When it comes to the equipment and tools of the trade in the security industry, a door supervisor will need more than his SIA license to do his job effectively. From the high-visibility vests worn by many security operatives across the country to the armband that is worn by the person wearing it, this is the very reason why door monitors can do their job.
Radio
A radio to communicate with other team members is an essential piece of equipment that any door supervisor should carry. Communication and teamwork are critical to the success of security operations and clear and effective radio communication is essential.
Having a radio with you at all times will allow you to respond to your colleagues at any time and ask for help if a situation turns out to be dangerous.
First Aid Kit
A door supervisor with first aid skills is just as important as having an SIA license. In the social climate of knife crime and acid attacks, door supervisors and those working in the security sector are often the first on the scene of an incident, protecting the public and preventing situations from escalating.
A Door Supervisor who can treat a knife wound or perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is essential to ensure public safety. Therefore, it is essential that a well-stocked first aid kit with all the necessary equipment to deal with an incident be kept in a supervised area at all times.
Stab Proof Vest
Speaking of protection, a knife vest could mean the difference between another knife victim statistic and a practical door guard who has taken the necessary precautions to protect himself while on duty.
SIA Licence Armband Holder

Hi-vis Jacket
A high-visibility armband is often the obvious choice for door supervisors on duty and distinguishes them from members of the public.
But it’s not just door supervisors who can take away the security look, as the High Visibility Jacket is becoming the latest fashion accessory this season.
Skyguard Lone Worker Alarm
Today, many employees are required to work outdoors and are often isolated. Skyguard is Europe’s leading emergency service and essential safety equipment for isolated workers and vulnerable people.
An innovative and revolutionary device – using GPS-compatible mechanics and managed by a human-based call and incident management centre, it allows the user to set off an alarm and ask for help during a threatening and dangerous situation. This little piece of technology is perfect for those working in the security industry who find themselves working at night and alone.
