This study discusses the role and legal status of the person in charge of managing sites with Group Civil Petition, as mentioned in the deployment permit application submitted by security companies when deploying security guards to such sites. Practically, the person in charge is often an executive or employee of the security company, which overlaps with the role of a security instructor who must be assigned to the site according to the Security Services Industry Act. This overlap can sometimes render the security instructor unnecessary. Recently, cases have emerged where security personnel with disqualifying factors are indirectly appointed as the person in charge, raising questions about the necessity of this role.
In this study, the legal status of the person in charge of managing sites with Group Civil Petition is viewed as a contractual position rather than a managerial position under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Their role is limited to that of the security company.
When the roles of the person in charge and the security instructor overlap, the role of the security instructor, which is clearly defined under the Security Services Industry Act, is prioritized. The role of the person in charge is restricted to issuing commands and directives necessary for security tasks. Even in such cases, the number of people in charge is limited to one, and disqualification criteria specified under the Security Services Industry Act are applied to ensure systematic management of sites with Group Civil Petition and contribute to the sound operation of the private security industry.
