Lockdown
Training.
Standard fire drills do not save lives during a person-threat. Relying on 1990s evacuation protocols for a 2026 security event is a catastrophic compliance failure.
Expert Alert:
Australian WHS Law (Section 19) requires PBCUs to address all "reasonably foreseeable" risks. Person-threats are now a mandatory audit point.
The Expert Choice
"We bridge the gap between fire safety and tactical response. Our training focuses on the first 120 seconds—the period that saves lives before police arrive."

Mandatory Requirements.
Under the WHS Act, "I didn't think it would happen" is not a legal defense. PBCUs must demonstrate proactive management of person-threat risks.
WHS Duty of Care (Section 19)
The WHS Act mandates that PBCUs eliminate or minimize risks to health and safety. In 2026, person-threats are a "reasonably foreseeable" risk that requires documented training.
Hardware vs. Human Detection
Fire systems auto-detect; person-threats require human detection. Without specific training on the first 120 seconds of an event, human "freeze" response becomes a fatal liability.
AS 3745 Lockdown Protocols
While AS 3745 covers emergencies broadly, specific lockdown and lockout procedures must be site-verified. Generic templates fail under the dynamic pressure of a person-threat.
Why We are the Only Choice for High-Risk Facilities.
Technical Security Advisory
We don't just do fire; we understand the mechanics of armed threats and person-risk mitigation.
Run, Hide, Tell Site-Mapping
We identify literal "hide" zones and secondary egress paths that are never shown on standard fire maps.
Competency-Based Drills
Our drills measure the "action time" of staff—ensuring the "freeze" response is replaced with a compliant survival protocol.
Expert Consultancy
Any facility in Australia without a documented and tested Person-Threat emergency procedure is currently in Statutory Breach. We remediate this position in a single intensive session.

The Managing Director Standard
"I treat lockdown training as a technical mandatory. If your staff only know how to walk to an assembly point for fire, they are uniquely vulnerable to a person-threat. We replace that vulnerability with a site-specific protocol that meets WHS Section 19 duties."
