Commercial key holding and alarm response

Are you putting your staff at risk by asking them to be key holders and responding to alarm activations out-of-hours?

You should be very cautious about requesting your employees to attend your site following an out-of-hours alarm activation - the following questions highlight why:

Do you have an effective health and safety lone worker system in use?
Does your insurance cover staff who attend your site alone?
Who will support your employee if they are confronted or even attacked by an offender?
Does your employee have the confidence and received satisfactory conflict management training to go into a situation where they may have to deal with an offender?
How will you provide adequate response cover when your key holder is away, sick 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 key holders trained in crime scene management, including the preservation of evidence?
