FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Crowd control is the management of large groups of people to prevent disorder, injury, and damage to property. It ranges from planning and access management at events to the deployment of trained, equipped teams who contain unrest while using the minimum force necessary.
Labour disruption security protects a business's people, property, and operations during strikes, lockouts, or plant closures. It usually combines contingency planning, trained protection teams, evidence documentation, and liaison with the police, while respecting workers' legal right to protest peacefully.
Photo and video documentation creates an objective record of events during a strike or protest. It can support disciplinary and legal processes, insurance claims, and police investigations, and it encourages restraint on all sides because everyone knows their actions are being recorded.
Private security in South Africa is regulated by the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSIRA), established under the Private Security Industry Regulation Act 56 of 2001. Security businesses and individual security officers must register with PSIRA, which also enforces the industry's code of conduct and minimum training standards.
