What should be done to verify the effectiveness of personnel protection practices?

Regular evaluations and updates to policies based on new threats ensure that personnel protection practices remain effective and relevant in an ever-changing environment. This proactive approach allows organizations to identify potential vulnerabilities and adapt their strategies to address new risks that may arise. By continuously assessing the potential threats and the effectiveness of the current practices, organizations can implement necessary changes before incidents occur, thereby enhancing overall safety and security.

In contrast, relying on old performance reviews does not provide current insights into the effectiveness of existing practices and may overlook emerging threats. Increasing the number of staff in security roles, while it may seem beneficial, does not directly address whether the practices in place are adequate or effective. Waiting for incidents to occur is a reactive approach that can lead to preventable risks and compromises the safety of personnel. Therefore, the commitment to regular evaluations and updates is critical for maintaining and improving personnel protection measures.
