Najczęściej zadawane pytania
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.
