What should you be aware of when using your sense of touch during security work?

Textures
Hazards that can cut/hurt you
Temperature of an object relevant to the physical environment
All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

Being aware of all aspects related to your sense of touch is crucial in security work for several reasons. Textures can provide important clues about an object or surface, indicating whether it is secure or potentially compromised. Recognizing hazards that can cut or hurt you is vital for personal safety; sharp edges or unstable structures can pose significant risks while responding to security incidents. Additionally, the temperature of an object can signal an abnormal situation, such as the presence of a fire or the abnormal heating of machinery, which may indicate malfunction or danger. Therefore, integrating all these elements—textures, potential hazards, and temperature—into your situational awareness enhances your ability to act effectively and safely in various security scenarios.
