OPERATIONS SUPPORT SERVICES

The Problem

With companies now operating in dangerous regions worldwide, providing operational support services has proven problematic. Providing personnel and support services for specialized international projects has now become a vital necessity.

A new approach is needed for securing access to these resources, for the combined benefit of the host government and foreign business. This new approach cannot rely on support from the army of a major superpower, but rather, must utilize the craft, experience and skill of people who can provide both the services and associated security on a very direct level.

Operations Support Services International, an associate company of Globe Risk Holdings has the people and network structure to provide such fully integrated services.

THE ANSWER

Operations Support Services International was formed in response to a growing requirement in the international community; that being, the need to provide the personnel to enterprises pursuing re-building projects in high-risk areas.

High risk can be defined as:

• Unstable ethnic, religious or military conflicts, which endanger foreigners
• Climatic extremes, which affect the health and safety of non-resident workers
• Topographical extremes, which effect secure logistics and transport of people and equipment

We provide management consultancy services to the Exploration, Mining, Energy and Construction sector, with skills and experiences in:

• Risk Management
• Security
• Logistics

With the strength of contacts and multi-lingual personnel in many countries, the company can provide clients with a single point of reference for the provision of all security and logistic services.

With a global network , we have the ability to find and assign carefully chosen security and other specialists for projects and assignments in all countries of the world.
