What is COP 119?
COP 119 is a code of practice developed for security agents and aims to improve the effectiveness of security guarding service provisions. It enables companies providing labour to security companies to demonstrate best practice by holding independent certification in the scope of ‘provision of labour in the security and events sector’, having been audited against the requirements of COP 119.
This helps ensure that security standards are not compromised but instead maintained effectively whilst necessary contractual requirements are met.
The scope of COP 119 covers all labour provision for companies operating in the regulated security and events sector.
