SIA Requirements for Physical Intervention for Door Supervisors
In June 2010 all new Door Supervisors that require licensing will have to undertake physical intervention training as part of their license training. The SIA scope for what is to be taught however is only a bare minimum standard – it does not compensate for nor is it a substitute for what organisations have to legally do – which is assess the foreseeable risk and provide suitable and sufficient training.
Employers are still required to comply with Health and Safety Legislation.
If someone is injured, seriously or otherwise, because inappropriate training was given – or worse still – no training was given because the company has a ‘no touch’ or ‘no restraint’ policy then the company could easily become liable for that injury.
Corporate Manslaughter & Corporate Homicide.
If someone dies as a result of ineffectively managing a foreseeable risk then the organisation is likely to have much bigger problems. Directors and Senior Managers can now be jailed for ‘negligence’. Very high fines can now be imposed starting at £500,000.00 and if found guilty an organisation also has to advertise the fact that it has been found guilty – that is business suicide.
