Random Search Selectors

What is random selection and what does it mean for companies?

It’s basically a process of selecting people from a group in a totally random, unpredictable and ethical manner, providing a non-discriminatory selection process for choosing individuals to be searched. It is impossible for anyone to feel they are the subject of persecution or prejudice as it is an electronic system with algorithmic randomizing software that randomly pass or stop any individual.

Individuals selected to be searched are then subjected to appropriate checks to ensure that the company’s policies are being adhered to with regards to, loss prevention, weapons, and alcohol & drug abuse. Random sampling reduces the number of time consuming investigations and provides a tangible deterrent to any employee inclined to breach your policies.

You could randomly select people to be searched, however by the very nature of using people to do the task, it cannot be truly random, and ‘people’ are not inclined to be random. This makes the our search selectors ideal for any search checkpoint at places such as retail stores, airports, mining operators, government buildings and places of work.

Since the RS2 Random Search Selectors cannot be accused of selecting somebody because of his or her ethnic background, age, and gender, religious believes or personal background, it provides the security staff with the ability to do their job without the worry of being blamed for discriminatory practices.

Random Search Selectors is truly random, unbiased and incorruptible, always ‘awake’ and functioning, and more importantly provide a high profile visible deterrent that makes random search selection an efficient and cost effective method of enforcement company policy.

Our Random search selectors are locally produced and supported with exchange rate costs having less significance.

Examples of where search selectors are being used

Retail location:

At a prominent retail chains the RS2 is used at the employee and visitor entrance. When an employee or an unsupervised visitor leaves they press the push button for either a green or red light. This quick and effective method has drastically reduced any employee theft.

Warehouse:

Similar to the retail location, one warehouse found their electronic products to disappear. With more than a hundred employees, searching everyone is not possible. With the help of the search selector employee theft fell drastically.

Airport:

In airports the search selector is used in some places as a way to see which bag should be checked, 100% randomly, no discrimination possible. It is also used at the employee entrances and places where metal detectors cannot be used.

Mining:

Our search selectors are used in mining operations for both vehicles and personnel when they leave or enter. With hundreds of staff, searching everyone is time consuming, so with the help of the search selector it provides the same level of protection with less time consumption.
