Security personnel must consistently monitor surveillance feeds and their surroundings, quickly noticing and responding to suspicious activity or security breaches. It’s important to develop techniques for staying engaged and focused, such as rotating observation tasks or taking scheduled breaks where permitted. Employers often provide initial and ongoing training to help guards manage these challenges and remain effective while seated.
