Security Guard uniform regulation

Security Guard uniform regulation

With the exception of bodyguards and loss prevention personnel, all Security Guards must wear a uniform that complies with the Uniforms Regulation. If a guard works for a licensed security agency, his or her employer is responsible for ensuring that the uniform meets all the requirements. Please note, Security Guards must also be familiar with the regulation, as it is their responsibility to wear the proper uniform on a daily basis. Some key points to look out for:

• The term SECURITY or SECURITY GUARD must be displayed on the uniform in specific places and specific dimensions.
• The uniform must include an identification tag, which shows the licensee’s name, or licence number or both.
• A Security Guard uniform should not bear any traits that resemble a police uniform, such as rank chevrons, a police-style forage cap, or stripes down the side of the trousers.
