In a situation where some workers are being prevented from entering premises and violence is threatened, the best immediate action for a CISF officer is to facilitate the entry of those who wish to work. Escorting them demonstrates authority, protects the willing workers’ right to access their workplace, and asserts control over the situation without immediate use of force.

Ensuring lawful access to the workplace while maintaining order is a priority for security forces during labor disputes.

Calling the CSO (A) is administrative; firing in the air (B) is a dangerous last resort; arresting office-bearers (D) without clear criminal acts may escalate the situation. Escorting is a proactive, de-escalatory measure to enable legitimate activity.
