THIS SERVICE RUNS 24/7, 365 DAYS A YEAR
Our keyholding department operates out of our secure office in Bangor, County Down. Are you putting staff at risk by asking them to be key holders and responding to alarm activations out-of-hours? You should be extremely cautious about requesting employees to attend site following an out-of-hours alarm activation - the following questions highlight why:
● Do you have an effective Health & Safety lone worker system in use?
● Does your insurance cover staff who attend call outs alone?
● Who will support your employee if they are confronted or even attacked?
● Does your employee have the confidence and have they been trained in conflict management to go into a situation where they may have to deal with an attacker?
● How will you provide adequate response cover when your key holder is away on holiday, sickness or has been drinking alcohol?
● Can your key holders be on site and have addressed the alarm within 20 minutes of the call?
● Are your keyholders trained in crime scene management and preservation of evidence should an offence take place?
Keyholding and alarm response is not expensive. If you are a business within the Greater Belfast area or within Ards & North Down, you can benefit from this service for as little as £249 per annum.
