For licensable security work, checking an SIA licence should be basic housekeeping.
๐ชช Don't simply assume the company has checked it.
Look at the licence.
Check the photograph.
Check the expiry date.
Check that the licence covers the work they're actually carrying out.
Professional suppliers should already have systems for checking their officers, but clients shouldn't feel uncomfortable asking either.
You're allowing somebody responsibility for your premises, customers, employees or property.
Asking whether they're properly licensed isn't insulting.
It's sensible.
A uniform doesn't automatically make somebody a security professional.
