Key holding and alarm response services Glasgow Scotland uk

Key Holding and Alarm Response

Your property is most vulnerable when it is unoccupied. Evenings, holiday periods and weekends present a challenge to your security. The problem may be as simple as a false alarm, but that alarm could also signal a serious security breach, putting your colleagues, property and crucial documentation at risk. Our key holding and alarm response team can help.

Key holder services

Another reason for companies to employ a trained and experienced keyholding service is the fact that more and more insurance companies are advocating the use of professional keyholder services to remove risks from personnel and as a stop-loss in emergencies.

Traditionally, some organisations have delegated the task of key holding to one of their colleagues, but this raises serious issues.

• Is reasonable to ask employees to respond to alarm activations late at night or at the weekend?
• Is acting as a key holder part of their contract?
• Have they been trained to a level which will allow them to safely and efficiently deal with the alarm problem?
• Have you shown, as an employer, that everything has been done to protect your employee in these circumstances?
