that the security industry was growing at a faster rate than both the increasing growth in police numbers and the Australian population. Available figures also indicated the industry was much larger in numbers than conventional police personnel (Sarre & Prenzler, 2011).

The new security environment has fostered greater collaboration between the public and private sectors, with the most recent illustration being joint efforts to enhance security measures in light of the National Terrorism Public Alert level being raised from Medium to High.


LOOkING TO THE FUTUREThree factors will continue to see the security industry play an ever growing role in safeguarding the interests of business, government and the wider community:• Theemergenceofexcitingand

dynamic new technologies –continue to create new business opportunities for security industry professionals. These new technologies also present new training opportunities, which will in turn continue to contribute to the:

• Increasedprofessionalismofthesecurity industry – particularly due to the emergence of tertiary qualifications in specialist security fields. Many security specialists are also embracing traditional business qualifications, giving rise to a new generation of hybrid security professionals.

• Thechangingnatureofpublicpolicing - police forces across the country are coming under growing pressure to find ways to gain greater operational efficiencies (Owens, 2014). To achieve this they will work together with the private security industry, and/or look to

outsource some of their operations.Moving forward, expect to see

more rapid advancements in technology and continued growth in demand for private security services.

SECURITY ExHIBITION & CONFERENCE 2015Just as the security industry continues to evolve, grow and prosper, so too does the Security Exhibition & Conference.

This year’s event was hailed the most successful but we are looking forward to making 2015 the best show yet!

of security innovation at Melbourne from 15-17 July 2015. Visit www.securityexpo.com.au for further information on exhibiting or visiting.

Local GovernmentProcurement InitiativeASIAL and the FairWork Ombudsman(FWO) have been working together forthe past year to develop an educationcampaign targeting Local Governmentwhich aims to shift the focus from priceto performance. In 2014 FWO plans toroll out the first phase of the initiative, aneducation campaign to be taken directlyto local councils, their procurementmanagers and councilors.

The message is simple: individualsinvolved in the procurement of servicesat prices that can only be supported bythe payment of below-award wagescould be found to be personally liable forcontraventions of the Act and themodern award.

ASIAL and FWO are in the process offinalising Model Tender Clauses and aModel Workplace Management Plan aswell as information on wages and on-costs so that procurement managerscan make more informed decisionswhen awarding tenders.We are alsodeveloping communication strategies toensure that the key messages reachtheir target audience.

In time, we expect that our work withFWO on the Local GovernmentProcurement Initiative will eventually

extend to other levels of government.ASIAL is committed to working with allGovernment agencies to develop fairand transparent guidelines that willproduce certainty and confidencethroughout the supply chain, resulting ina more professional private securityindustry.

Consultation required forchanges to regular rosters andordinary hours of workFrom 1 January 2014, changing regularrosters requires consultation withaffected employees due to theintroduction of amendments to the FairWork Act 2009 (the Act).

The new provision, section 145A ofthe Act, applies to all Modern Awards inoperation on or immediately before 1January 2014.The section now requiresemployers to consult with all permanentemployees and any casual employeeswho have a reasonable expectation of aregular and systematic pattern ofworking hours about any change to theirregular roster or ordinary hours of work.

The section gives employees thefollowing rights in relation to changes totheir regular working hours:• consultation about a change to their

regular roster or ordinary hours ofwork; and

• representation, if desired for thepurposes of that consultation.

An employer must:• provide information to the employees

about the change; and• invite the employees to give their

views about the impact of the change(including any impact in relation totheir family or caring responsibilities);and

• consider any views about the impactof the change that are given by theemployees.

The requirement in section 145A 'toconsult with employees' was noted in a

decision of the FairWork Commission tomean that there is a requirement toprovide information about the changeand a genuine opportunity for theaffected party to put their views aboutthe proposed change and have themconsidered by the employer.While youshould consider the views of youremployee you do not have to agree withor act on them.

THEfAR-REACHINg EFFECtS OF REDuNDANCY

MOST MODERN AWARDS have clauses dealing with change of contract usually contained in a Consultation clause e.g. in the current Security Services Industry Award 2010 “Clause 8.3 Consultation regarding change of contract” employers are expected to: • notifyemployees28days,orassoonas

practicable, before an existing security contract is due to expire, or when the employer has been notified that the contract has been terminated.

• adviseemployeesinwriting,ofoptions(ifany) for suitable alternative employment if the contract is losto if no suitable alternative employment

can be offered notify affected employees of details of their entitlements (including accrued annual leave) and a statement of service, and

• facilitateameetingbetweentheincomingcontractor and outgoing employees who are not offered suitable alternative employment with the employer.But that is not the end of it. It is not an

automatic exemption and an employer must first apply to the Fair Work Commission (FWC) to vary the redundancy pay due to the employee.

“Obtained” Acceptable Alternative Employment Permanent Full time and Part time eIn these

circumstances the Fair Work Act 2009 may then be requested to determine rights to redundancy pay and the FWC will consider if all or some of the redundancy entitlements can be set aside if the outgoing employer has “obtained acceptable alternative employment” for the employee.

The key to the approach taken by the FWC is whether the employer “obtained” suitable alternative employment for affected employees.

In a recent case the original application made by the security industry employer seeking exemption for redundancy payments was accepted by the Commissioner and later overturned on appeal to the Full Bench of the FWC.

