Contingency planning is an important aspect of a comprehensive security operation. As the H1N1 flu virus has continued to spread, the ISS corporate team (led by Andrea Pierce, VP of Quality and Compliance) has invested time in updating the company Pandemic Flu Plan. This planning involves both an internal and external review. |
 |
| Internally, we have updated and refined our corporate human resources policies. Regular reviews insure the process is kept current and appropriate ISS personnel are ready to respond to anticipated challenges.
Externally, each client location has been reviewed to determine critical security functions and to maintain compliance with client company policies. The integrity of day-to-day security service depends upon the planning and implementation of effective contingency plans. Preventative action measures have also been updated and reinforced with our security force. Hand sanitizers, tissues and gloves have been distributed to each of our security sites, along with H1N1 / Pandemic flu posters. ISS security officers have received additional training in preparation and response should an outbreak occur. Vaccination shot incentives have been offered to security officers to encourage personal action. |
|
| Industrial Security Service is committed to the local communities where we live and work. We have partnered with the Columbus Dept. of Health to be the community outreach point-of-contact for the latest updates and general information for the H1N1 / Pandemic flu. Jennifer Taylor, Business Development Manager & Marketing Director, has been an active part of this effort. Jennifer was the host of an information seminar in September, “Keeping you and your employees healthy during the 2009-10 flu season.” |  |
| Fishing for Kids | |
Industrial Security employees Kevin Day, Matt Henderson, Adam Smith and Tim Cember spent the day with the kids, helping them catch a lot of fish, and most important, a ton of smiles! |
|
| LaFarge Corporation, located on the Ohio River in Silver Grove, Kentucky, hosts an annual fishing event on their property for underprivileged children. They open their property up to boys and girls, their sponsors, along with volunteer employees, so that they can experience the sport of fishing in two of their overflow lakes.
Industrial Security Service was pleased to help sponsor this program for local kids. Sponsors provided fishing poles, bait, tackle, lunch and refreshments. Participating children were able to keep their fishing gear along with a stringer full of fun memories. |
 Events included fishing, “minnow races”, even a casting contest! |

| On September 18, 2009, AGC Automotive celebrated 20 years of business operations at their Elizabethtown Kentucky plant. The “Asahi Glass Corporation” is one of the largest providers of custom designed glass (automotive windshields), as well as flat glass (commercial buildings), in the world! The AGC E-town plant specializes in providing windshields to automotive manufacturers throughout the eastern and central United States.
In addition to simply being proud at being invited to attend as a current provider of security, we were especially privileged to “share” in this celebration as a true partner. Industrial Security Service has been providing service for this particular plant for more than the 20 years! We actually provided service during the construction phase in 1988, as well. In honor of our relationship, Industrial Security Service presented Mr. Tom Crittenden, Plant Manager, with a framed painting that celebrated one of the many traditions associated with the Commonwealth of Kentucky: horse breeding. This painting is currently on display in their plant lobby area. Attending the ceremony from AGC Automotive included Mr. Brad Kitterman, President & CEO, Mr. Yoshihiro Hoshita, Automotive Manufacturing Unit Leader, Mr. Tom Throop, V.P. Automotive Business Unit, Mr. Mike Antanochi, V.P. Operations, and Mr. Tom Crittenden, Plant Manager. Attending on behalf of Industrial Security Service was V.P. of Quality & Compliance Andrea Pierce, Region Manager, Operations & Business Development Tim Cember, Operations Manager Greg Noe, and John Richardson who has been the Site Supervisor at AGC Automotive for over eighteen (18) years!!! |

| Hawk Watch Program |
 |
The Hawk Watch Program is a preventative action program. The Hawk Watch Program focuses on staying alert to everyday occurrences in order to determine potential in-cidents before they occur and ensure that they don’t happen. If you spot a potential hazard or something that has the potential to cause a non-conformity, please fill out a Preventive Action Request (PAR). Management will review the request and determine what action, if any, should be taken. |
