NBN CONSULTATION PAPER Minister for Communications The Hon Malcolm Turnbull MP has called for comment on the proposed way forward in performing arrangements for the migration of services to the NBN. The government is seeking industry commitment to developing processes and solutions that provide consumer assurance that service continuity will be prioritised and managed.

ASIAL has lodged a submission.

CHANGES TO NBN COPPER DISCONNECTION DATES

Following consultation with industry, NBN Co has reached agreement with Telstra on the deferral of Disconnection Dates (DD) for the period covering December 2014 and January 2015. The Disconnection Dates for areas falling in this period will now be realigned and spread over February, March and April 2015. The effects of these changes are: • There will be no DDs in December 2014 and January 2015 • DD for these periods will be spread over February, March and April 2015 • There will be one DD per month for areas in February & March and two for April 2015

NEW RULES CONCERNING BACK UP POWER SUPPLY FOR NBN VOICE SERVICES The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has made new rules requiring

12 //SECURITY INSIDER OCTOBER 2014

telecommunications service providers to alert customers connecting to the NBN fibre network about how a mains power failure could affect their voice service. For more information visit www.asial.com.au.

During a power failure, all services supplied over an optical fibre connection will stop working unless an alternative backup power supply—typically a battery— is installed at the individual’s premises to power the network termination device and a fixed-line telephone.

While most subscribers have access to mobile phones, in the case of a power failure, many continue to rely on their home fixed-line connection for voice services and other services, such as personal medical alarms.

“NBN fibre consumers need to make an informed choice whether to install battery backup in light of their particular needs”, said ACMA Chairman, Chris Chapman.

‘Without reliable safeguards to ensure adequate information is

provided to inform that choice, there is a small but real chance that unaware consumers may be put at risk, particularly in an emergency.

The new rules are designed to ensure that service providers give NBN fibre customers sufficient information during the sales process about how their voice service will operate in a power failure, so that householders can make an informed choice about whether they need battery backup or not.

The new rules complement existing arrangements in NBN Co’s Wholesale Broadband Agreement in respect of the optional provision of battery backup units to premises converting to optical fibre.

The new rules are set out in the Telecommunications (Backup Power and Informed Decisions) Service Provider Determination 2014, which commenced on 2 October 2014.

FAIR WORK COMMISSION REJECTS LOW PAID AUTHORISATION APPLICATION In late 2013 United Voice (ACT Branch) made a Low Paid Authorisation application to the Fair Work Commission (FWC) to join four security companies to a Multiple Employer Agreement.

The ramifications of a decision in favour of the Union’s application could have had far reaching effects on the security industry and

employers involved may have been forced to participate collectively in negotiations with the Union for MultiEmployer Workplace Agreements.

ASIAL facilitated meetings with and provided advice to the parties and supported members throughout the hearings. After developing submissions and witness statements this matter went to a hearing in

Canberra for a week in June 2014, with final submissions in early July by Moray and Agnew Solicitors.

On 29 September 2014 the Fair Work Commission handed down a decision rejecting the United Voice application and found in favour of the security employers. A copy of the full transcript of the decision is available on the ASIAL website.

QLD SAFE NIGHT OUT STRATEGY LEGISLATION PASSED On the 26 August 2014, the Safe Night Out Legislation Amendment Bill 2014 was passed by the Queensland Government. This has resulted in a number of changes to the Liquor Act 1992 that liquor

licensees need to be aware of including the use of ID scanners within the Safe Night Precincts, and new obligations for licensees that must operate CCTV at licensed premises.

LOUD AND CLEAR PROJECT UPDATE

NSW - REVOCATION OF CONDITIONAL CLASS 1 SECURITY LICENCES

The ‘Loud & Clear’ project managed by the Construction and Property Services Industry Skills Council (CPSISC) is focussed on building the communication skills of those undertaking training in the Certificate II in Security Operations.

Two main outcomes of the project have been finalised: 1. a strategy to build the language, literacy and numeracy skills of security operatives and 2. language, literacy and numeracy profiles of the job roles associated with CPP20212 Certificate II in Security operations.

Each objective has its own set of goals with suggested associated action areas.You can view the strategy by visiting the CPSISC website (www.cpsisc. com.au)

A “conditional licence” is a licence that has a condition placed on it under section 23E of the Security Industry Act 1997 requiring the holder to provide evidence of attainment of all units of competency for the licence.

In July 2014, a “Notice of Intention to Revoke Security Licence” was mailed to all licensees holding a conditional licence. The notice contained steps that could be taken to avoid revocation action.

Holders of conditional Class 1 licences who failed to take action to avoid the revocation of their licence are hereby notified that the revocation of their licence is effective on and from Wednesday 1 October 2014.

G20 LEADERS SUMMIT The G20 Leaders Summit is the most significant meeting of world leaders ever to be hosted in Australia, bringing together 26 world leaders, seven internationally protected persons and 4,000 delegates over two days the event will be held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, Southbank on November 15 and 16, 2014.

The security operation around this event is the most significant seen in Australia’s history and will have entailed two years of planning from a Queensland Police Service (QPS) perspective, by the time the world leaders arrive.

QPS will be utilising Facebook, Twitter and a specific mypolice blog to communicate key messages in the lead up to and during the G20 Leaders Summit. They ask that members of security organisations monitor these sites in the lead up to the event and particularly for the week leading up to and including the Leaders Summit.

