ABSTRACT
Training in Security and Safety The Loss-Prevention Manager’s Role in Training One of the most important functions of the loss-prevention manager’s job is the training of other managers and their subordinates-essentially training in security and safety for all employees of the business establishment. Although the major concerns are the control and training of loss-prevention security or safety personnel, the responsibility goes further. The loss-prevention manager must also become involved in the training of other coworkers concerning security-and safety-related areas. This will include employment policies and rules of conduct, internal and external theft, and, most importantly, the safety and protection of life and property. One of the more important elements that a company can show on its behalf when threatened with a criminal or civil action is documented evidence of the appropriate and required training of all employees, particularly specific employees who are responsible in the areas of safety and security.
