Armed Security Guards Industry – Violent Risks for Security Guards
Armed security guards play a very important role in protecting places like hospitals, banks, and office buildings. But this important job comes with many risks, including a highly increased chance of violence. When they are involved in a violent incident, armed security guards may suffer injuries like:
- Gunshot or knife wounds
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Broken bones
For example, an armed security guard could suffer gunshot injuries while preventing a burglary or sustain a traumatic brain injury after being hit in the head while breaking up a violent altercation. They could also be injured in a slip or fall while pursuing a violent instigator, which can lead to injuries like broken bones, lacerations, or neck and spine injuries.
Injuries suffered by armed security guards are often serious or fatal. Additionally, the chance of violence and injuries greatly increases if they work overnight shifts or in a particularly volatile environment.