• www.facebook.com/ QueenslandPolice • www.myPolice.qld.gov.au/G20 • http://twitter.com/QPSmedia

G20 Safety and Security Act New legislation was passed in State Parliament late last year to assist in ensuring that police will be in a position to effectively deliver a safe, secure, dignified and effective security operation to secure the G20 Leaders Summit. This includes two specific security areas, declared and restricted.

Declared area The large declared area (refer to declared area map at www.police. qld.gov.au/G20) is a security area by definition only in that it won’t be delineated by fencing, signage or ‘flashing lights’ restricting entry.

Movement throughout the declared area for residents and members of the

16 //SECURITY INSIDER OCTOBER 2014

community will be unrestricted in the main unless motorcades are travelling on roads which will require those roads to be secured for the duration of those motorcade movements. The purpose of the declared area is to: • facilitate the movement of official motorcades, • prohibit specific people from entering the area, • restrict items, • manage protest activity.

Restricted areas There are currently 12 Restricted Areas (refer to restricted area maps at www.police.qld.gov.au/G20 ) which includes the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre (BCEC), The Royal International Convention Centre and nine premier hotels that will accommodate the world leaders and internationally protected persons.

The restricted areas will be clearly delineated and in some cases, secured by some form of fencing and a policing element preventing persons who are not ‘accredited’ from entering. Only people who have a genuine reason to enter a restricted area i.e. foreign delegation residing in restricted area; people working in the restricted area; people required to deliver goods or services into the restricted area, will be considered for accreditation.

Overview of event and predicted impacts: The main impacts will occur from Friday 14 November, through to

Sunday 16 November 2014. This includes impacts to transport due to security measures and people can expect some impacts around journey time, parking and public transport.

Roads, bridge access and public transport in and out of the city will be operating for the Thursday evening peak period. All transport arrangements should return to business-as-usual in time for the Monday morning peak, unless exceptional circumstances arise.

Individuals will be able to go about their usual business over the long weekend, however, they may need to go about their business in a different way.

Friday 14 November It is anticipated that the majority of world leaders will arrive at the Brisbane airport on Friday 14 November and will travel by motorcade from the airport along declared routes to their hotel accommodation within the CBD. All traffic will be prevented from entering the motorcade route whilst it’s declared and motorcade routes will not be made public until shortly before those routes are declared.

15 and 16 November Motorcades will travel between the restricted accommodation within the CBD to the BCEC each morning and return at some point in the afternoon / evening on the Saturday and to Brisbane airport Sunday afternoon / evening.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES SECOND TRANCHE OF VET REFORMS TO DELIVER INDUSTRY LED AND JOB READY SKILLS AND TRAINING On 11 September, Minister for Industry Ian Macfarlane announced the second tranche of the Government’s overhaul of the Vocational Education and Training sector (VET) system at the National VET Conference in Brisbane. Industry will have a stronger voice in ensuring Australia’s workforce is skilled, flexible and ready to drive economic growth in the industries of the future, under the Government’s comprehensive reform package for the VET. The reforms are the second tranche of improvements to the system to elevate trades to the centre of the economy and focus on ensuring Australian workers are highly skilled and job ready.

Australia’s VET system is in need of reform. Just one in two apprentices completes their training and just one in three complete their training in the skills area they started.

Employer satisfaction and involvement with the VET system is decreasing and there’s too much churn and waste.

The government has announced changes to the way the regulator, the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) operates to cut the excessive red tape for high-performing training providers and let them get on with what it is that they do best – delivering the highest calibre training that meets industry and economy needs.

The government believes that the best way to ensure training providers deliver high quality training is to let each Registered Training Organisation (RTO) stand on its reputation – not fill out

reams and reams of paperwork and jump through endless hoops.

At the moment training providers are required to constantly seek approval from ASQA before they offer new courses or make changes to the courses they are already delivering.

The result is an excessive amount of red tape and too much time spent filling out forms

skills and training system reflects the needs of industry.

At the end of the current contract period with the 12 Industry Skills Councils, the government will move to a more contestable model for the development and maintenance of training packages. Current ISCs are welcome to tender under this new model along with new groups. The Government will

instead of filling classrooms or workshops.

The government believes that ASQA should be a regulator, not a book keeper.

The government will also work with the sector to implement measures to crack down on unscrupulous or misleading behaviour by ‘brokers’ who act as an intermediary between students and training providers, as part of the new standards for RTOs which begin in January.

The government is taking further measures to ensure the

consult with the sector to deliver this outcome Industry must have the freedom to design the type of training they’re after, through both full trades qualifications and skill sets.

These reforms build on the first round announced earlier this week to introduce the Australian Apprenticeship Support Network and to run two pilot programs the Training for Employment Scholarships program and the Youth Employment Pathways program.

NATIONAL TERRORISM PUBLIC ALERT LEVEL INCREASED On 12 September the Federal Government raised the National Terrorism Public Alert level from Medium to High. Announcing the move, Prime Minister Tony Abbott said there was no knowledge of a specific attack plan but a body of evidence points to the increased likelihood of a terrorist attack in Australia.

“Raising the alert level to High is designed to increase vigilance and raise awareness in the community. While it is important the public are aware of the increased threat, Australians should continue to go about their lives. Strong arrangements are in place to detect, prevent and respond to terrorism,” Mr Abbott said.

