4 COURSE DESCRIPTION Physical security products include bullet, blast and forced entry resistant doors, windows and wall panels as well as tornado rated doors. These products are a prudent safety precaution that protects the general public, while limiting an employer s liability. This one hour online course allows the design professional to review and understand the need for and applications of physical security products, particularly bullet resistant products. Design professionals will develop an understanding of the various levels of bullet resistance, as well as how to specify these products for a project. We will conclude this course with a brief 10 question quiz.

5 OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this course the design professional will be able to: Discuss the importance of protection through physical security products List various physical security products and their applications Describe testing standards and the levels of bullet resistance Understand which physical security products to specify on a given project

6 INTRODUCTION Need for bullet resistant products Bullet resistant products should be used anywhere there is a concern of attack by a firearm. It s another form of physical security against robberies, terrorist attacks, etc. Bullet resistant products should be used to protect against being shot or to limit an employer s liability for not providing adequate protection for employees.

7 INTRODUCTION con t Bullet resistant product uses Bullet resistant products are widely used in courtrooms, government and corporate offices, banks, convenience stores, gas stations, retail buildings, check cashing facilities, cashier booths, prisons, vehicles and any place where ballistic and attack resistant security is required.

64 CASE STUDIES & VIDEO

65 STUDY 1 A high profile wholesale jeweler in Manhattan wanted to upgrade the physical security in their corporate office. Level 3 bullet resistant double full lite wood doors were installed as well as a transaction window, package receiver and nonricochet fiberglass panels in the walls surrounding the window, doors and package receiver.

66 STUDY 2 Recognizing the increased security threat, a U.S. Customs office located at an international airport upgraded the ballistic protection from Level 3 (.44 Magnum) to Level 8 (7.62 mm rifle). A hollow metal door and fiberglass panels were installed at the front entrance to accomplish this security enhancement.

67 VIDEO

68 CONCLUSION With the current state of affairs around the world, physical security needs are increasingly important. If you are involved in the designing and/or specifying of security projects it is imperative that you understand all types of physical security products, especially Bullet Resistant products and their proper applications.

69 CONCLUSION Now, the design professional will be able to: Discuss the importance of protection through bullet resistant products List various bullet resistant products and their applications Describe testing standards and the levels of bullet resistance Understand which bullet resistant products to specify on a given project
