The SIA are making some sweeping changes to Security qualifications in 2010.

The main change that affects not only Door Supervisors but the companies that train them is the new Breakaway and Dis engagement module due to be rolled out in June 10.

SPP Solutions is holding a FREE information day surrounding the implications of these changes and also intends giving information on how training companies who may not be able to deliver the new module currently, can ensure that by June they will be fully able to comply.

Call us for more details NOW.

A new radio campaign is being launched to encourage pub goers to report any Door Supervisor who is not displaying His / Her SIA license.

The campaign is encouraging people to report through the Crime Stoppers hotline 0845 555 111.

It is a requirement under the provisions of the Private Security Industry Act 2001 (PSIA) that all Door Supervisors engaged in licensable activity have their SIA License on show at all times.

There will be a SHAC demonstration on Friday 4th Dec 09 against Novartis in Horsham West Sussex at

11:30 Hrs.

Novartis have offices and Labs in West Sussex and Hampshire and have e links to Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS) Because of banning orders it is difficult to hold demonstrations at HLS itself so now companies like Novartis become targets.

Corporate Manslaughter sentencing guidelines have been finalised and publishes.

Initially the Sentencing Advisory Panel (SAP) issued recommendations that in cases of Corporate Manslaughter the penalties should be £500,000 and in most cases 2.5-10% of turnover based on gross turnover for the previous 3 year period..

This has been rejected by the Sentencing Guidelines Council (SGC) on the grounds that it would be un infoceable especially in the 3rd Sector.

The SGC has now said fines imposed should very rarely fall below the £500,000 threshold and could be in the £m.

As well as the £500,000 Corporate Manslaughter guide there will be a publicity order placed on companies making it compulsory to notify the press and other Media of sentence. Non compliance with this order will result in further Court action and fines.

This has been broadly welcomed by IOSH but it seems from their statements they were hoping for the former.

Guidelines have also been issued for Death caused by Health and Safety breaches which as the SGC say should rarely fall below £100,000 and in most cases should be hundreds of £000 and more.

For more information call us.