At a press conference NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione said it is likely people will see enhanced security measures by public and private sector organisations. “We want people to go about their daily routines as always, but remain mindful they might see increased police

presence or security officers on or around public transport, or places where large numbers of people gather,” Mr Scipione said.

Owners and operators of critical infrastructure and places of mass gathering have been encouraged to review their security plans and update their contact details with their state or territory police counter-terrorism unit.

The public can provide valuable information to assist security and law enforcement agencies identify potential threats and prevent them

from developing. Members of the public can report suspicious activities to the National Security Hotline on 1800 123 400, or directly to local police.

How long the threat level remains at High is a matter for our intelligence and security agencies, but Mr Abbott said the government does not want to see it remain High “for a day longer than necessary”. The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) independently determines the threat level.

ASIAL INDUSTRY BREAKFAST BRIEFINGS QLD - On Wednesday 15 October, Michael Sarquis, Executive Director, Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation will provide a briefing on the Queensland Government’s recently launched Safe Night Out strategy and how security providers can assist in ensuring the success of this important new initiative.

INSIDER TURNS 21

THE INSIDER TURNS 21!

After more than 100 issues, The Insider is turning 21. From modest beginnings as a six page two colour member newsletter in 1994, the magazine has grown to become a valued member benefit. Now with a CAB audited print circulation of 3,383 and electronic distribution of over 9,000 the magazine reaches a wide and growing audience.

TO MARK THIS MILESTONE, we take a look at a few of the stories and covers featured over the past 21 years. Whilst much has changed over the past two decades many of the same challenges remain. As the saying goes, ‘the more things change, the more they stay the same’.

In 1994 the industry was grappling with AUSTEL’s telephone renumbering plan which introduced 10-digit telephone numbers to address the shortage of phone numbers. Mona Vale in Sydney’s northern beaches was the first suburb to change.

The Insider reported Telecom’s spokesman Keith Masterton as saying “The change has the potential to be complex for some security companies and Telecom is working in close consultation with the security industry, through ASIAL, to facilitate a smooth changeover”.

Fast forward to 2014 and the industry is now grappling with the migration of legacy systems with the rollout of the National Broadband Network.

In 1994 ASIAL’s monitoring centre grading program had 25 participants.

20 //SECURITY INSIDER OCTOBER 2014

Robin Burrows was conducting the gradings in accordance with the recently released (1992) AS2201 Standard. Participants on the scheme bemoaned the number of monitoring companies who claimed to be graded when in fact they were not.

Today there are 34 participants (with a number of others in the process of being certified) and disappointingly, there are still companies who falsely claim to be graded.

In the October 1994 issue we welcomed as corporate members ITI, Dedicated Micros, Alarm Ace, Leptonics International, TRL Security Systems, Task Force Security, Bunda-Burg Alarms, Barry J Wilson and Associates, Starec Electrics, Advanced techniques International and Outlaw Security. In addition, RAA and NRMA joined as Associate members. Today the list of new members is longer (see page 36) and the names are different.

The January 1996 issue featured news that the Association had engaged Chris Delaney to make a statement before the Ministerial Inquiry into the Transportation and

Delivery of Cash and Other Valuables.

Fast forward to September 2014 and Chris Delaney was once again acting on the Association’s behalf when he made a statement to the Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal inquiry into the CIT industry.

In his address to the Australasian Police Commissioners Conference in 1996, ASIAL President Larry Circosta said it was time that police and security ‘got together’. He called for national competency standards, improved standards for security companies, a stronger partnership between police and a more consistent licensing system between states.

Whilst competency standards and industry professionalism continue to improve, a closer working partnership with police and national licensing are both still a work in progress.

In 1997 the $12 million sale of Securitas to US buyer Signature was announced. The head of Signature, Jim Covert, says that the acquisition will be the first of many. The Insider reported that as he attacks the market with $100 million to spend, Covert’s plans are to have a 1,000 employee,

$100 million a year company within five years – anything less and he will be disappointed.”

Fast forward to June 2014 with the announcement by Telstra that they had entered into a joint venture to form TelstraSNP Monitoring to offer monitored security for business and residential customers. Telstra Business Group Managing Director, Will Irving, said the new venture was a logical fit for Telstra given the reliance on telecommunication networks to deliver monitored security.“I think there are a number of untapped areas

of growth in the monitored security business and think that this joint venture establishes a strong platform as we build towards not only the connected home but the intelligent business.” Time will tell what impact this development will have on the monitoring sector.

In the April 1998 issue, The Insider showcased the ASIAL organised Olympic Security Expo held at the NSW Police Academy in Goulburn, featuring over 60 exhibitors. Head of the NSW Police Olympic Command Centre Paul McKinnon was quoted as

saying the Olympics will “transform” the security industry.

In 2001 the Cabling Provider rules came into effect with ASIAL approved as one of five accredited registrars. It was also the year that the attacks on the World Trade Centre took place. Following the attacks, Insider featured an article by Dr Neil Livingstone, Chair and CEO of GlobalOptions, in which he describes the attacks as “fundamentally transforming the United States from a peacetime economy … to a wartime economy committed to vast new

SECURITY INSIDER OCTOBER 2014// 21

federal expenditures and the largest government reorganization since World War Two.” Over a decade later and the terrorist threat remains a significant and increasingly complex challenge that governments around the world are grappling with.

