Mike Bluestone, Director of the security company Corps Security’s Corps Consult division, will deliver a presentation at Facilities Show 2016, which runs beside IFSEC from June 21 to 23, at ExCeL, London. Bluestone, a former chairman of the Security Institute, will provide a summary of the issues affecting organisations and outline some of the considerations to address to make them more resilient, so that they can better protect people, property and assets.
The Facilities Show 2016 will be holding a complementary educational programme which includes practical and strategic presentations.
Having worked at a senior level in private security for nearly 25 years, Mike is widely recognised for his expertise in, and contribution to, security management, investigations and training. He joined the Corps in 2010 and is the approved trainer in security management for the British Institute of Facilities Management. He is a regular guest broadcaster on the BBC, frequently speaks at seminars and conferences, and has had many articles published on corporate security and related topics.
Countering Terrorism – Practical Guidance for FMs will take place on Wednesday, June 22 between 3.20pm and 3.50pm in the FM Operational Excellence Arena. Mike will cover a range of topics including how to identify the sources of threats, terrorist methodology and the impact of terrorism on public and private sector organisations. He will also examine BS 65000 Guidance for Organisational Resilience, the importance of policies and procedures, employee training and awareness programmes, and the need for regular reviews and audits. The presentation will then go on to look at why enterprises should have the right level of physical and electronic security in place, and how to go about ensuring that an infrastructure can cope with an unplanned event.
Mike said: ‘The direct and indirect effects of a terrorist attack can have a devastating impact on an organisation and the need to have systems in place to deal with such an event should not be ignored. I’m looking forward to giving delegates a wealth of information about organisational resilience that will help them deal with this issue in an efficient, effective and decisive manner.’
