As a member of Security staff, your primary responsibility is to keep RT premises secure at all times. You would:

- Man the main gate and keep track of employees and visitors entering and leaving premises.
- Deal with unsolicited visitors
- Man intruder and fire alarm systems if installed
- Attend and receive after hours phone calls
- Receive suppliers and vendors and alert appropriate staff
- Handover and receive mails/ couriers

A few precautions help in safe operations

• Firearms are prohibited.

What is meant by induction here? The meaning suggested by my dictionaries do not seem to fit. Does it mean instruction or something else?

Thanks in anticipation.