Speaking at the ASIAL Security 2006 Conference, Federal Attorney General Philip Ruddock stated that the security industry was “an immense national resource that can contribute to Australia’s safety and security, as well as its prosperity.”

In 2007 we featured an article by the former head of the CIA’s Bin Laden Unit, Michael Scheuer. The article covered the real impact of terrorism and threats posed to America and Western nations. That threat remains with us today. Indeed the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) has recently raised the National Terrorism Public Alert level from Medium to High. The change underscores the need for collaboration and partnerships between law enforcement agencies and the private security industry.

Earlier this year former Deputy Commissioner of NSW Police, Dave Owens wrote about the growing interest in the area of public/private partnerships. In the article he wrote “there needs to be a consistent push by private security for a National Model of Regulation to ensure consistency (not inconsistency) in the provision of services.”

Finally, as our last issue highlighted issues such as sham contracting and the race to the bottom mentality of some manpower operators continue to hamper the industry’s growth and professionalism. However, through the Local Government Procurement Initiative involving the Fair Work Ombudsman and ASIAL, action is being taken to address this issue.

As we celebrate 21 years of publication, we can only speculate on what the next 21 years will have in store for us. However, one thing is for sure and that is The Insider will continue to provide members with the latest news and views on the issues that matter.

22 //SECURITY INSIDER OCTOBER 2014

THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS In 1994 when the Insider was first published Paul Keating was PM and HRH Elizabeth II was (and still is) the monarch. Jeff Kennett was holding court as Premier of Victoria, with John Fahey (NSW), Wayne Goss (QLD), Dean Brown (SA), Ray Groom (Tasmania), Richard Court (WA), Rosemary Follett (ACT) and Marshal Perron (NT) leading their respective states/territories.

Ros Kelly resigned as Minister for Sports and the Environment over the “sports rorts affair’ and NSW state MP John Newman was shot outside his home, in Australia’s first political assasination since 1977. John Hewson replaced Alexander Downer as Leader of the Opposition.

The Provisional Irish Republican Army announces a “complete cessation of military operations.

Nelson Mandela was inaugurated as South Africa’s first black president.

The Channel Tunnel, which took 15,000 workers over 7 years to complete, opened between England and France, enabling passengers to travel between the 2 countries in 35 minutes.

Major bushfires devastated coastal NSW, leave four people dead and over 300 homes lost.

Australian authorities commenced extradition procedures from Spain of Christopher Skase who had been held in a hospital on the Spanish island of Majorca.

Sydney Airport’s third runway opened amidst protests about noise levels.

We were playing Sonic The Hedgehog on our Sega Mega Drive’s and spending weekends smashing our friends at Street Fighter and Daytona 500. The launch of the Sony Play Station would change computer games forever.

The People’s Republic of China gets its first connection to the

internet.

In popular culture Lisa Marie Presley married Michael Jackson.

Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobau was found dead at his Lake Washington home, whilst Ayrton Senna was killed in an accident during the San Marino Grand Prix in Imola, Italy.

Among those who also passed away included Richard Nixon, Telly Savalas, Jacqueline Onasis and Kim il Sung.

Meanwhile, singers Justin Bieber and Harry Styles were born along with test tube baby Ricardo Dela Corte born to the oldest (62) mother.

Life was just like a box of chocolates with the movie Forrest Gump at the box office, whilst to get some street cred you watched Pulp Fiction. Other popular films included The Shawshank Redemption, The Lion King, Speed, The Mask, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Muriels Wedding and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Blue Heelers and Friends (which spawned legions of copycat haircuts) premiered on TV, whilst Mother and Son and Hey Dad aired their final episodes.

In sport, 20 minute quarters and the “final 8” were introduced in the AFL.Australia won its first Winter Olympics medal in Lillehammer, Norway. Adelaide City took out the NSL championship for a third time, defeating a Mark Viduka inspired Melbourne Knights. Queensland staged a heart-stopping fightback in the last five minutes of the 1994 State of Origin Series with winger Mary Coyne scoring the matchwinner in the final minute. State of origin II held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground attracted an ARL record turn out of 87,161. Meanwhile, West Coast Eagles defeated Geelong to win the 98th AFL premiership. <source: wikipedia>

THERMAL IMAGING

THERMAL IMAGING COMES OF AGE g

By John Fleming

FLIR Systems is a world leader in the design, manufacturing and marketing of thermal imaging systems for a wide variety of commercial and government applications. The company began operations in the United States in 1978, developing high end thermal imaging cameras for the military. Today the company employs over 4,000 people and is the largest manufacturer of commercial thermal imaging cameras in the world.

BACKGROUND ON INFRARED A thermal imaging camera records the intensity of radiation in the infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum and converts it to a visible image. Our eyes are detectors that are designed to detect electromagnetic radiation in the visible light spectrum. All other forms of electromagnetic radiation, such as Infrared, are invisible to the human eye.

The existence of infrared was discovered in 1800 by astronomer Sir Frederick William Herschel Infrared radiation lies between the visible and microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

The primary source of infrared radiation is heat or thermal radiation. We experience infrared radiation every day. The heat that we feel from sunlight, a fire or a radiator is all infrared. Although our eyes cannot see it the nerves in our skin feel it as heat.

