Building safety and Security ENGINEERING - SSI provides counter terror, anti terror, emergency response and SWAT training in the USA and in Israel.

Building Safety and Security ENGINEERING
Washington, DC – November 20-21, 2008

Audience: Security Officers, Facility Managers and Managers with Security Responsibility

Objective: To understand the threats and risks to buildings, facilities and the people within them and to gain an appreciation of the techniques and solutions for physical protection.

Length: 2 days

This seminar is focused on the use of architecture, engineering, people and technology to deter attacks on buildings, critical infrastructure and public areas, or to mitigate the effects of an attack successfully carried out. The tools and techniques learned during the 2 days can help save lives and protect assets.

Too often, decisions are made on where to allocate financial or human resources based on separate analyses of buildings, people and technology. These decisions are typically made without a clear understanding of the vulnerabilities of the buildings and facilities and without defining clear definitions of the expectations from the protection.

This 2 day course provides a detailed review of typical threats to buildings, compounds and other facilities and how they affect your assessment and operational methods. It will provide tools and methodologies for understanding threats and risks, identifying vulnerabilities and for taking a holistic approach to security by building an integrated view of the physical, technological and human aspects of security.

Brookfield properties contains several well-known retail names and therefore, the program will reflect this, looking into the retail environment and threats to that particular environment.

By the end of this course you will be able to:

Appreciate typical threats and their risks to people and property

Learn about how various threats affect people property based on case studies of actual attacks.

Familiarize yourself with the phenomena of suicide bombers

Understand risk and threat analysis methodology and the benefits of an empirical study of the physical security of a facility

Understand how to apply the methodology to buildings, critical infrastructure, ports, public transport and other facilities/compounds

Gain an overview of common physical and technological methods of protection and understand their role in deterrence, detection and mitigation

Determine and prioritize your security needs and align them with the perceived threats and the available budget

Extensive use of case studies will enable the appreciation of these concepts through real world examples and innovative cost effective solutions will be presented to typical security challenges.
Day 1 – Threats and Risks

	Introduction – Opening Session

	Anatomy of an explosion	The physics and effects of an explosion on buildings, windows and humans.
	Case Studies	3 Car bomb incidents of different nature
	Suicide Bombers	Case studies of actual suicide bomber attacks
	Suicide Bombers	The threats and practiced methods to cope with the phenomena of suicide bombers ,
	Fire arms attacks	Cases studies of various incidents form recent years involving shootings in educational centers analyzing the reasons for the different outcomes

Day 2 – Threat and Risk Analysis and Protection Solutions

	Summary of previous day
	Holistic Approach to Physical Security	The Human, Technology and Structural Domains are introduced together with a methodology for identifying vulnerabilities.
	Threat & Risk Analysis	An introduction to the methodology of Threat and Risk Analysis and Red Teaming. Examples from a variety of facilities will be presented (infrastructure, public transport etc.)
	Rings of Security	Perimeters, Yards and Buildings as concentric rings of physical security and the common application of the concept to different types of facility.
	Building Domain – Products	An introduction to the myriad products available on the market for physical protection including barriers, fences, windows, and doors.
	Technology Domain	A description of security technology and common problems in their deployment and operation.
	Human Domain	A review of the procedures and techniques for balancing the need for security guard deployment with the physical security of the building, with a particular emphasis on suicide bombers.
	Prioritization	Identifying priorities in a physical protection program.
	Physical Protection Projects	Examples of physical protection projects for new buildings and for retrofit projects. Including a case study of a recent attack on a protected building in Israel
