SIA Licence Training UK
Security (SIA Licence legislation) like many sectors, keeps marketing people like myself busy communicating with stakeholders about the latest issues and changes that affect them, particularity the SIA training licence & jobs!
Just as I think things are on even keel, something new appears on the horizon that needs communicating, particularily in the SIA Licence field! And then it changes, so I have to communicate it all again.
Confusing enough for myself, but much more of an issue for people like yourselves involved in facilities management. For most of you, security is just one of many areas you are involved with and keeping abreast with the pertinent issues that impact upon your organisation is not easy.
There are a couple of current issues that you need to be aware of, that impact SIA Licence legislation. Firstly, new European Standards have recently been introduced for intruder alarm installation and secondly, there is the impact of the Private Security Industry Act 2001 on the manned security sector.
Euro Standards for Intruder and Hold-up Alarms Are Here
Security is no exception to Europeanisation of Standards being negotiated into a pan-European role, EU members anyway, where ultimately everything will be the same in member states. But not quite yet.
