Sir Jimmy Savile would not have been left alone with patients at Broadmoor, a former chairman of its branch of the Prison Officers Association has said.
Frank Mone, who worked at the psychiatric hospital at the time, said any evidence of him causing a threat would have been spotted immediately.
It follows claims Savile abused a 17-year-old patient in the 1970s.
Meanwhile, a man has told the Sun newspaper he was abused when he was a nine-year-old cub scout.
Police believe Savile may have sexually abused 60 people since 1959.
The Department of Health (DoH) has launched an investigation into the decision to appoint Sir Jimmy Savile as head of a taskforce overseeing Broadmoor hospital in 1988.
It said the abuse claims were "disturbing" and the entertainer should not have been appointed to the role.
EscortFrank Mone, who worked at Broadmoor at the time, told BBC 5 live: "To a trained eye, any evidence of someone like Jimmy Savile coming in and causing a possible threat to a patient or a member of staff would have been spotted immediately.
"Jimmy Savile could not walk onto a ward without staff being warned of [the] possibility of him being on the block.

"Certainly within the female blocks, he could no more walk onto a ward there than I could, because female staff had to be forewarned that a male was coming onto the ward so that an escort could be provided for them."
The claim of abuse at Broadmoor came from Steven George, who was known as Alison Pink while at the hospital and has since had a sex change.
Mr George said: "It was like another insult. I'm in a top security hospital and someone has got to me again. When does it stop?"
Mr George, who was released from Broadmoor in the 1990s when he was 38, said he told the police about what had happened, but says they did not believe him and wrote down nothing about his allegations.
The DoH had responsibility for running the high-security hospital when Savile was appointed, but West London Mental Health NHS Trust has been in charge since 2001.
Cub scoutMeanwhile, Kevin Cook, now 45, has said he became Savile's youngest known victim after he appeared on his TV show Jim'll Fix It.
He said he was molested in the star's dressing room who asked him if he was ready to "earn" his badge.
He said Savile then warned him to keep quiet, saying: "Nobody would believe you anyway, I'm King Jimmy."
Scotland Yard, which is co-ordinating the investigation, said it was following up 340 lines of inquiry and is in contact with 14 other police forces.
Police said the allegations spanned six decades, with reports up to and including 2006.
The BBC has launched two inquiries relating to the claims surrounding Savile, who presented Top of The Pops and Jim'll Fix It in the 1970s and 80s, and died in October 2011, aged 84.
Meanwhile former Radio 1 DJ Dave Lee Travis has denied claims he groped two women in BBC studios.
One of the women, who was just 17 at the time, told the Daily Mail he put his hand up her skirt in 1977, while the other claimed he touched her breasts while she was on Radio 4 in the 1980s.
Travis, who hosted the Radio 1 Breakfast Show from 1978 to 1980, said in a statement on Sunday: "I categorically deny that there is any substance in either allegation and I'm genuinely surprised that allegations of this nature have been made. I totally refute any impropriety."
