Managed security services in Nauru

Security considerations in Nauru

Programs usually cover offices, retail and warehouse sites, hotels, project compounds and facilities linked to the port and phosphate industry. All sites are within a short drive of each other on the ring road, which makes supervision simpler, but flights are limited, so relief officers need to be arranged locally. Nauruan and English are both in daily use. Coverage plans should include relief officers, staffing for national events and procedures for outdoor posts in the heat.
