Introduction
This Field Security Plan intends to provide all staff and advisers working on the Basic Education
Sector Transformation (BEST) Program with a comprehensive understanding of their living and
working environment as well as a sound basis for managing security risks at program locations.
Purpose
The purpose of this plan is to inform BEST staff of the security situation, guidelines, policies, and
operating procedures for the program.
The Field Security Plan will be reviewed quarterly and updated as required. Ultimately, the Security
Management Team decides what changes need to be incorporated into the Field Security Plan.
Revisions may be based on: 1) any observed changes in the threat environment; 2) changes in the
Program teams organisational structure; and 3) lessons learned that can be incorporated into planning
to improve the overall effectiveness of the security program.
Policy
Security plays an integral role in delivering program objectives and involves providing for the protection
of our people, assets and reputation. Cardnos commitment to security is documented in Cardnos
Group Security Policy (available upon request from Cardno). Management is committed to ensuring
that employees and the organisation:
> Provides for the safety of people and the public.
> Maintains and enhances the organisations reputation within the market place and amongst
stakeholders.
> Acts ethically.
Where it is necessary to prioritise the focus of management, the organisation will:
One:
Protect the health and safety of its people, their families and others affected persons.
Two:
Protect its reputation, relationships with stakeholders and assets.
Three: Minimise the disruption on the organisations programs.

Responsibilities and Authorities: Security is both a shared and individual responsibility, with its
effectiveness dependent on the involvement of all personnel. All personnel have a responsibility to
take adequate precautions to protect themselves and others from injury or harm, and to protect
program personnel and assets.
Individual responsibilities for security are as follows:
> The Country Manager has overall responsibility for the safety and security of all Cardno personnel
in the Philippines. The Country Manager is James Young.
> The Contractor Representative is responsible for ensuring that Cardno meets all contractual
terms of agreement, to include provisions related to safety and security. The Contractor
Representative is Jane Papasergio.
> The Team Leader is responsible and accountable for the safety and security of program staff and
assets. The Team Leader is Greg Ryan-Gadsden.
Page 1
INTERNAL USE ONLY
BEST
> The Operations Manager serves as the Security Focal Point is based in Manila and is responsible
for the day-to-day coordination and compliance of security programs and activities. The assigned
Security Focal Point is Des Perkins. In the absence of the Operations Manager, the Deputy
Operations Manager assumes all responsibilities of the Operations Manager related to safety and
security.
> The Security Adviser serves as the subject matter expert for the development and implementation
of security programs, plans and activities. The designated Security Adviser is Matt Williams.
Security Management Team (SMT): The SMT consists of the Country Manager, Contractor
Representative, Team Leader, Security Focal Point, and the Security Adviser. The SMT meets
regularly to discuss any required updates to the Security Risk Assessment and the implementation or
required control measures.
Security Risk Assessment: Supported by the Security Adviser, the SMT shall identify, evaluate, and
proactively address security risks. Where appropriate, mitigation measures should be put in place to
reduce operational risks. The Security Risk Assessment should be evaluated and updated quarterly, or
as required.
Security Controls and Minimum Operating Standards: The Security Adviser shall recommend to
the SMT security procedures, standards and programs that are risk appropriate and aligned with the
nature and scale of program operations.
Legal, Regulatory, and Statutory Requirements: Security programs, policies, and procedures shall
comply with all legal, regulatory, and statutory requirements.
No Gun Policy: Personnel are not permitted to carry firearms while on official assignment or while in
program vehicles or facilities.
Audit: Compliance with security policies and procedures is regularly tested and checked during
periodic audits. Pacific Strategies and Assessments Inc shall conduct an annual audit of the security
program to ensure the organisations conformity with the security protocols.

Security and Safety Incident Reporting
All program personnel are required to report security and safety incidents. Whenever possible,
security and safety incidents should be reported to the Operations Manager and Country Manager
within the following timeframes:
Definition
Reporting Criteria
Crisis
There is an ongoing emergency; there is an immediate

danger to personnel or facilities.
Within 15 minutes or as soon as

possible
Serious Incident
An event has occurred that has resulted in serious injury or

death;
Within 1 hour or as soon as possible

(immediate notification for a death)
High Potential
Incident
An incident (injury or near miss) that could easily have

resulted in a fatality or life threatening injury;
Within 1 hour or as soon as possible
Incident
An event has occurred that has resulted in minor injuries;
Within 8 hours
Event
An event has occurred but no injuries have been reported;

events include near-misses that could have resulted in
serious injury or death;
Within 1 working day
Wherever possible, the Operations Manager and Country Manger should be contacted by telephone.
Email or text message should be avoided whenever possible. The Country Manager should ensure all
persons in the SMT are notified of the incident.
Following the incident resolution, a formal report should be sent to the Country Manager, Contractor
Representative, and Operations Manager. For health and safety incidents, please refer to Form C
(Health and Safety Incident Report) at the back of this document. For security incidents, refer to Form
D (Security Incident Report).
14
Collateral Events
While some events may not directly or immediately impact program personnel, they have an effect on
the overall safety and security environment. Examples may include a terrorist attack in the region,
severe weather, a kidnapping, or a criminal incident. Program personnel are encouraged to report
such events to the Operations Manager via telephone call in a timely manner so that the incident can
be assessed and a determination made as to whether further security controls are required.
For major events with the potential to impact program security, a Security Incident Report (Form D)
should be filed. While major events may not directly or immediately impact the safety of program
personnel, it may present elevated threat conditions that require attention. Examples of such incidents
include:
> An explosion in a major city where the program operates
> A major engagement between the Philippine military and insurgency groups in the region, resulting
in significant casualties
> The kidnapping of a development worker in program areas
> Security threats or a security incident at airports in program areas
> An armed siege of a major urban area in the region

Counselling for Traumatic Events
Cardno is committed to the provision of support to staff and their dependents who suffer trauma as a
result of an accident or security incident while working for Cardno. If an office staff member or their
dependent is involved in an accident or security incident, that person or someone on their behalf is
required to complete a Traumatic Incident Report using the attached Form E in the Philippines
Country Office Security and Incident Reporting Plan and shall submit it to the Country Manager (or
nominee). Trauma counselling is effective in assisting victims cope with the effects of such incidents.
Cardnos belief in the effectiveness of counselling is such that it is Cardnos policy that one counselling
session is compulsory and will be arranged by the Cardno Emerging Markets HR Adviser as soon as
possible after the incident. Thereafter it is the staff members decision or dependants decision as to
whether they wish to continue counselling (at Cardnos expense). Cardno firmly believes that
undertaking counselling is a positive step towards recovery. It does not reflect badly on individuals or
compromise opportunities for continued or future employment.
Cardno has an agreement with a specialist trauma-counselling consultancy to provide trauma
counselling services as required and at short notice.
