The COP 119 is a comprehensive code of practice for security service providers, which aims to increase the quality and reliability of security guard services. This ensures that industry standards have been retained, constructive obligations are met, and security operations remain unrelated.
Achieving independent certification for the ‘Provision of Labour in the Security and Events Sector’ requires an audit against COP 119 standards. Certification signifies adherence to industry best practices and a commitment to ethical and regulatory compliance in supplying security personnel.
The latest revision of COP 119 has been developed to support labour providers in the security sector, ensuring that those supplying personnel to security firms adhere to best practices. By obtaining independent certification under this code, companies demonstrate their commitment to maintaining high operational standards and regulatory compliance in the security and events industry.
COP 119, or Code of Practice 119, is a standard set forth by the UK Security Industry Authority (SIA) that provides guidelines for the provision of security services, ensuring that security companies maintain a high level of professionalism and service quality.
Key components of COP 119 include standards for staff training, customer service, risk assessment, incident management, and operational procedures, all aimed at enhancing the quality of security services provided to clients.
COP 119 impacts the recruitment and training of security personnel by setting specific standards for qualifications, training programs, and continuous professional development, ensuring that security staff are well-equipped to handle their responsibilities effectively.
