The Modern Slavery Act 2018 requires entities based, or operating, in Australia, which has an annual consolidated revenue of more than $100 million, to report annually on the risks of modern slavery in their operations and supply chains, and actions to address those risks. Other entities based, or operating, in Australia may report voluntarily.
This statement discloses the actions taken by Optimum Security Solutions Pty Ltd in relation to our responsibilities under the Modern Slavery Act 2018 to prevent slavery, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking within our business and supply chain.
OSS provides compliant security services through a risk management approach to deliver outcomes. Our teams are industry professionals with retail, facilities management, property, events and industrial expertise and knowledge.
OSS is committed to:
a. Reduction in resourcing volume without service compromise through productivity & innovation
b. Enhanced security measures without additional costs
c. A risk management approach in all activities and duties
d. Workforce multipliers in productivity without higher management or supervision overheads through leading-edge technologies
OSS is committed to maintaining and improving systems and processes to avoid complicity in human rights violations related to our own operations, our supply chain, and our products and services. We understand that slavery and human trafficking can occur in many forms, such as forced labour, child labour, domestic servitude, sex trafficking, workplace abuse and human trafficking. Therefore, in this statement, we use the terms “slavery and human trafficking” to encompass these various forms of coerced labour.
All our security officers are licenced and are professionally screened and vetted. Our stringent recruitment and training processes guarantee our guards deliver unparalleled professionalism, flexibility, and customer service.
Optimum Security Solutions looks forward to becoming your trusted security provision partner.
