Safety and Security Management Plan

Use our Plan to Develop your own Human Safety and Security Management
Program

Our Human Safety and Security Plan defines a process that you can use to develop and implement your own unique Human Safety and Security Management Program. If you follow the six steps that make up our Plan, you'll end up with a comprehensive Human Safety and Security Management Program, one that will help you to protect the people you're trying to protect. These steps are as follows:

Perform a Human Safety and Security Analysis
Develop your Human Safety and Security Management Program
Document your Human Safety and Security Management Program
Implement your Human Safety and Security Management Program
Evaluate your Human Safety and Security Management Program
Improve your Human Safety and Security Management Program

As you can see, our Plan not only shows you how to develop, document, and implement a Human Safety and Security Program, it also shows you how to evaluate and improve it. The latter two sections give our Plan a dynamic influence that will help ensure that your Human Safety and Security Program continues to improve over time.

While you will start with a very general plan, you'll end up with a very specific Human Safety and Security Program, one that will meet your unique human security needs. All you need to do is follow the steps that make up our Human Safety and Security Plan.

In order to make it easier to manage and control the development of your Human Safety and Security Program, we've set it up as a Form. If you purchase our Plan, you'll notice three columns on the right hand side of every page. These columns will allow you to assign tasks to the people who'll be building your Human Safety and Security Program. In addition, you'll be able to record start and finish dates.

Security Concepts
and Definitions

In order to work with our Human Safety and Security Plan, you need to understand a few simple concepts and definitions.

Security Threat. A security threat is a potential hazard. A threat does not actually exist as a real event or object. It's not an actual danger. It's only a potential danger. It's still very important; it just doesn't exist in the usual way. It exists as an idea, not as an actual event or object.
Security Hazard. When a security threat turns into reality, it becomes a hazard. When a security threat is actualized or becomes real, it becomes a security hazard. However, at this point, people have not yet been harmed. While people may have been exposed to a hazard, it's only a potential disaster, not an actual disaster.
Security Disaster. When people actually come into direct contact with a hazard, you've got a real security disaster. You've got a situation in which people have experienced serious misery and suffering, or loss of life.

As you may have noticed, the above concepts can be placed on a continuum that ranges from the potential world of ideas to the actual world of events. This continuum starts in the world of potential hazards (threats), and ends up in the actual world of disasters. This continuum describes what we call the Security Disaster Development Process.

On a purely theoretical level, this boils down to a process of actualization or realization: sometimes, dangerous ideas are realized. More precisely, security threats (ideas) sometimes becomes disasters (destructive events). We point this out for those who are philosophically inclined and wish to pursue these concepts at a more theoretical level.

Types of threats, hazards, and
disasters

We also talk about eight general kinds of security threats, hazards, or disasters. Under each of these eight categories,
you will find a detailed list. In effect, these detailed lists
define the eight general categories. The following
material will show you what we mean:

1. Terrorist threats, hazards, and disasters

Bomb threats, hazards, and disasters
Missile threats, hazards, and disasters
Chemical threats, hazards, and disasters
Biological threats, hazards, and disasters
Nuclear threats, hazards, and disasters
Hijacking threats, hazards, and disasters
Kidnapping threats, hazards, and disasters

2. Criminal threats, hazards, and disasters

Death threats, hazards, and disasters
Assault threats, hazards, and disasters
Extortion threats, hazards, and disasters
Kidnapping threats, hazards, and disasters

3. Industrial threats, hazards, and disasters

Fire threats, hazards, and disasters
Electrical threats, hazards, and disasters
Chemical threats, hazards, and disasters
Structural threats, hazards, and disasters
Mechanical threats, hazards, and disasters
Radiation threats, hazards, and disasters

4. Natural threats, hazards, and disasters

Fire threats, hazards, and disasters
Flood threats, hazards, and disasters
Storm threats, hazards, and disasters
Volcanic threats, hazards, and disasters
Earthquake threats, hazards, and disasters
Hurricane threats, hazards, and disasters
Tsunami threats, hazards, and disasters
Avalanche threats, hazards, and disasters
Climatic threats, hazards, and disasters

Animal threats, hazards, and disasters

5. Technological threats, hazards, and disasters

Genetic threats, hazards, and disasters

Biological threats, hazards, and disasters
Radiation threats, hazards, and disasters
Electrical threats, hazards, and disasters

6. Environmental threats, hazards, and disasters

Air quality threats, hazards, and disasters
Water quality threats, hazards, and disasters
Food quality threats, hazards, and disasters
Soil quality threats, hazards, and disasters

