BS 10119:2026 is the British Standard code of practice for the provision of labour to the security and events sectors. Published by the British Standards Institution (BSI), it builds on the principles of COP 119 and sets out clear, consistent recommendations for organisations that supply security officers, stewards and event staff to other businesses.
Certification to BS 10119 is achieved through an independent audit by a certification body. It shows clients, principal contractors and event organisers that your business supplies labour ethically, lawfully and to a recognised national standard.
As a formal British Standard, BS 10119 gives labour providers a single, consistent benchmark across the industry. Our consultants guide you through gap analysis, documentation, implementation and audit preparation so you can achieve certification with confidence.
