Every company will have at least one keyholder for their business premises. A keyholders job is to respond to out of hour alarm activations. Generally, the keyholder will receive alerts via phone so will have to ensure that they are reliable and able to respond during antisocial hours.
They will have to attend the business premises to check why the alarm was triggered, this could have been for many reasons including a potential break in.
Some companies choose to give this responsibility to an in-house employee but often don’t consider the potential risk this poses to them. In the event of an intruder, your employee could be put in a dangerous situation which they may not know how to deal with safely.
If your business is a high-risk business that is appealing to potential thieves such as a construction site that has expensive materials and equipment then it is wise to outsource this responsibility to trained professionals to ensure the safety of your staff.
