The 21st Century Challenge
Response Capabilities
Throughout the oil and chemical industries, plant managers, EH&S directors, and security
managers are facing a new challenge. Together with environmental, health and safety,
security is becoming a major regulatory area; and in the ONG and chemical sectors,
regulatory compliance is critical. How can managers best protect personnel, assets and
business continuity? A partnership with Securitas USA delivers:
The Securitas USA organization is designed
to meet facility, regional or national
emergency response needs. Securitas
USA has the management, staff, personnel,
planning and strategic partnerships in place
to deliver additional manpower to meet
local emergencies or threat level increases.
Securitas USA demonstrated that by rapidly
deploying hundreds of additional officers to
refineries and chemical plants after Hurricane
Katrina, and thousands of additional officers to
critical infrastructure after 9/11.

A Partnership with Securitas USA
Securitas Security Services USA can partner
with you to manage security resources, meet
business goals, and accomplish security’s
evolving missions. We have been providing
security services to the oil, natural gas and
chemical industries for decades. Currently,
over 2,600 Securitas USA officers serve
America’s petroleum and chemical industries.
These clients span the country from New
England to Hawaii, from Alaska to Florida. Their
operations include upstream facilities, pipeline
companies, tank farms, refineries, chemical
plants, chemical distribution warehouses, and
corporate campuses. Every week, Securitas
USA officers work over 100,000 hours helping
to protect our ONG and chemical clients.
When turnarounds, natural disasters, and other
business emergencies occur, our management
team and professional staff provide our
clients with the additional emergency security
resources and help they need.
Safety
We are committed to the safety of every
employee. We support this effort through
initial safety training, ongoing refresher and
awareness training, and behavior-based
training programs which address both the
physical hazards and the at-risk behaviors
• benchmark selection, training and
technology.
• outstanding quality management.
which cause accidents. Securitas USA has
twice been nominated for national contractor
safety awards by petrochemical clients. In
2007, with almost 5 million hours worked
at oil and chemical facilities, Securitas USA’s
TRIR and DART rates closely reflect those
reported for U.S. refiners themselves. However,
Securitas USA believes that critiquing accidents
to improve our program is more important than
applauding our overall success, and that there
is no room in a safety culture for complacency.
Regulatory Compliance
Securitas USA management works proactively
to prepare for new regulations such as MTSA
and CFATS, well before enforcement begins.
In 2007, Securitas USA managers worked
with their MTSA-regulated clients to identify
how many officers would need TWIC cards
for both regular and extraordinary situations,
and were fully prepared prior to TSA beginning
enrollment at the first port. Our officers are
trained not only in compliance with security
regulations, but assist petroleum and chemical
clients in complying with environmental, DOT,
OSHA and other regulations. Securitas USA
was one of the first security companies to be
designated and certified under the SAFETY Act.
Selection, Training, Technology
Securitas USA has unequaled programs to
recruit, select and train officers. In an age when
many positions now require computer skills — at
scale gates, receptionist desks, sophisticated
monitoring rooms — Securitas USA now requires
all applicants to apply via computer; both the
number and skill-sets of our applicants have
improved since that innovation. New hires are
vetted through drug testing and other screening,
and are interviewed by trained HR personnel to
determine that they are an appropriate fit for the
unique petrochemical environment. Officers are
trained to not only understand the policies and
procedures of their site, but also the regulatory
environment they work within. Our officers are
equipped with the tools they need, whether
Nomex uniforms and hard hats, or security patrol
vehicles that can stand up to constant use in a
petrochemical setting. Securitas USA services
are supported by our proprietary National
Communications Center and Securitas USA
Automated Field Enterprise System (SAFES).
Quality Management and
Continuous Improvement
Our success in partnering with oil and chemical
industry clients is based on mutual, regular
feedback, using objective measurements
of performance against goals. Our monthly
Stewardship Reports and KPI metrics are
benchmarks for the industry. Securitas USA
is committed to the professionalization of
security in the oil, natural gas, and chemical
industries. Like our clients, we are committed
to meeting all challenges, and continually
improving by challenging ourselves.