7. Economic threats, hazards, and disasters

Food shortage threats, hazards, and disasters
Water shortage threats, hazards, and disasters
Fuel shortage threats, hazards, and disasters
Housing shortage threats, hazards, and disasters

8. Political threats, hazards, and disasters

Legal threats, hazards, and disasters
Arrest threats, hazards, and disasters
Extortion threats, hazards, and disasters
Death threats, hazards, and disasters
Torture threats, hazards, and disasters
Imprisonment threats, hazards, and disasters
Enslavement threats, hazards, and disasters

As you've probably noticed, there is some apparent overlap between the above eight categories. For example, we classify a fire threat as both an industrial threat and a natural threat. However, if you think about it, you'll recognize that an industrial fire is quite different from a natural fire. Industrial fires usually involve buildings while natural fires include forest fires and grass fires. The same basic logic usually applies to other threats that are listed under more than one category.

How to Perform a Human Safety and Security Analysis	As you may recall, the first section of our Human Safety and Security Plan asks you to perform a Human Safety and Security Analysis. The purpose of such an analysis is to identify the most serious human security risks so you can do something about them. More precisely, you will use the results of such an analysis to develop, document, and implement your Human Safety and Security Program. Your Human Safety and Security Program will address the risks identified by your Human Safety and Security Analysis. Our Human Safety and Security Analysis has five parts: Perform a Human Safety and Security Threat Analysis Perform a Human Safety and Security Exposure Analysis Perform a Human Safety and Security Vulnerability Analysis Perform a Human Safety and Security Disaster Analysis Perform a Human Safety and Security Risk Analysis Each of these five parts will be introduced below.
	Perform a Human Safety and Security Threat Analysis A Threat Analysis starts by asking you to identify the most dangerous threats to human safety and security. It asks you to consider eight kinds of potential threats: terrorist, criminal, industrial, natural, technological, environmental, economic, and political. Next it asks you to estimate the probability that each of these potential security threats will turn into an actual hazard.
	Perform a Human Safety and Security Exposure Analysis An Exposure Analysis starts by asking you to study how people become exposed to or come into contact with various safety and security hazards. It asks you to think about how people get exposed to eight types of security hazards: terrorist, criminal, industrial, natural, technological, environmental, economic, and political. Then it asks you to estimate the probability that people will actually become exposed to these safety and security hazards.
	Perform a Human Safety and Security Vulnerability Analysis A Vulnerability Analysis starts by asking you to identify the things that make people vulnerable to safety and security hazards. It asks you to identify the things that make people vulnerable to eight kinds of hazards: terrorist, criminal, industrial, natural, technological, environmental, economic, and political. Next it asks you to determine how vulnerable people are to these safety and security hazards.
	Perform a Human Safety and Security Disaster Analysis *A Disaster Analysis* starts by asking you to study what happens to people during a disaster. It asks you to study what happens to people during eight types of disasters:** terrorist, criminal, industrial, natural, technological, environmental, economic, and political. Then it asks you to estimate how much human misery and suffering would actually occur during a disaster.
	Perform a Human Safety and Security Risk Analysis A Risk Analysis asks you to study the risks that threaten human safety and security. More precisely, it asks you to start by studying the results of the previous four analyses. In particular, it asks you to: Study the most dangerous threats to human security. Study the security threats that are likely to become hazards. Study how people become exposed to security hazards. Study the things that make people vulnerable to hazards. Study what happens to people during serious disasters. Study the misery and suffering that occurs during disasters.
	On the basis of this information, you can then identify the most serious risks to human safety and security. You can then identify the terrorist threats that pose the most serious risk to human safety and security, the natural threats that pose the greatest risk, and so on for each of the eight types of threats. At this point, you may be wondering how you're going to use these rather abstract ideas. Don't worry. It's all quite practical. It all comes together very nicely in one simple Human Safety and Security Analysis Form. This Form is, of course, part of our Human Safety and Security Management Plan.

But before you can actually carry out a Human Safety and Security Analysis, you need to select a Target Group. These are the people who need to be protected. Target groups can include at least the following:

Children
Employees
Passengers
Customers
Contractors
Suppliers
Workers
Guests
Patients
Athletes
Clients
Visitors
Guards
Citizens
Leaders
Students
Managers
Audiences

Organizations
Communities
Companies
Factories
Offices
Hotels
Hospitals
Airports
Seaports
Stadiums
Buildings
Stores
Malls
Plants
Churches
Temples
Mosques
Synagogues

Once you've completed a Human Safety and Security Analysis for each Threat, you're ready to develop, document, and implement your own unique Human Safety and Security Management Program.
