Personal Security Tips

Posted by Marcus Drake on Tuesday, January 3, 2023, In : Personal Security 
We don’t live in the safest of worlds and it is always better to prevent than to cure, isn’t it?



We have plenty of resources to learn how to keep our homes safe and how to make all our travels secure. But how about daily, run-of-the-mill safety?

We usually don’t think that something bad would happen to us every day we go to work for instance – as it would drive us mad – but some precautions don’t hurt. 



  • Always be engaged in situational awareness – meaning to keep attention at every...

Safety tips for women

Although women feel more vulnerable when they’re out, it’s actually young men who are a higher risk of violence.
In this day and age, you have to prepare yourself for whatever may come your way. There are people out there who are just looking for targets and you want to make sure you’re not one of them.



Keeping safe whilst walking

Always try to walk facing on-coming traffic to avoid kerb crawlers (men who drive around looking for prostitutes).

Safety tips for working after hours

Posted by Spartan 24 Hour Security on Saturday, September 30, 2017, In : Personal Security 

We’ve all done it—worked into the late hours of the morning only to realise that we’re now alone, the staff car park is deserted, and no one knows where we are. Working late and on weekends is often a necessary evil, but it’s important to take precautions to avoid safety issues when you do have to burn the midnight oil. 



Notify
Tell your boss that you’re working late. Notify internal security staff; in some cases this also includes building security. In fact, program the number for bu...

What to do if a dog attacks you

Posted by Spartan 24 Hour Security on Tuesday, September 26, 2017, In : Personal Security 
Even though dog bites are relatively common, full-blown attacks are not. It is important to know what to do in the unlikely event an attack happens.



What type of behaviour do dogs normally exhibit before attacking?

There is no one size fits all when it comes to the signals a dog gives before attacking, and while the signs of aggression such as growling, snarling, baring teeth and lunging are easy to read, there can also be signs that are so subtle, such as a moment of tension or a small freeze,...

Know the bus or train times


It sounds obvious but knowing the time your train or bus is due to leave will save you hanging round on dark platforms or at bus stops at this time of year. It's particularly important to know the time of the last bus or train home if you are travelling late at night so that you do not become stranded - and vulnerable to attack.

Catch your bus or train from somewhere well lit

Thieves are far less likely to strike in well lit areas so try to make sure that you catch yo...

Security tips for women

Posted by Spartan 24 Hour Security on Wednesday, June 5, 2013, In : Personal Security 

When travelling on your own by foot or public transport, especially to a destination you haven't been to before it pays to stay alert to what's going on around you. Always take your mobile phone and tell a family member or friend you'll call them when you reach your destination. Send them texts throughout your journey so they know you are OK. Take the busiest and most well lit route, if travelling by bus always sit close to the driver. If by train, try and sit in a compartment with other peop...
