Hazards in The Industry
Security personnel often are exposed to physical and physiological trauma that can have lasting effects. This has always been an issue, but the 21st century's more violent and angry culture combined with drug- and alcohol-related violence results in more instances of security personnel being physically or verbally abused.
Other contributing factors are high workload, long hours, low pay, boredom and disregard of industry standards by employers and clients: e.g. break times, access to bathrooms and facilities, etc.

Famous quotes containing the word industry:
“I have never yet spoken from a public platform about women in industry that someone has not said, “But things are far better than they used to be.” I confess to impatience with persons who are satisfied with a dangerously slow tempo of progress for half of society in an age which requires a much faster tempo than in the days that “used to be.” Let us use what might be instead of what has been as our yardstick!”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