The warmer the object the more infrared radiation it emits.

Interest for thermal imaging has grown considerably over recent years and has expanded beyond military applications to the commercial sector. Thermal cameras are now also moving into the consumer market. This follows a similar path to that of GPS technology, which also started life as a military product but is now a widely used consumer product found in smart phones

and navigation systems.

SECURITY APPLICATIONS FLIR offers a line-up of video security cameras, recorders, and software, for a total solution. Combining CCTV security cameras and DVR/NVRs along with cutting edge thermal security cameras, FLIR offers video security coverage with cameras that see in visible, near-IR, and thermal.

Thermal security cameras can complement and complete networks of CCTV security cameras by turning night into day, giving the power to see threats invisible to the naked eye.

ANALOG & IP VISIBLE-LIGHT CCTV CAMERAS FLIR analog and IP video security cameras are available in three performance tiers: Summit, Echelon, and Pinnacle Series.

Each series includes indoor/outdoor dome cameras and bullet cameras. The SyncroIP line of HD IP cameras has ONVIF 2.1 conformance, making it interoperable with popular VMS and NVR solutions.

THERMAL SECURITY CAMERAS FLIR thermal security cameras come with, pan/tilt, and dome configurations, standard 640x480 resolution, network ready, available with a variety lens options.

They provide both analog and digital video outputs, making them a good solution for point-to-point and networked security imaging applications.

RECORDERS FLIR DVRs and NVRs provide networkable recording options. The new FLIR 960H line of DVRs has 34% more resolution than standard D1 recorders. The innovative SyncroIP NVR provides full 1080p HD recording, plus integrated PoE ports for easy setup.

HANDHELD SECURITY IMAGER FLIR Systems’ thermal imagers provide a powerful tool in the fight against crime by enabling users to see suspects in total darkness, through smoke, moderate fog, and light foliage. A FLIR handheld thermal imager allows you to see suspects without revealing your location.

OTHER IMAGING APPLICATIONS Thermal imaging for driver vision enhancement can also be used in a standard car which significantly reduces the risks of night time driving and allows the driver to see up to 5 times further than with headlights. It needs no light whatsoever to operate.

Thermal security cameras are useful in circumstances that relegate other camera technologies to fight for second-place.

Large facilities commonly have to deal with unfenced and unlit perimeter areas for economic reasons. Thermal cameras can see far enough to make this a non-issue, and they can do it for less money than it would take to install the infrastructure required for lowlight and infrared illuminated cameras. Intruders that are hiding in the bush or totally camouflaged will have their activity detected immediately a thermal imaging camera.

From a security point of view the thermal camera is the world’s most effective Passive Infrared Detector (PIR), and now that prices have reduced significantly it is becoming an increasingly attractive proposition for the commercial security market.

NETWORK SYSTEMS

THE EMERGENCE OF NETWORK BASED DEVICES g

By Clifford Vituli*

The new technological age has started to significantly impact upon the security industry and especially upon small operators.

GONE ARE THE DAYS where operators could run a security only (stand alone) network. Today operators face ‘switched on’ clients who want their system to be cutting-edge on a ‘shoe string’ budget by making use of their previous infrastructure investments to minimise installation and ongoing maintenance costs.

Accordingly, in order to remain competitive within the security market, it is necessary for operators to design security systems which coexist with the client’s existing environment and engage with new technologies capable of utilising a client’s existing infrastructure. These may include Local Area Networks (LANs), Wide Area Networks (WANs) and computer hardware including servers, switches and back-up power infrastructure.

There have been various instances of clients being advised by their IT service providers and in-house IT departments that in order to receive cost savings they need to ensure that their cameras, CCTV systems and Access Control systems utilise the client’s pre-existing backbone infrastructure when it has the capacity to deal with the added load. In many instances clients have been seen to 24 //SECURITY INSIDER OCTOBER 2014

upgrade their existing IT infrastructure via negotiations with their various suppliers (especially in cases where they have procurement contracts with Dell, CISCO and HP) for the provision of appropriate servers by the supplier which allows for ease of maintenance.

IP devices have been around for a while now, so why have operators been slow to react?

In its early stages the use of IP devices was cost prohibitive. Today IP devices are cost competitive.

Lack of knowledge about IT and the emerging technology. There is now a huge amount of information available to operators and operators can undertake ICT courses offered by IT training providers.

A fear that any such system would be insecure because it is part of a shared network. This concern is unnecessary as when correctly set-up the system will benefit from additional security features which exist within the client’s environment. Operators would be well advised to remember that all information generated by the system is nothing more than data which is capable of being protected through the client’s environment using firewalls, dedicated ports, VPNs, Virtual

Local Area Networks (VLANs), access controlled by IT administrators’, data backups, as well as the usual limited physical access to the servers.

With the emergence of the NBN which will bring more reliable high speed connectivity and improved data allowances, the security market has seen an explosion of emerging technologies which will integrate with the NBN. Such developments include but are not limited to: • IP cameras which offer better resolution with more stylish design features than the old analogue type cameras; • IP intercoms which when used through the high speed networks have been found to have less problems associated with latency; • IP access control (hosted); and Other devices run using Power over Ethernet (POE); The use of IP cameras has overcome many of the issues experienced with the use of the older analogue cameras, including: • Analogue cameras having a shortened lifespan by comparison to IP cameras which means they require replacement more often than their IP camera counterparts.

