COP 119 for Labour Provision
COP 119 for Labour Provision
COP 119 is a code of practice that has been meticulously crafted for security agents, with the primary aim of improving the efficiency of security guarding services. This enables Labour-providing enterprises associated with security firms to display superior operational methods through autonomous certification within the domain of ‘provision of Labour in the security and events sector’. COP 119 mandates are followed by audits to confer these certifications, ensuring authenticity and originality.
