Access control
Checking visitors, contractors and deliveries in and out, and keeping a log.
What manned guards do on site
Every site is different, so we write the duties down before the first shift. Those duties become the guard’s post orders, so they know exactly what is expected.
Patrols
Regular walks round buildings, yards and car parks, checking doors, gates and anything out of place.
Visible deterrent
A uniformed officer on site puts off opportunists before anything happens.
Incident response
Dealing with problems calmly, calling the emergency services when needed and keeping you informed.
Reports and handovers
A written log for each shift and a clear handover to the next officer.
