It’s late. Your alarm activates. No one’s on-site, and your staff shouldn’t be expected to attend. Sending an employee out at night creates real risk, especially when they arrive alone in an unknown situation.
This falls under lone working, which carries legal responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. Employers must protect staff from avoidable harm, including unsafe call-outs and unplanned alarm responses.
Delays can make things worse. Unclear situations lead to poor decisions. Without proper training or support, staff are exposed to risks that should be managed professionally.

Your team stays protected, while your site is managed properly across the UK. This service works alongside your existing guarding or patrol teams, ensuring alarms are handled without putting your staff at risk.
We do not offer a one-size-fits-all approach. Every industry we serve receives a bespoke security solution built around its specific risks, operations and compliance requirements.
