Authorisation of Security Officers (ASOs) to Regulate Traffic for Road Closure
Security agencies must apply for LTA authorisation on behalf of their authorised security officers, or ASOs, to perform traffic regulation duties for road works. These officers must meet these minimum requirements:
- Possess the relevant qualification to regulate traffic (i.e. successfully completed the Conduct Crowd and Traffic Control training course);
- Be licensed and trained by the Police Regulatory Department under the Private Security Industry Act; and
- Be employed by a security agency licensed by the Police Regulatory Department under the Private Security Industry Act.
With the above pre-requisites fulfilled and the requisite gear and safety attire, the security officer may regulate traffic for these road configurations in place of Certis APOs or Aetos APOs.
