Scope:
1.1 General
This standard sets out minimum requirements to be used when selecting uniformed security officers and supervisors to protect people, property and information. It provides a “Security Officers Basic (Pre-assignment) Training Program” (see Annex A), a “Security Officer Supervisors (Pre-assignment) Training Program” (see Annex B) and “Performance Guidelines for Suppliers of Training for Security Officers and Supervisors” (see Annex C).
1.2 Health
Notwithstanding the content of the health criteria in this standard, users may need to waive certain criteria where a particular duty requirement will permit. Users may also need to consider provincial and federal legislation concerning
duty to accommodate where a particular duty requirement may exist.
1.3 Security clearances
This standard does not specify requirements for security clearances to be undertaken or obtained. However, where the duties of security officers and supervisors may provide access to sensitive data, high-value materiel or critical-infrastructure property, users may wish to require specific security clearances.
1.4 Bonding
This standard does not specify bonding requirements. Bonding is usually a prerequisite to licensing of a licensed security company by appropriate jurisdictions but may not be universally required.
1.5 Civil liability
The need for security officers and supervisors to have civil liability coverage should be considered.
1.6 Training programs
The attention of users is drawn to the preambles to the training programs outlined in Annexes A and B.
1.7 First aid and CPR training
Training and certification in first aid and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is a requirement of this standard.
1.8 This standard is intended for conformity assessment.
