Outwith Business Hours

Please consider the following advice when your business premises are unoccupied :

  • The last person to leave should ensure that all physical security measures such as lighting, alarms and CCTV are in place and operating effectively prior to leaving.
  • Keys stored on the premises should be kept within a sturdy lockable container preferably out of sight within a locked room.
  • Where contract staff are hired for work out with normal hours, they should be supervised at all times.
  • Where additional security is required consider employing security personnel in particular during evenings, weekends or during holidays.

  • Ensure the 'Alarm Keyholder List' is kept up to date and that staff are aware of their responsibilities.
