As a security guard you have been tasked to watch over an industrial accident scene awaiting the government investigator when a member of the media approaches you for a comment. What is the best way to handle this?

Say, “no comment” then tell them they are trespassing

Ignore them

Provide them with the contact person who is authorized to provide information

The best way to handle a media approach as a security guard in such a situation is to provide them with the contact person who is authorized to provide information. It is essential that appropriate communication channels are respected in such situations. Furthermore, security guards are typically not authorized or qualified to provide official comments to the media in relation to events or incidents that occur at their place of work. It's part of the security guard's responsibility to ensure that information is provided to the correct individuals who can accurately represent the situation, hence directing the media to the authorized person is the right action.
