Physical Security Training Course

This hands-on course equips participants with essential skills to safeguard facilities, people, and physical assets across a range of operational contexts – from corporate offices and field camps to industrial sites and logistics hubs. Participants learn how to assess physical vulnerabilities, implement layered deterrence, and respond effectively to real-world threats such as intrusion, sabotage, civil unrest, or targeted theft.

Whether you’re managing security for a regional office, overseeing oilfield compounds, or operating in environments with limited law enforcement support, this course builds your team’s ability to apply physical security best practices in practical, resource-constrained settings. It also introduces the core principles of CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design), helping organisations design or adapt physical spaces that naturally deter crime, increase visibility, and enhance overall safety.

Key modules include:
• Site vulnerability assessment techniques
• Access control principles and layered defence
• Physical barriers, surveillance systems, and lighting
• “4 D’s” of physical security (Deter, Detect, Delay, and Deny)
• Facility lockdowns, room hardening, and ‘safe haven’ concepts
• Intrusion detection and incident response protocols
• Evacuation, invacuation (‘shelter-in-place’ strategy), and emergency planning integration
• Insider threat awareness and personnel movement control
• Compliance with ISO 22341:2021 | Security and Resilience – Protective Security
• In line with HSE standards, and OSHA guidance

The course includes site-based exercises, table-top scenarios, and sector-specific case studies. It is ideal for security focal points, corporate risk managers, HSE/SSHE teams, and operations personnel tasked with physical asset protection or involved in internal or third-party security audits.

By the end of the programme, participants will be able to evaluate facility risks, develop site security plans, and contribute to a stronger culture of preparedness and resilience within their organisation.
