Safety Climate Coefficient for Security Intrusion Balance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current security measures often compromise business climate as they prioritize safety over customer experience, with no existing system to effectively correlate safety solutions with their impact on business climate.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that calculates a safety/climate coefficient by determining safety and business climate indices based on security and intrusion levels, allowing security consultants to assess and optimize security measures to balance safety and business impact.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If security measures such as metal detectors are installed to increase safety level, then the safety level is improved, but the business climate deteriorates due to increased intrusion and time loss
Solution Approach 1:
The system calculates a safety/climate coefficient by changing parameters (safety level, threat level, intrusion level) to determine the optimal balance point where security measures are sufficient but not excessive, transforming the qualitative trade-off into a quantifiable metric
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback to security consultants by calculating the safety/climate coefficient based on current security measures, allowing iterative adjustment of security levels to achieve optimal balance between safety and business climate
2Reliability
If security measures are increased to reduce threat level, then the safety level is improved, but the intrusion level increases affecting customer experience
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses parameter changes by calculating the safety/climate coefficient through mathematical relationships between safety level, threat level, and intrusion level, enabling objective determination of optimal security measures

AI summary
A system, computer program product and method of correlating safety solutions implemented in a facility with the facility's business climate are provided. The system, computer program product and method are used for designing safety solutions for a facility. While doing so, a user such as a security consultant, may derive a plurality of variables from the safety solutions. The variables are used to calculate a business climate index and a safety level from which a value for a safety/climate coefficient may be calculated. The value of the coefficient indicates whether the threat level is greater than the security level, or whether the security solutions are adequate or too intrusive.
