BPO’s, MNC’s, and other workplaces where female employees work late evenings or night shifts are required by law to provide pick-up and drop-off services with an escort guard in each vehicle. This is a mandatory requirement in many states, including Bombay Shop & Establishment Act, which requires female employees working beyond 9:30 PM to 7 AM to have cab service with an escort guard.

In Kolkata, it’s not uncommon for female employees to work later at night. Therefore, our escort security service is one of the most sought-after services by MNCs.

An Escort Guard requires special skills because the threat in this case is different than what a security guard stationed at an office, factory, or malls would face. He is required to guard female employees at night while they are in transit.

Escort Guard Training

The training an escort guard receives is of paramount importance, as they must be able to deal with a variety of potential situations, such as:

  • Vehicle break down
  • Miscreants/anti-social elements chasing the vehicle or trying to stop it
  • Vehicle catches fire
  • Unprofessional behavior of driver
  • Driver taking unfamiliar route
  • Employee request to change drop point or the route
  • Employee faces any emergency health issue
  • Ventilation issue caused by jammed windows and doors during flooding
  • Roads closed due to heavy rain
  • Riot or civil disturbance
  • Facing any other emergency

Our security guards who act as escorts for our female employees during night shifts are put through regular training in first aid, fire fighting, and self-defense so that they are prepared to handle any emergency situation that might come up. Our training program for escort guards covers all of these topics with interactive sessions, demonstrations, and role-playing exercises happening once a month in our classroom setting.

We have been successfully providing escort guards to many of our MNC clients in India and have maintained a 100% retention rate so far.
