...The organization employs two watchmen, replacing each other on a rotating schedule. The maximum duration of rest between shifts is 24 hours. No additional payments are made to guards. Is that right?

The professional standard of a watchman as such has not yet been approved for any industry where his labor is used. But there is a draft professional standard for a specialist in ensuring the protection of individuals and property, which regulates the activities of watchmen and security guards - so we’ll talk about it in this article.

Who is a watchman and where is his work used?

A watchman is a working profession, but it is not mentioned in the unified tariff and qualification reference book; there is only a security guard there. At the same time, tariff and qualification characteristics for the watchman profession were approved by Resolution of the Ministry of Labor No. 31 of November 10, 1992, according to which the watchman must:

• check the integrity of the object;
• during the walkthrough, make sure that the locks are locked, the seals are intact, no one has entered the building, the alarm system is turned on and working;
• If you find traces of a break-in, report this to management, the police, or the security post in accordance with the instructions;
• if a fire occurs, call the fire service and, to the best of your ability, eliminate the source of the fire or at least prevent the spread of fire;
• during duty, organize the passage of citizens and vehicles to and from the territory that is guarded;
• verify documents with actual cargo leaving and entering the territory being guarded.

The work of a watchman can be used in various fields: to protect warehouses and offices, shops and administrative institutions. Its employers can be both organizations and individual entrepreneurs. Also, the services of watchmen are often used in housing cooperatives and homeowners' societies. Previously, the position of night watchman was also found in educational organizations, but now the professional standard for an employee for ensuring the security of educational organizations is in force, approved by Order of the Ministry of Labor No. 1010n dated December 11, 2020, which allows only security guards to work.

A common feature of all possible guard jobs is the low risk of attack. Security guards are involved in the protection of objects where, due to the presence of attractive material assets, the likelihood of penetration is higher. The difference between these two professions will be explained in the next section.

The difference between a watchman and a security guard

The profession of a security guard in ETKS, and if you compare a security guard with a watchman, it turns out that they have a number of identical job responsibilities:

• ensure the integrity of the object (protect the object);
• organize passage of citizens and vehicles to and from the facility;
• check exported/imported cargo for compliance with documents.

However, there are also serious differences. For example, a security guard, instead of reporting to management or law enforcement agencies about detected violations, as a watchman does, is obliged to independently take measures to prevent and suppress the violation. To do this, he can use special technical means permitted for use, civilian and service weapons, as well as physical force.

That is, a security guard is like a watchman with broader powers, entailing more stringent qualification requirements. For example, if he is allowed to use weapons, then he must undergo special training courses and have the right to carry weapons.

General description of the draft professional standard for a security specialist

The draft professional standard for a specialist in ensuring the protection (security) of individuals and property is still awaiting approval. The purpose of the professional activity of these specialists is to ensure the protection of protected persons and objects from illegal attacks, the protection of cargo along the route, as well as ensuring law and order during public events.

This professional standard should include positions such as:

• watchman;
• senior guard shift;
• private security guard;
• departmental security shooter;
• head of the security department, etc.

At the same time, the performance of eight generalized labor functions with skill levels from first to eighth should be divided between them.

It is assumed that the watchman will be assigned to perform only one generalized labor function - the first, with qualification level 1. This means that the watchman is only allowed to protect property, they are not entrusted with the protection of individuals. In addition, guards are supposed to perform their work function only at the workplace, i.e. they also do not escort and guard cargo.

Occupational safety requirements in emergency situations

4.1. In case of an accident:

- immediately organize first aid for the victim, if necessary, call an ambulance by calling 103 or take him to a medical organization.

4.2. If a fire or signs of combustion are detected (smoke, burning smell, etc.), you must:

— take measures to extinguish the fire using fire extinguishing means available at the workplace;

- if it is impossible to extinguish the fire on your own, immediately report the fire by calling 101 or 112 (give the address of the facility, the location of the fire, your last name), as well as your immediate supervisor.

4.3. When an alarm is triggered, report to your immediate supervisor, arrive on site and establish the reason for the alarm. If a danger is detected that threatens property, personal safety, or other illegal actions, the watchman must immediately call the police department by calling 102 and report the incident to the supervisor.

Labor function of a watchman

As already mentioned, according to the draft professional standard, the watchman is assigned to perform one generalized labor function - protecting property without the use of engineering and technical means and physical force. As part of this generalized function, the watchman performs 2 specific ones, which state that he must:

1. Check the integrity of the object, inspect window and door openings, locks, seals (if any). If violations are detected in this case, the watchman is instructed to immediately inform management and the police.
2. Raise the alarm and notify the fire department and management about the occurrence of a fire or other incident, as well as take measures to eliminate the source of fire.

