This is an overview and does not contain all the specifics contained in the Instruction.2. New contractor employees may be escorted onto the installation, only, to fill out paperwork. The employee is not to start work until all required paperwork has been submitted to the appropriate office.3. Prior to beginning employment on the installation, individuals must, at a minimum, have a completed Local Files Check (LFC). Individuals with LFCs, are required to be escorted by an authorized US citizen (reference Instruction 31-501 for US citizen clearance requirements) or a local national with a Security Check (SC) who has escort authority.4. Unescorted access requires a Host Agency Check (HAC). There are two levels of background investigations that meet the standards that meet this requirement. The level of background check required, will depend on whether the position is considered sensitive or non-sensitive. Only people with SC will be able to escort people onto the installation.a. The Counter Terrorist Check (CTC). The CTC is a national-level security and police background investigation conducted by the Defence Vetting Agency (DVA). This is the minimum check required for all contractor/subcontractor employees in non-sensitive positions requiring unescorted installation access. The CTC expires three years from the issue date. b. The Security Check (SC). The SC includes all of the elements of the CTC but is a more comprehensive investigation and includes such actions as a credit check, interviewing relatives, determining and evaluating the individual?s involvement in various organizations, verifying any past military experience, etc. This is the minimum check required for employees and contractor personnel in sensitive positions. Most SCs expire five years from the issue date.5. Individuals employed in sensitive positions may only be assigned to and or perform the non-sensitive portion of the position until the SC is positively completed or they must be provided with direct supervision by a U.S. citizen or an individual with a completed SC. 6. Investigation renewal. All employees renewing their background investigation will complete an MOD Form 1109, Security Questionnaire. On the front cover of the form, under General Details, the employee will mark the appropriate block indicating a security questionnaire has been completed before and will complete the form with current information. Renewal paperwork should be submitted 6 months prior to the current background expiration date to avoid a possible lapse in installation access. 7.
