Abstract
Occupational stress factors of the security employee are undisputable. The action of the
security guard can be a person’s security, valuables’ security, convoying, a V.I.P. bodyguard
duty, protection of the mass events, etc. Multiple stressors are frequently present,
especially during a 24-hrs duty of the security employees, under bad weather conditions,
and under constant potential danger. Several other negative factors of the security guard
occupation can be distinguished: low wages, overtime work fatigue, traumatic work incidents,
risk of the license revoked, objectifi cation of the worker by the employer. Other
frequent factors can be observed such as low self-esteem of the security guard, low competence
of the co-worker within the team, unsecured employment conditions, confl ict of
functions within the team, maintaining the security guard function under the pressure of
unemployment and/or lack of perspectives, or lack of concretized life plans of the employee.
A major negative factor, among essential disadvantages (unfavorable conditions) of the
security guard occupation, is the absence of any psychological support under crisis situations.
The absence of systemic solutions, which could facilitate elimination of the occupational
stressors, is evident in the security sector. Lack of adequate knowledge and
skills in managing the occupational stress pose a substantial risk of „radical solution”, such as a suicide attempt. Incidents of the bodyguard suicides in the real life conditions
are presented and possible preventive actions are proposed (suggested).
