Methodology of organizing professional selection of guards of hazardous industrial facility
To ensure the safety of industrial, especially hazardous facilities and prevent unauthorized actions, a physical protection system is created on them - a unified system of planning, coordination, control and implementation of a set of technical and organizational measures for the implementation of physical protection. An integral part of the physical protection system of the industrial complex is the armed security. At the same time, the success of the physical protection of the industrial complex directly depends on the reliability of personnel for the protection of this facility. The reliability of the staff can be summarized as a combination of professional suitability - the ability to efficiently perform their duties in full in various situations, and “trustworthiness” - the absence of delinquent, addictive, suicidal behavior on the part of the employee. Practical experience shows that improving the reliability of the organization’s personnel requires, among other things, effective professional selection. As regards the facilities of the industry, in particular, facility security specialists, the management of the facility, together with the management of the security units, ensures their professional selection in order to effectively fulfill the tasks of physical protection of facilities. We are talking about the suitability, qualifications and psychological stability of personnel to fulfill their professional duties, as well as many other features, for example, adherence to a safety culture. The cost of making the wrong decision when preparing and conducting a professional selection can be quite high - for example, if a candidate who does not meet the requirements for professionally important qualities and/or is prone to deviant behavior successfully passes a professional selection. The article describes a methodology for organizing professional selection of specialists of security divisions tested in the conditions of practical activity. The results obtained can be successfully used both in organizing professional selection and in building a support and decision-making system for professional selection of security specialists.
