Cosa sapere prima del test

Canada’s federal, Alberta and BC privacy commissioners say that examining a driver’s licence is the least intrusive step, and that photocopying or scanning it generally goes too far.
The commissioners generally consider recording driver’s licence numbers excessive, unless a law requires the number to be recorded.
People can ask why a business wants to see their ID and whether the information will be recorded.
In Alberta, a guard’s licence card is the only formal identification for a licensee. A badge is not a legal document.
Ontario’s guard training syllabus lists escorting people, inspecting baggage and vehicles, and contacting the right staff when security is breached as access control topics.

Domande frequenti

Can a security guard scan or photocopy a visitor’s driver’s licence?

Usually that goes too far. Privacy commissioners say looking at the licence and handing it back is normally enough, unless a law requires more.

What is the difference between tailgating and piggybacking?

Tailgating is when someone follows an authorized person through a door without them knowing. Piggybacking is when the authorized person knowingly holds the door or lets them in.

Can I force someone to open their bag at the entrance?

No. A bag check needs the person’s consent. If bag checks are a posted condition of entry and the person refuses, you can refuse entry under your site’s policy, but you cannot search them by force.

What should I do if an access card is lost?

Report it right away so the card can be turned off in the system before anyone else uses it.

Non è riconosciuto, accreditato né approvato da alcun governo, ente di rilascio delle licenze, autorità di regolamentazione o istituto di istruzione e non sostituisce alcuna licenza, certificazione o formazione richiesta dalla legge.
