The Private Security Industry Act 2001 (Exemption) (Aviation Security) Regulations 2006
These Regulations exempt certain persons from the licensing requirement in section 3 of the Private Security Industry Act 2001 (“the 2001 Act”) on the basis that suitable alternative arrangements are in place which make it unnecessary for those persons to be so licensed. Regulation 4 specifies the circumstances in which a person will be exempt. The circumstances are those where an operative, supervisor or manager undertakes, supervises or manages certain activities relating to aviation security, which are undertaken by virtue of a Direction made under section 14 of the Aviation Security Act 1982, having been recruited in accordance with the Aviation Security (Aircraft Operators, Aerodrome Managers, Listed Security Approved Air Cargo Agents and Catering Undertakings) (selection of aviation security staff) Direction 2002 and, in the case of operators and supervisors, trained in accordance with the Aviation Security (Aircraft Operators, Aerodrome Managers) (training of aviation security staff) Direction 1993.
