SECURITY LOSS

CONTROL
 INDUSTRIAL SECURITY
POLICY
In the interest of effectively mitigating the
frequency and severity of company losses
through properly planned assets protection
and risk avoidance, management recognizes its
responsibility for the establishment of a
comprehensive security program, including its
corresponding implementing guidelines and
procedures, pursuant to the provisions of
pertinent codes and decrees of the Republic of
the Philippines.
SECURITY PLAN
The security plan interprets in detail the intent
and purpose of the security side of the company
security policy. This provides the framework for
the security program that management intends
to pursue in line with the company’s goal of
providing the people with safe, adequate and
reliable services which are necessary in our
economic progress.
SECURITY
- The protection of property of all kinds
from loss through theft, fraud, fire and
other forms of damage, and waste.
- the protection of secret processes,
financial data, sales projects and other
information vital to a company’s
interests against loss through what is
described as industrial espionage, is
also a security responsibility.
 ROLES IN COMPANY
SECURITY
Management
- Without the full involvement and support of
every grade of management, the
implementation of a company’s security policy
and program can only be partially efficient and
effective
- The driving force must come from the top
Supervisors
- The goodwill and cooperation of senior
management is fundamental in establishing
sound security principles and procedures, but
day-to-day efficient security practice is more
closely dependent on the appreciation and
understanding of the principles and
procedures amongst the workforce.
- Plant and office supervisors have implicit
responsibilities for the protection of their
employer’s property loss.
Workforce Cooperation
- Individuals are the more likely to identify
themselves with the employer’s interests
and appreciate the mutual benefit of an
efficient security system
- Assistance or helpful advice should always
be given when sought and no opportunity
missed to create goodwill. Where
information or advice bearing upon the
safety and well-being of employees can be
given, this should be regarded as a duty.

 Adequate Control of People is
Essential for Thorough Security

- Although any breach of security

could be committed by an
employee or non-employee, during

day or night, such breaches can be
prevented if there is adequate and
conscientious application of
security techniques.
Theft by employees or visitors can be
reduced by eliminating:
