PSSA Council

Elects New Vice

Chairs

At the PSSA Council Meeting, held

in February at Arup’s Offices in

London, the Chairman

proposed that two Vice-Chair

positions be created as the

association grows in strength and

notoriety.

The successful candidates were Roger Knight and

John Wood; Roger’s day job is with ATG Access

and he will be taking the lead on Technical issues

and John (from Tata Steel Projects) will be taking

the lead from a Marketing perspective. John is

featured in the 60-second interview this month

with Roger to follow soon (whether he likes it or

not!)

This move to enhance the team is a measure of

the growing success of the PSSA; with the

Verification Scheme now developed, the number

of companies signing up is significantly

increasing. There is also significantly more

interest in the work the PSSA is doing to ‘raise

standards within the perimeter security industry’

both from consultants, other trade bodies and

governmental organisations both in the UK and

abroad.

Skills for Security

Skills for Security will be submitting a second

government funding bid for the development /

review of National Occupational Standards (NOS)

across the following sectors:

• Review of Human Identity & Biometrics NOS

• Development of Device Monitoring Operations NOS *NEW*

• Development of Asset & Property Marking NOS *NEW*

• Development of Lone Worker Operations NOS *NEW*

Your Involvement

We will find out if we have been successful with our second bid

by

May 2014,

but at this initial bid submission stage we would

urgently like to;

1. Gather Industry support to evidence demand for the work

above

2. Invite representatives to register interest to sit on the

Advisory Working Groups directly involved in developing/

reviewing the NOS

Anyone wishing to state their support or take part should
