SGC Security Services has now gained its accreditation in the Provision of Labour in the Security and Events Sector.
COP 119 is a code of practice developed for security agents and aims to improve the effectiveness of security guarding service provisions. It enables companies providing labour to security companies to demonstrate best practice by holding independent certification in the scope of ‘provision of labour in the security and events sector’, having been audited against the requirements of COP 119.
This helps ensure that security standards are not compromised but instead maintained effectively whilst necessary contractual requirements are met.
The scope of COP 119 covers all labour provision for companies operating in the regulated security and events sector.
COP 119 includes solutions for:
- An absence of adequate checks and monitoring of deployed security officer SIA licences
- Security screening to BS 7858
- Adherence to working time regulations
- Paying of minimum wage
- Right to work checks
- Employment Status
What are the benefits of COP 119?
Gaining approval of this code of practice will enable you to demonstrate your commitment to meeting statuary and legal requirements and to the social, environmental and governance criteria within which the provision of service is delivered.
Contractors use COP 119 as a requirement when acquiring additional labour and using the COP 119 code ensures the quality, safety and reputation of their business while using your services.
