With face masks becoming a mandatory requirement for our everyday lives, whether it be visiting the shops, getting on public transportation or even popping into your local takeaway, we\u2019ve decided to take a look at how face masks have impacted the security industry as a whole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ask any security professional or retail worker what their bane of their life is and its ID\u2019ing customers. Even long before masks were introduced, those who are required to ID customers hate it. The classic responses of \u2018eeeeh can I tell my husband that\u2019, \u2018What are you ID\u2019ing me for, im 35\u2019 \u2018this is so offensive\u2019 and so on is really annoying and the unreasonable conflict for asking someone to see their identification is always unnecessary. We are just doing our jobs! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But now, with masks being a requirement due to Covid 19, security professionals need to ID people now more than ever. With policies such as \u2018Challenge 25\u2019, there’s no way door supervisors or security guards can get an accurate interpretation of someone just from their eyes and forehead? Also with numerous videos going viral of teenagers dressing up as the elderly with a face mask on, security professionals need to be more on the ball now than never. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
