Verification of the provider: a customer obligation

A recent case of conviction recalled the obligation of each client to verify his security provider. According to justice,any company that does not check whether its security provider meets its tax / social obligations (it is required by Article L. 8222-1 of the Labor Code), is convicted for the facts of recourse to the services of a person doing hidden work.

In this context, it is appropriate for the client to:

• Contract with a company authorized by the CNAPS;
• Check the validity of the directors’ approval;
• Request a copy of the CNAPS business card from the agents made available by the security company.

The customer can also ask:

• K-bis extract of less than 3 months;
• Certificate of Professional Liability Insurance;
• Vigilance certificate of the URSSAF of less than 6 months;
• Honor Declaration on the “Fight Against Illegal Labor”;
• Tax certificate of less than 6 months.

A small booster shot!