NETWORK SYSTEMS

• Analogue camera installation requiring the use of RG59 or coaxial cables (to transfer the images to the system) together with a figure 8 cable (to carry power). The IP camera has the ability to use POE which results in the use of a single cable for both powering the camera and transmitting data to the system.

• Analogue systems also often experience syncing problems as a result of AC power differentials caused when an installation has multiple power supplies which are run on separate electrical phases.

The design of the IP cameras makes them less susceptible to this problem.

Unlike many analogue devices IP based devices are programmable via the network, and are much easier to maintain as some servicing, adjustments and diagnostics can be conducted remotely by connecting to the network. This may result in a fault being fixed more efficiently with improved diagnostics and without the need for a technician to attend onsite, which is a major incentive

when operators have clients in remote locations or with non-standard operating hours. Essentially once this type of technology is deployed it is relatively straightforward to access data and make changes to the system using the client’s VPN, both on computer and via mobile devices including smartphones, tablets and the like.

• IP devices and the data they produce can be automatically backed up to the client’s servers.

The devices power can be backedup using an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS), where available, to ensure that those services do not ‘go down’ in the event of a power outage.

UPS tend to be better maintained by the client and have been found to offer improved capacity than the preexisting batteries installed in analogue systems.

As the NBN rolls out operators will find that alarm manufactures will be incorporating onboard Ethernet ports onto their panels so that the system can communicate back-to-base to the Central Monitoring Station over the network via TCP/IP protocols.

The Central Monitoring Stations have, in an effort to keep pace with the technological developments emerging, taken steps to implement the installation of IP receivers and now use server based software that is capable of receiving communications from client’s IP based system. It is likely that as the future unfolds the industry will find that the older technology is no longer supported, with some larger manufacturers already signaling “the end of life” of dialer communicators.

Consequently operators need to act now to ensure that they keep pace with emerging technologies to avoid losing their footing in the rapidly changing security landscape. It is strongly suggested that operators undertake the necessary training to keep pace and at the very least gain basic knowledge of IT Infrastructure and IP addressing. Accredited short courses are available through various training organisations. *Clifford Vituli is a security professional with over 30 years industry experience.

SAFE WORKPLACE MANAGEMENT

ASIAL SAFE WORKPLACE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Making Workplace Health and Safety easier for members g

By Kirsty Jagger, Marketing & Communications Manager, ASIAL

ACROSS AUSTRALIA, October is Safe Work Australia Month. Safety month encourages people to get involved in and concentrate on safety in their workplace to reduce death, injury and disease. This year’s theme is Work safe, home safe.

Safe Work Month provides an opportunity for everyone to make health and safety a priority no matter where you work or what sort of work you do. The Safe Work Australia website includes some helpful tips that to get you started.

To coincide with Safe Work Australia Month, ASIAL is launching its Safe Workplace Management system.

Imagine a Safe Workplace Management (SWM) system tailored to meet the needs of the security industry; one that creates a Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) plan for your company within minutes of signing up and helps you meet your compliance obligations in as little as 15 minutes a week.

Accessible anywhere and anytime via any internet enabled device, it’s an affordable in-house

26 //SECURITY INSIDER OCTOBER 2014

solution programmed to provide legislative updates specific to your needs, keeping you informed of your obligations and safeguarding against breaches.

ASIAL members no longer have to imagine. The ASIAL-Safe Workplace Management System (ASIAL-SWM) has arrived.

MEET YOUR WHS OBLIGATIONS The WHS Act 2011 places an obligation on ‘officers’ of a company to be able to demonstrate their active participation in the practical implementation of WHS preventative measures. Breaches can attract fines and penalties of up to $3 million per breach of a corporation, $600,000 per breach for an individual, and up to

five years imprisonment.

While most approach their obligations with the best intentions, WHS can be complex and time consuming. Even the most well meaning ‘officers’ risk being in breach.

ASIAL-SWM can help mitigate that risk. It’s the smart, safe and easier way to do business.

Extremely easy to use and suitable for organisations of all sizes, ASIALSWM tells you what to do, when to do it and why you’re doing it, via a handy home page task list and automated email reminders.

FIND EVERYTHING YOU NEED IN THE ONE PLACE By signing up you also have immediate access to a complete online WHS package that includes but is not limited to: • WHS documentation, including relevant legislation, codes of practice and news • WHS policies and procedures manual, in template form for your modification • Incident and injury report forms, that can be sent straight to the insurer

SAFE WORKPLACE MANAGEMENT

SAFE WORKPLACE MANAGEMENT

Tailored to your industry and your business, ASIAL-SWMS provides opportunities for continuous improvement through a proactive and consistent approach to WHS. One of the many ways in which ASIAL-SWMS supports continuous improvement is by providing a mechanism for staff involvement; one of the principles of best practice WHS risk management because it’s recognised that the sharing of staff experiences, insights and feedback can be of considerable benefit to a business.

As such, ASIAL-SWM offers single administrator access in the office and a mobile account for all staff in the field, enabling users to instantly upload site specific photos of incidents and risks, and allowing administrators to monitor WHS performance and risk rating with the click of a button.

Meanwhile the system is keeping comprehensive online records, so you can forget the messy paper trail.

