The job lasts 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, of course, not for the same person, but for several of them, whose mission it is to keep safe the connection between the mainland and Croatia’s largest island. Croatian Motorways (HAC) are looking for security guards who will monitor Krk bridge and make sure everything is in order for 12 months, from the houses where tolls were paid until last June to the “other side”, and the “gage” to be paid 850 thousand kuna will start in April, reports Večernji List.
As many as 26,280 hours are expected to be done by a team of three people, who will record their arrivals and departures electronically, in order for the employer to ensure that these hours are actually worked, and the company from which the security guards will arrive must provide and real-time digital surveillance of security guards’ detours. Why? So that “potential incidents” could be reported at the same time, and a picture of them could arrive. Everything that is done must be submitted to HAC in a report by the 5th of each month, and the Motorways will provide the “guardians” of the bridge less than a kilometer and a half long with an equipped working room with heating, electricity, telephone, toilet, and dressing space”.
”The Krk Bridge is a protected object of national importance, which needs to be safeguarded in order to prevent illegal actions directed towards it”, HAC explains. They also mentioned that “no devices and equipment for technical protection have been installed on the Krk Bridge”, so it is “necessary to ensure physical protection, which includes the presence of persons performing protection and guarding activities”. Or, in other words, the bridge does not have cameras, so surveillance must be done with the eyes.
”Since HAC does not have its own capacity to perform physical surveillance and protection, it is necessary to provide it from the outside, in compliance with regulations (Law on Private Protection and Ordinance on the conditions and manner of implementation of physical protection)”, they added.
