COP 119: Code of Practice for Labour Provision

Labour Provision in the Security and Events Sector

COP 119 is a recognized code of practice designed for security service providers. It helps enhance the quality and reliability of security guarding services. Companies supplying labour to security firms can demonstrate best practices by obtaining independent certification in the provision of labour for the security and events sector. This certification is awarded after an audit confirming compliance with COP 119 standards.

By following COP 119, security standards remain strong while meeting contractual and regulatory requirements.

Scope of COP 119
COP 119 applies to all labour provision in businesses operating within the regulated security and events sector.

Key Requirements Under COP 119

The code addresses several critical aspects of labour provision, including:

  • Proper verification and monitoring of Security Industry Authority (SIA) licences for security officers
  • Compliance with BS 7858 security screening standards
  • Adherence to working time regulations
  • Ensuring payment of at least the minimum wage
  • Conducting right-to-work checks
  • Clarifying employment status

Benefits of COP 119 Certification

By complying with COP 119, your company can demonstrate a strong commitment to meeting legal and regulatory obligations. Additionally, it supports social, environmental, and governance (ESG) principles in service delivery.

Many contractors require COP 119 compliance when hiring additional labour. Adopting this standard ensures the quality, safety, and credibility of both your business and the contractors who rely on your services.