ASIAL believes effective health and safety management is consistent with good business outcomes, which is why our SWM system aims to enhance positive WHS outcomes for business.

These outcomes include but are not limited to: • Improved safety culture among employees • Productive working relationships • Strong staff retention rates • Reduced injuries and injury related costs • Enhanced business reputation • Improved business opportunities • Long term business efficiency

The use of Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA), more commonly known as ‘Drones’, has been a hot topic in recent times with the list of operational applications being endless. But in the excitement of the ‘doing’, many fail to recognise the operational legalities.

THE SECURITY INDUSTRY is not on its own in investigating the application of RPAs. When any organisation uses or intends to use RPAs for commercial purposes, significant compliance of a regulatory regime comes into play.

The current regulations regarding the commercial use and operation of an RPA includes training and licensing for organisations and operators.

30 //SECURITY INSIDER OCTOBER 2014

RPAs come in all shapes and sizes, from those that are the size of a 737 to some that will fit in the palm of your hand. RPAs can be used for such purposes as fire fighting, search and rescue, disaster relief, border patrol, weather monitoring, hurricane tracking, law enforcement and a range of general security applications.

The introduction of RPAs to assist

the delivery of a security service is a reality. However, the service does come with a cost. One security provider recently indicated that meeting the regulatory requirements for an organisation and the training requirements for an operator leaves little change from $8,000, not including the purchase of the RPA. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority

DRONES

(CASA) is charged with the responsibility of managing the safety of the skies and provides this via a regulated framework under the Civil Aviation Act/Regulations and the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations. CASA classifies an unmanned aircraft by what you do with it.

RPA’s are also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).

The term Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) includes not only the aircraft, but also all the ground support equipment and personnel. When considered as a whole, the common term and one that CASA has and is moving towards using via regulation is RPAs. Licensing is not required for the flying of model aircraft unless the flying is for commercial hire and reward although significant restrictions do apply. With RPAs, CASA’s position is that UAS pilots need general aviation knowledge in line with a private pilot’s licence, as well as specific unmanned

aircraft skills. To fly an RPA of any size for commercial reward you need a UAV controller’s certificate and an unmanned operator’s certificate (UOC) for your business.

Current process for approving RPA Operations The current process for obtaining an RPA operator’s certificate is quite rigorous. This includes: • Successfully completing exams for the relevant Private Pilot’s Licence, either aeroplane or helicopter, depending on the aircraft type to be flown (this equates to applicants required to complete about 90 per cent of a conventional private pilot’s course); • Obtaining a Class 2 medical certificate; • Obtaining a UAV Controller Certificate; • Applying for an instrument rating exam exemption; • Completing a risk assessment on

the planned operations; • Developing operations, flight and maintenance manuals.

CASA recognises the commercial burden on the industry and is looking at ways to make this process less onerous without compromising safety.

In February 2012, there were 15 holders of Operators’ Certificates in Australia operating small remotely piloted aircraft for commercial purposes. Today, this number has increased to 145 and growing.

Limits of RPA Use • Unmanned aircraft activities are approved for operations over unpopulated areas up to 400 feet AGL (above ground level) (120 metres), or higher with special approvals; • Special approvals are required for other areas; • Operations are not permitted in controlled airspace without CASA approval and coordination with SECURITY INSIDER OCTOBER 2014// 31

DRONES

Airservices Australia; • Can be operated in visual meteorological conditions and / or instrument meteorological conditions with appropriate approvals.

In today’s environment any RPA used for commercial reward, requires the organisation to have an unmanned operators certificate and the individual controlling the RPA requires a UAV controller’s certificate.

Australia was the first country in the world to regulate remotely piloted aircraft, with the first operational regulation for unmanned aircraft in 2002. (Civil Aviation Safety Regulation [CASR] Part 101 being the applicable regulation). That legislation is now under pressure considering the rapid growth in RPA sales and the size and capability of RPAs. In July 2014 the Federal Government conducted an enquiry into drones and the regulation of air safety and privacy. The House of Representatives Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs delivered their final report with recommendations for legislative review considering RPAs in the area of civil aviation safety, privacy, harmonisation of surveillance laws and communication with stakeholders.

CASA is reviewing CASR Part 101, and will modernise it into CASR Part 102.

Phase 1 will involve amendments to CASR Part 101 and the development of a notice of proposed rule-making - 1309OS - Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems Terminology and Weight Categorisation of Remotely Piloted Aircraft. This will, among other things, formalise the name change to RPA and RPAS. There will also be a suite of advisory circulars (ACs) providing guidance to industry, including: • AC101-1 - General • AC101-4 - Training and Licensing • AC101-5 - Operations

• AC101-6 - Manufacturing and Initial Airworthiness • AC101-7 - Maintenance and Continuing Airworthiness • AC101-8 - Safety Management/ Human Performance • AC101-9 - Applying for an Operators Certificate • AC101-10 - Operations in Controlled Airspace Phase 2 will consist of a complete re-write of the regulation resulting in a new CASR Part 102 for RPAs. CASA expects to have this done by 2016.

At this stage CASA is proposing that RPAs be divided into groups characterised by their weight. The riskbased approach, based on the weight of the RPA will also be assessed to more appropriately match the level of complexity and risk posed by the applicant’s proposed operation.

The Regulator is considering four weight categories. The larger unmanned aircraft will be subjected to greater oversight.