The employer claimed it had obtained acceptable employment with the incoming contractor for the relevant employees as it:• Hadaseriesofdiscussionswith

incoming contractor representatives about employees’ future engagement by them;

• Providedtotheincomingcontractorcontact details about those employees who agreed to allow their details to be passed on;

• Providedtheincomingcontractorwithinformation about the arrangements within the employers Enterprise Agreement; and

• Providedadvicetotheincoming

contractor that it paid the employees “their wages up to and including the final day . . . together with all accrued leave entitlements”.The Commissioner was satisfied that the

outgoing employer had obtained employment for the relevant employees with the incoming contractor and provided an exemption and, in one case, a partial exemption, from the requirement to make severance or redundancy payments to employees engaged by the incoming contractor.

On appeal the union on behalf of the employees submitted that there was no evidence that the outgoing employer had secured an agreement or commitment from the incoming contractor that it would make offers of employment to the relevant employees or the terms on which such an offer would be made.

The interpretation of the word “obtained” for the purposes of this and similar cases has been considered in several matters in recent years. In this matter the Full Bench found:

“The word ‘obtains’ does not appear in its context to mean actually obtain in the fullest sense possible. In circumstances like those occurring at the company one employer is incapable in law of effecting a contract of employment between his employee and another employer whether by assignment or otherwise; the creation of

What happens to your employees when you lose a contract can have far-reaching effects on your business. Here we consider the problems faced by employers and liabilities for redundancy pay when a contract changes hands.


the legal relationship of master and servant depends on a mutuality being arrived at between the individual and the incoming employer. Therefore, the pursuit of alternative employment by the outgoing employer cannot be expected, by reason of itself alone, to produce new employment; there will usually and perhaps always remain the opportunity for the incoming employer, and the employee, to disagree as to matters such as terms of employment, suitability of the job to the employee and vice versa so that alternative employment may not eventuate.”

It went on to say: “It follows that ‘obtain’ must be given some lesser meaning. The Shorter Oxford Dictionary (3rd ed revised) provides as its relevant meaning, the definition of ‘obtain’ as ‘to procure or gain, as the result of purpose and effort’. It seems to us that meaning is of assistance here; that is, the employer by purpose and effort may establish an opportunity which suits the employee and which crystallises as alternative employment of an acceptable kind.”

Referring to Allman v Teletech International Pty Ltd the Full Bench noted that: “The encouragement and facilitation of a process is not the same as doing everything possible to ensure a result. Arranging alternative employment means bringing about that employment should the employee choose to accept it”.

The decision of the Full Bench was that the outgoing employer did no more than facilitate the entry of its employees into the recruitment processes of incoming contractor. Therefore the outgoing employer was required to make redundancy payments.

N.B. The outgoing employer has lodged an appeal against the decision of the Full Bench. This is not likely to be heard until mid 2015.

What is Acceptable Alternative Employment?In a different matter before Fair Work Australia (FWA) in 2012 the Commissioner dismissed an application made by an employer for its redundancy pay liability to a technician to be reduced to zero.

The employer claimed that it had obtained two other positions for the technician whose

position was redundant. The employer submitted that it had informed another manufacturer that the employee was looking for work and had requested an interview. As a result there was an interview and there were discussions about a job. The employee was offered a lower paid position, which would have paid him $9.50 per hour less than what he had previously earned.

The Commissioner stated that what constitutes “acceptable alternative employment” needs to be determined on an objective basis and involves consideration of factors such as pay levels, location and travelling time, hours of work, seniority, fringe benefits, whether the work is of a like nature and job security. The onus is also on the employer who makes the application to prove that the other employment is acceptable.

N.B. These principles may also apply to redeployment within the employers business if rejected by the employee.

Transfer of Business and Transfer of EmploymentIt is important not to confuse the scenario in these two cases with a “transfer of employment” situation (which can occur when an employee is transferred between associated entities or where there is a “transfer of business” between two non-associated entities). Where there is a “transfer of employment”, an employee will not be entitled to redundancy pay if their new employer recognises their service with their former employer for the purposes of redundancy pay. Also, an employee who rejects an offer of employment by another employer in a “transfer of employment” situation will not be entitled to redundancy pay if the offer:• isontermsandconditionsnoless

favourable overall than the terms and conditions that they had with their old employer; and

• recognisestheemployee’sservicewiththeir former employer for the purposes of redundancy pay.

What it means for employersEmployers should be very careful when faced with situations that may result in a change of contract and potential redundancies. It is

strongly advised that in such circumstances you do not assume that there is no obligation to offer redundancy pay in circumstances.

Only after taking professional advice on implementing the changes and understanding the process that must be followed to me both award and legislative provisions should employers consider applying to FWC for an exemption.

Entitlement to redundancy paySome employees don’t get redundancy payments when their job is made redundant.

The following employees don’t get redundancy pay:• employeeswhoseperiodofcontinuous

service with the employer is less than 12 months

• employeesemployedfor:o a stated period of timeo for a identified task or projecto for a particular season

• employeesterminatedbecauseofseriousmisconduct

• casualemployees• traineesengagedonlyforthelengthofthe

training agreement• apprentices.

There are special arrangements for employees whose employment transfers when the business they work for is sold.

Employees of small businessesA small business is one that employs fewer than 15 employees. Some small businesses don’t have to pay redundancy pay when making an employee redundant.

To determine whether the business is a small business, count:• allpermanentemployeesemployedatthe

time of the redundancy• theemployeeandanyotheremployees

being terminated at that time• regularandsystematiccasualemployees

employed by the business at the time of the redundancy (not all casual employees)

• employeesofassociatedentities.The size of the business is counted the

earliest of:• whentheemployeeistoldtheir

employment will be terminated, or• whentheemployeeisgiventheirnoticeof

termination.
