We are in the throes of a public health emergency. The exhausted faces of doctors and nurses that we see in the news say it all. They are waging a war against COVID-19 and putting their lives at risk to treat and help their patients.

While roads, parks and gathering places are empty, our hospitals are filled with worried and distraught patients and their loved ones. The need for security personnel at medical facilities across the country has never been greater.

At the onset of this crisis, it quickly became evident that security officers would be essential partners to prevent the virus from spreading. Access Control Security (ACS), one of the top security guard companies in California and Arizona, immediately began training its guards in emergency preparedness and response. ACS security officers work side-by-side with medical professionals to guard heavily trafficked entrances, and help medical staff with screening visitors and patients. Our guards monitor testing in quarantine sites and triage tents.

Hospital Security Guard Responsibilities. Security guards have taken on new responsibilities to support medical staff. They check people’s temperatures with contactless thermometers and inquire about symptoms and contact history. ACS guards enforce mask mandates, social distancing, hand sanitizing and other hygiene and safety protocols. Because of their service, medical staff can focus on the care of their patients.

In addition to their screening duties, our guards’ security experience is vital. In check-in lines and waiting rooms, the stress is so intense that a sneeze or cough can cause panic. Our guards ensure that the public remains calm while waiting for medical help.