Operators of the smallest Group A, weighing 2kg or less, will be able to fill out an online authorisation form and receive electronic approval to operate.

The 2kg to 7kg and 7kg to 20kg classes will require risk assessments and be more closely governed. Those above 20kg will also need a safety case. It is recognised that some RPAs weighing in the vicinity of 20kg have the ability of flying from Australia’s east coast to New Zealand.

The surveillance ability of RPA has generated robust discussion. In July 2014 the South Australian Parliament debated the introduction of amending surveillance legislation only to have the amendment bill indefinitely delayed following concerns over media surveillance, use of RPAs and privacy issues.

Privacy Although CASA has no regulatory responsibility over privacy with

32 //SECURITY INSIDER OCTOBER 2014

regard the use of RPAs, the House of Representatives Standing Committee enquiry into drones and the regulation of air safety and privacy, raised concerns over the use of RPAs and privacy. The final report recognised that Australia’s privacy regime is complex and at times outdated by emerging technology, and significant variations exist between jurisdictions.

The Committee indicated that RPA use should not compromise the privacy of individuals or businesses.

The capacity of RPAs to enter private property, travel unnoticed, and to record images and sounds, that can be streamed live, create significant opportunities for privacy breaches.

The use of RPAs should also take into account the privacy principles that were reviewed and changed in March 2014. The changes included a new set of Australian Privacy Principles that regulate the handling of personal information by Australian Government agencies, businesses with a turnover of more than $3 million or those trading in personal information and all private health service providers. If information obtained and retained can identify an individual, the information is required to be appropriately managed.

Eyes in the sky are not a right but a privilege. With the rapid developments in drone technology, the possible opportunities and applications for security providers are numerous. However, in doing so security operators have an inherent responsibility to deliver professional services within the legislative framework provided.

This article summarises information provided by CASA, industry stakeholders and reference to the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs enquiry into drones and the regulation of air safety and privacy.

UNDERSTANDING THE

NUTS & BOLTS

ABOUT ANNUAL LEAVE FOR EMPLOYEES g

By Chris Delaney

It is important that employer’s thoroughly understand their rights and responsibilities when dealing with requests from employees for annual leave, payment of employees while on annual leave and payment on termination of employment.

ASIAL corporate members have access to a wide range of industrial relations services including our Industrial Relations Bulletins, which provide plain English articles on matters affecting employers and employees in the workplace. These can be accessed in the members section of the ASIAL website.

In this article we answer some of the commons questions surrounding the accrual, giving and taking of annual leave along with payment of annual leave on termination of employment.

The minimum entitlements to annual leave Permanent Full time and Part time employees (not a casual employee) are entitled to four weeks of paid annual leave for each year of service with the employer.

An employee’s entitlement to annual leave accrues on a continuous basis according to the number of ordinary hours they worked.

A ‘shift worker’ is entitled to five weeks paid annual leave. This is the case if an award or agreement applies to the employee, and defines or describes the employee as a shift worker for the purposes of the National Employment Standards (NES).

As a general guideline only, the Fair

Work Ombudsman considers that an employee is likely to be entitled to the additional week of annual leave when they have worked a combined total of 34 Sundays and public holidays in a 12 month period. Note that a meaningful number of both Sundays and public holidays would need to be worked.

An award or agreement-free employee can also qualify for the shift worker entitlement of five weeks annual leave if all of the following apply to the employee: • they are employed in an enterprise where shifts are continuously rostered 24 hours a day for seven days a week • they are regularly rostered to work those shifts • they regularly work on Sundays and public holidays.

Annual leave continues to accrue when an employee takes a period of paid annual leave or paid personal/carer’s leave. Annual leave will not accrue on unpaid leave unless it is community service leave or it is provided for in an award or agreement.

Awards and agreements may supplement the NES by providing for additional annual leave entitlements. Award or agreement-free employees may agree with their employer to purchase extra annual leave in exchange for forgoing an equivalent amount of pay.

Taking Annual Annual leave under the NES does not have to be taken each year, as the entitlement can accumulate. ASIAL recommends that employees take at least one period of two or more weeks leave per year in order to have a good respite from work. Ultimately it is up to each employer and employee to agree on when and for how long paid annual leave may be taken.

An employee is not on paid annual leave if the period during which an employee takes paid annual leave: • includes a day or part-day that is a public holiday • includes a period of any other leave (other than unpaid parental leave), or a period of absence from employment due to community service leave.

Payment for Annual Leave When annual leave is taken, the minimum requirement is that an employee must be paid at their base rate of pay for the ordinary hours they would have worked during the period. An employee’s base rate of pay is the rate of pay payable to an employee for his or her ordinary hours of work, but not including any of the following: • incentive-based payments and bonuses SECURITY INSIDER OCTOBER 2014// 33

Day workers are paid an annual leave loading of 17.5% of the base rate of pay while shift workers are paid either: • the amount the employee would have earned during the period of leave for working theirFlexible normal hours, exclusive of - More part-time overtime, had they not been on leave; or provisions • the-employee’s ordinary time Substitution of public rate, holidays together where applicable, the bywith, agreement between the leadingemployer hand allowance, relieving and the employee officer’s allowance and first aid - Time off in lieu of overtime allowance respectively, plus a loading of - Loss of security license 17.5% whichever is the greater.