The draft professional standard imposes on the watchman the following labor actions:

• visual monitoring of the situation (in this case, the use of inspection equipment and systems for assessing the quality and quantity of material assets is allowed);
• analysis of the current situation, the result of which may be a decision to issue alarm signals and contact law enforcement agencies;
• checking visitors, issuing them passes or putting marks on passes;
• checking the integrity of facility security measures (locks, seals);
• monitoring the status of technical means of protection (panic button, alarm, etc.);
• external and internal bypass of the object;

Requirements for a watchman

Professional standards are developed in such a way that only employees who meet certain qualification requirements are allowed to perform each generalized job function. So, in order to be able to work as a watchman, an employee must undergo short-term training under an additional educational program. There are no requirements for the employee’s experience in the project, and there are no special conditions for permission to work.

Also, each job function is assigned a corresponding skill level, which reflects the complexity of the job. For all professional standards, there are 8 qualification levels, of which the first one corresponds to the work of a watchman (simple work that does not require special skills).

If we take into account the Order of the Ministry of Labor No. 148n dated April 12, 2013, which approved qualification levels for the purpose of developing draft professional standards, then this level can be deciphered as follows:

1. Authority and responsibility: the watchman’s activities are completely under the direction of his superiors, without any elements of independence, while the watchman bears individual responsibility.
2. Nature of Skills: A watchman is required to perform standard tasks, usually involving physical labor.
3. Nature of knowledge: the watchman uses basic factual knowledge and a limited range of specialized knowledge in his activities.
4. Ways to achieve qualifications: short-term training, instruction, practical experience.

Knowledge and skills required for a watchman

The draft professional standard stipulates that a watchman should know:

• their job responsibilities, technical regulations used by the employer and conditions for ensuring the safety of property;
• principles of operation of technical equipment used to protect the territory;
• possible types of illegal attacks and methods for identifying them;
• officials responsible for actions within the framework of access control at the facility, as well as local acts regulating it;
• organization of activities at the facility;
• regulations governing labor relations with the employer and the field of labor protection;
• operating mode at a guarded facility;
• ethics of business communication;
• rules for the use of technical security equipment and fire extinguishing equipment, their location.

The project lists the skills required for a watchman as follows:

• ability to work with equipment provided by the employer;
• compliance with business ethics;
• maintaining the confidentiality of information received during the performance of a job function.

Also, the draft professional standard outlines ethical points that a watchman must know and observe, namely:

• perform work efficiently and impartially;
• do not hide reliable facts, report them to management;
• do not disclose information that becomes known during the course of work without prior approval from superiors;
• avoid creating conflict situations;
• refrain from actions that could damage the company’s reputation;
• transfer information to law enforcement agencies about all offenses committed at the protected facility.

Features of the guard's working conditions

The work activity of a watchman has its own characteristics related to working conditions. So, when getting a job, he must understand that he will have an individual work schedule, different from what is established in the organization for the majority of workers. We are talking about the possibility:

• irregular working hours;
• working on weekends and holidays;
• involvement in overtime and night work;
• work in unfavorable climatic conditions;
• work in high-risk environments.

All these points should be reflected in the employment contract concluded with the watchman if the employer is sure that they will actually take place.

So, the watchman, according to the reviewed draft professional standard for a specialist in ensuring the protection (security) of individuals and property, is the least qualified worker among those involved in such activities. He has minimal job responsibilities, which consist of monitoring the facility and reporting information about detected violations according to instructions. This means setting minimum qualification requirements for the watchman. In fact, undergoing regular training may be quite enough for an employee to start working.

The minimum of responsibilities and requirements has led to the fact that the watchman is involved only in protecting property. At the same time, certain professional standards developed for certain areas of security may exclude the work of a guard altogether (as, for example, in the case of security of educational organizations).

What requirements must an employee’s workplace meet?

Occupational safety is a primary requirement!

The most important requirement when organizing a workplace is to ensure safe, comfortable working conditions and to prevent the occurrence of occupational diseases and accidents. This entire set of measures is called occupational safety and health.

In other words, labor protection, in essence, is a system of legislative acts in conjunction with socio-economic, organizational, technical, hygienic, therapeutic and preventive measures and means that ensure safe working conditions and the preservation of the health of enterprise employees.

To do this, it is necessary to create favorable working conditions in accordance with sanitary standards, safety regulations, ergonomics, and aesthetics.

Indoor microclimate

The legislation of our country strictly regulates the temperature and humidity of indoor air. In particular, when the average daily temperature outside is below 10°C, the amplitude of its fluctuations indoors should be 22-24°C. When the ambient temperature is higher than the specified value - 23-25°C. In case of temporary non-compliance with these conditions in one direction or another, the length of the working day is reduced (SanPiN 2.2.4.3359-16 dated June 21, 2020 No. 81).
