Security guards must not only carry their license at all times, but they also must:
Have their first aid at all times
Have training in baton and handcuff usage
Wear a security hat with logo on it
Wear ID that has either their name or their license number
The correct answer is: Wear ID that has either their name or their license number
Security guards in Ontario are legally required to both carry their license at all times and wear identification that has either their name or their license number. This requirement ensures that they can be properly identified at all times in case of any disputes or legal matters. It also provides a level of transparency and accountability; people can know who they are dealing with in case security guards need to take actions. This requirement is not about personal protection equipment like first aid kits or tools such as batons and handcuffs, nor is it about branding or uniforms represented through security hats with logos. In all circumstances, clear identification is a fundamental element of professional conduct in establishing trust and maintaining public safety.
