This register must be kept for **7 years**.\n- Security firms must keep similar registers for all crowd controllers and security staff they supply.\n\n**Bouncers' ID badges:**\nCrowd controllers must wear a specific chest badge showing a unique number (at least 3cm tall) and the word 'SECURITY' — black on white. No two bouncers at the same venue can wear the same number.\n\n**The chequerboard hat rule:**\nSecurity workers cannot wear or display a chequerboard-patterned hat while on duty (this avoids confusion with police uniforms).\n\n**Interstate monitoring services:**\nSecurity firms based in another state that remotely monitor Queensland properties (e.g., alarm monitoring centres) are *exempt* from needing a Queensland licence, as long as they hold a valid licence in their home state and don't do anything else in Queensland.\n\n**Industry associations:**\nSecurity industry associations that want government approval must be incorporated, financially viable, hold regular elections, provide genuine services to members, maintain a code of conduct, and undergo regular compliance audits of their members conducted by qualified accountants."},"issue_detection":{"absurdities":[{"type":"circular_definition","section":"sec.6(ssec.4)","severity":"medium","reasoning":"The definition states a 'recent certified photograph' means a 'recent passport-size photograph certified...'.
