Oil & Gas
Global energy demand is soaring and much of the new production coming online is in the developing world, where security structures are weak and societies are unstable. The energy sector is a soft target for terrorists and insurgents seeking to create economic chaos.
Security stems from having the correct strategy, bolstered by innovative technology, robust implementation and rigorous systems management.

Mining
Range19 has conducted security audits and surveys at a myriad of mining operations worldwide, designing and evaluating security systems along with training personnel in the process. Due to their high risk and volatility, mining sites require the installation of the highest quality hardware that can be acquired in order to ensure proper functionality. We make sure any security needs that need to be incorporated early on are done so during the planning phase to avoid retrofitting that can spike security costs 25-50%. In addition, we perform periodic internal audits and implement proper controls and security to mitigate risks like embezzlement and employee theft.
In order to protect life, ensure safety and protect company assets, anyone engaged to provide security services in the mining sector needs to be mindful of the myriad unique security challenges. For example, there are a host safety issues, including hazards, potential injuries and damage, which need to be addressed. One must also be aware of and manage issues such as site-access compliance, including company inductions, accommodation camp management, emergency response and so on.
External to the day-to-day running of the operation, one must also plan for, monitor and manage issues such as protestor activity, including threats to the operation from a wide variety of people ranging from environmental groups through to potential terrorist threats, as well as managing any number of confrontations that can erupt between internal and external groups on any given day.
Whilst these issues to some extent confront the industry as a whole, the very nature of the fact that the mining locations are outside the mainstream population areas significantly contributes to the logistical challenge of service delivery. The remoteness of these sites and limited combined with the high risk associated with the operational processing of the industry sectors, access control and security management, is critical to ensuring the safety of all personnel on site. One can begin to develop a picture of scope and magnitude of what is involved in running a security operation in the mining sector.
