Risk Management Add this

G4S Risk Management provides customers with a unique portal into a broad spectrum of functions to support their commercial interests across the African continent.

G4S’s significant geographical footprint is demonstrated by its operational presence in over 30 African countries.  G4S provides a matrix of consultants and independent problem-solving tools which will aid planning, ensure business resilience and make available a full inventory of support services.

As the largest risk management company in the world, G4S’s capacity and capabilities continues to expand on the basis of best practice. We continue to demonstrate unequivocal commitment to our customers and partners. Our secure and integrated solutions are measurable against internationally acknowledged standards of quality and performance and because of this, G4S is the provider of choice for all customers that are seeking “service excellence”.

G4S Risk Management

Our highly qualified and experienced consultants provide customers with a “total solution” through the provision of a comprehensive portfolio of risk management services that can be delivered at strategic, operational and personal levels.

G4S helps customers to identify all levels of risk and proactively works with them to overcome or mitigate these risks. Customers are assisted with the implementation of processes that reduce risks to levels that are reasonably practicable.

Consultants provide assessments that identify the kinds of risks that are associated with operating in the region. Adopting the P.E.S.T.L.E model, customers are provided with conclusions and recommendations from comprehensive security vulnerability audits that lead logically to the drafting of plans to account for:

  • Business continuity
  • Evacuation
  • Fire and explosion
  • Crisis and disaster
  • Kidnap

Consultancy Services

Highly qualified and vastly experienced consultants work to identify customers’ needs and assist them to implement plans that evolve from the recommendations of audits.

Consultants can be deployed to customers for specific tasks and periods; alternatively they can become” embedded” in customers’ organizations where they will provide immediate and impartial support across a range of activities designed to mitigate risk. Consultants are chosen initially for their knowledge of key industry verticals; however their skill-sets and their experience enable them to cut-across vertical boundaries and relate their talents to customers’ broader interests.

G4S provides consultants to a broad spectrum of international customers that represent the following industry sectors:

  • International Governments and Government Agencies
  • Government Departments
  • International Non-Governmental Organizations
  • Oil and Gas (On and Offshore)
  • Oilfield Support Services
  • Energy
  • Food and Beverages
  • Aviation and Transport
  • Civil Construction
  • Engineering
  • Telecommunications and Information Technology
  • Port and Dredging Services
  • Mining and Exploration
  • Banking, Insurance and Finance
  • Journey Management

G4S has pioneered a method of securely managing road travel in Nigeria’s demanding environment and is able to deliver the same service in 28 other countries throughout the African continent. The “grey-move” approach relies on reducing the profile of customers as they travel in pursuit of their primary commercial objectives.

Eschewing the “sirens, weaving and flashing lights” approach, we prefer instead to adopt calmer, more controlled driving techniques that reassure and pacify customers, many of whom arrive on the continent with preconceived and negative notions of the security conditions.

The company uses only its own specially recruited, vetted and trained drivers and vehicle commanders to manage the journeys. Similarly, we use only robust, high-specification vehicles from our own regularly serviced fleet. In this way we can guarantee the quality, consistency and timeliness of our service delivery.

G4S offers a range of service options that reflect our customers specific requirements. The service can be adapted to provide hoc or contracted responses that ensure customers’ safety and security at all times.

Armed Response Teams

In order to protect and to manage the client’s risks, G4S is able to provide armed rapid response teams to respond to calls from customers to assist them to overcome a range of risk-related occurrences such as:

  • Road Traffic Accidents
  • Fire
  • Domestic Emergencies
  • Robbery
  • Attempted Kidnapping

Working in conjunction with host nation Governments, G4S is also able to contribute appropriately qualified staff to assist with crisis and disaster management whilst Government services concentrate on providing first line security through the deployment of specifically allocated mobile police officers, or gendarmerie.
