Perguntas frequentes

What should a key log record?

At a minimum: the key or card number, who took it, the date and time out, the date and time back, and signatures or initials. Many sites also record the reason and who authorized it.

What should I do if I lose a key?

Report it to your supervisor right away, even if you think you will find it. Write down when and where you last had it. The client then decides whether to re-key locks or deactivate cards.

Can a security guard rekey or pick locks?

Not as part of security guard work. Locksmith work is a separately licensed trade in provinces such as Alberta and British Columbia. Guards report lock problems so a qualified locksmith can fix them.

O certificado é acreditado ou reconhecido oficialmente?

Não. É um certificado de conclusão privado, apenas para o seu conhecimento. Não é reconhecido, acreditado nem aprovado por nenhum governo, entidade licenciadora, regulador ou instituição de ensino e não substitui qualquer licença, certificação ou formação exigida por lei.
