Security Guards Uniform Policy

At SAS Security we have two basic types of uniform, namely the military look and the corporate look.

For your particular application and client profile, we would recommend the corporate look as being most suitable.

When one makes use of the corporate look, this should be the only uniform being worn by Security Officers permanently deployed.

The choice of uniform would often depend on the work environment and the image to be portrayed.

All Security Officers receive their uniform free of charge. They also receive a monthly cleaning allowance for their uniforms.

Corporate Uniform

This uniform may be worn mainly in commercial environments as well as some retail environments.

Step-out Uniform

This uniform may be worn mainly in industrial environments as well as some retail environments.

Security Officers Board

The security officer’s board is the governing body of the security industry. At SAS Security we pay particular attention to complying with these legal requirements in the running our company.

In all the years that we have been in existence, we have never received a fine or penalty for non-compliance with the stipulations as laid down by the Board.

All security officers in our employ are required by law to carry their S.O.B. registration cards on their person.

In addition to this, there are certain sites which have their own unique identification cards, which the security officers carry on their person.

Everyone in the employ of the company is registered with the S.O.B., from executive management to administration and clerical staff.
