Policy

In accordance with the Private Security Authority Legislation, RED OX GROUP LTD will only allow individuals that possess a valid SIA license to carry out licensable responsibilities.

Procedure

Licensing

In line with the SIA Legislation, RED OX GROUP LTD will only roster/work licensable staff who possess a valid and appropriate license, any person that does not possess such a license, whether they are a potential applicant or existing member of staff will not be permitted to work unless they are issued with a Licence Dispensation Notice under the Approved Contractors Scheme agreement.

It is a legal requirement of the SIA to have your license displayed at all times. Displaying your SIA Licence forms part of the RED OX GROUP LTD Licensing Procedures and therefore failure to do so constitutes an act of gross misconduct which may result in formal disciplinary action and summary dismissal.

It is the responsibility of the license holder to ensure that he/she has their license at the start of each shift. If for whatever reason you do not have your license you must inform Control at Head Office immediately, failure to follow this procedure is a breach of Company procedures and therefore subject to disciplinary action.

If for any reason you lose your license or it is stolen or misplaced you must inform the Police, SIA, and RED OX GROUP LTD Control immediately. Failure to report a missing/stolen license may result in your license being revoked by the SIA. Additional failure to report your missing license to RED OX GROUP LTD Control is a breach of Company procedures and therefore subject to disciplinary action.

Replacement Licence Cards- It is your responsibility to inform the Control Room if you receive a replacement card so the Company can update the system with your replacement license number.

It is the individual’s responsibility to inform RED OX GROUP LTD Control if their license has been revoked or their license application has been rejected or withdrawn. It is illegal for any person to continue working in a licensable position if their license or application falls into one of these categories. Failure to inform the Company about the above may result in formal disciplinary action, which may lead to summary dismissal.
