STUDENT HANDOUTS

Security Committee Training for Employees
aka
Awareness Leaders and Emergency Response Teams
A.L.E.R.T. TEAM

The ALERT Team concept is Security Committee training for management only. It was developed by CAT Eyes and has been used by numerous companies since 2004. It was praised during Coach USA’s corporate review and a NJ DOT exercise in 2007 called Rapid Response.
Once a month your management team participates in a webinar and reviews and develops all your security plans and procedures. In order to make it sustainable, once a quarter the meeting and a drill is run by the Safety Director with Courseware provided by CAT Eyes. This has great sustainability because once all of the plans are in place the Safety Director can maintain the program with his quarterly security meetings and drills. In addition to the training CAT Eyes provides 10 hours of Security consulting every month to assist the ALERT Team in developing their security plan and program and developing a company wide security program. Below is a list of the various programs, plans and drills incorporated in ALERT Team Training. Having mid level-management trained as an ALERT Team is the cornerstone of an effective Security Program for any company. For more information contact us.
