OSH Security Practice Test

As a Security guard you are given a list of names and phone numbers by a client to call to see if you can get them to pay their outstanding bills owed to the client's company. As a security guard this a task you would be allowed to perform under the P.S.I.S.A.

1. True

2. False

The correct answer is: False

The correct assertion is that a security guard would not be permitted to perform the task of calling individuals to collect outstanding bills under the P.S.I.S.A (Private Security and Investigative Services Act). This act outlines the specific roles and responsibilities designated to security personnel, which typically include maintaining security, preventing unauthorized access, and monitoring premises for safety. Engaging in debt collection falls outside the scope of these responsibilities, as it involves financial transactions and communications that are more appropriate for trained collections professionals. Thus, performing such a task would be outside the lawful scope of a security guard's duties according to the regulations established by the act.
