Premises Security Standard and Guide Up for Adoption
Controversy is expected by the chairman of a task group over a proposed guide for premises security. Shane Clary, Ph.D., vice president of codes and standards compliance for Bay Alarm Co., Pacheco, Calif., expects the American Society for Industrial Security (ASIS) will make a motion to return NFPA 730 “Guide for Premises Security†to committee.
Chad Callaghan, vice president for enterprise loss prevention for Marriott International, is on the committee representing ASIS. He reported that ASIS was opposed to NFPA 730, citing areas in which the document is too simplistic, too specific or not specific enough.
