Security Fences - 3 PDH

Course Description

This course applies to all construction, renovation, and repair projects including temporary construction that includes security fencing and gates.

Security managers, security personnel, planners, designers, architects, and engineers may use this information when evaluating existing and providing new security fences and gates. This course is not intended to address procedural issues such as threat levels or to provide specific design criteria such as vehicle impact forces.
