What is PSA 31:2014?

PSA 31:2014 is the standard the PSA requires for new entrants into the manned guarding sector. This standard outlines the procedures and systems needed before a company can offer manned guarding services.

The PSA has issued the standard and the certification guidelines, which are free of charge from the PSA website.

PSA 31:2014 is required for all new entrants into the Manned Guarding sector, including companies that already hold a PSA licence in another sector.

PSA 31:2014 is also the standard for entry into the Door Supervision and Event Security sectors. An organisation can seek certification to cover one or more sectors.

Implementation

All PSA 31 audits are carried out by the PSA and once a company has been certified to PSA 31 they are then required to contact a certification body to register and book in their PSA 28 audit.

Once all other licensing requirements have been met (see PSA website), the PSA will issue a two-year licence following successful certification to PSA 31. This is conditional upon having an audit to PSA 28:2013 within six months.

The PSA 28 audit includes a visit to an active site, and Amtivo recommends carrying out a PSA 28 audit as soon as a site becomes available.

What Is PSA 28:2013?

PSA 28:2013 is the standard the PSA requires to retain and renew a Manned Guarding licence. It includes sections on:

• Organisation (including tax clearance and insurance)
• Staffing (including employee selection and screening)
• Training (including induction and refresher training and requirements for trainers)
• Operations (including risk assessments, command and control systems and site activities).

The PSA 28 standard and the auditing guidelines for PSA 28 are available free of charge from the Amtivo and PSA websites.

PSA 28 is the standard used for Door Supervision. The certificate issued by Amtivo will indicate if the audit was conducted for Manned Guarding only or includes Door Supervision. Door Supervision cannot be added to a PSA 28 certificate without first obtaining a PSA 31 certificate for Door Supervision and obtaining a PSA licence for Door Supervision)
