Description
This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to develop standard operating procedures (SOPs) for security systems that employ advanced technologies including biometrics, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, smart technologies and video integration. It includes conducting research to confirm system operating parameters and writing procedures that ensure safe and effective operation of systems to meet workplace requirements. It also includes reviewing and improving SOPs to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements and respond to changing technologies.This unit is suitable for those using specialised knowledge to complete routine and non-routine tasks and using their own judgement to deal with predictable and sometimes unpredictable problems.Legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply in some states and territories to the provision of advice on security solutions, strategies, protocols and procedures. For further information, check with the relevant regulatory authority.
