What responsibility do licensed security businesses have regarding their workers?

Ensuring that workers only use approved restraining devices is a critical responsibility for licensed security businesses. This obligation stems from the need to maintain safety and compliance with legal standards. By restricting the use of restraining devices to those that have received proper approval, security businesses mitigate the risk of injury to both employees and individuals being restrained. Utilizing unapproved devices could lead to excessive force situations, legal liabilities, and could jeopardize the integrity and reputation of the security agency.

In contrast, while monitoring worker movements, providing ongoing training, and documenting encounters are important components of a security business, they are not universally mandated responsibilities in the same way that the use of approved restraining devices is. Monitoring movements can be seen as an operational necessity, but it does not directly address the safety and compliance issues. Ongoing training is essential for skill enhancement and awareness, yet the objective of legal compliance and safety takes precedence in the use of restraining devices. Documenting encounters is important for accountability but does not directly relate to the operational safety concerns tied to the usage of such equipment. Thus, ensuring the use of approved restraining devices stands out as a clear and specific responsibility in the context of licensed security operations.
