Weekend guards: is your First Aid still current?
This is an important reminder for event security officers and casual guards who mainly work on weekends or pick up shifts as part-time work.
Because event work is often irregular, renewals can easily get missed. One of the most common issues is First Aid and CPR not being kept current.
That can create problems for the guard, the security company and the client, especially when documentation is requested close to an event.
It is worth taking a few minutes to check:
* your security licence
* your First Aid / CPR status
* any site-specific compliance requirements
* any other required credentials for the work you accept
We have covered this topic in our latest blog because good compliance checks help avoid last-minute issues.
