Why does your business need Security Personnel?

Effective Security Procedures can play a very important part in the success of your business. Whether patrolling on a building or retail site, preventing theft, vandalism or protecting the safety of others, professional Security Procedures could be integral to the continued success of your business.

How do you know if you are employing the services of a professional security company?

The security industry is like any other industry - you pay for what you get. Before employing the services of any security company, there are checks you can make to ensure that the reputation and integrity of the company you choose is assured. Firstly, have the security company any recognised accreditations? ISO9001, for instance, is a Quality Management System. A company accredited with this has invested both time and money to ensure that the service they supply to their clients is of a high standard. Secondly, are the company Approved Contractors of The SIA? The SIA - the industry regulating body - have an Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS) in place. This award again highlights that a security company have taken the time to invest in their business, and their employees, therefore are aiming to be around for a long time. A third consideration could be to check that the security company you are employing have current, and sufficient, liability insurance. In the age of litigation, this could be a deciding factor in your continued business success, as you may be liable for any claims if your security company cannot provide correct insurances. You also need to be aware that it is law that a person working as a security operative is suitably licensed by The SIA. There are severe penalties for non licensed personnel working, including jail terms and heavy fines.

How do you know if a security company is ACS Registered?

By going onto The SIA website and following the links for the list of Approved Contractors. Companies listed on here have passed very strict criteria in their management systems, the integrity of their directors, and have committed to staff development. All attributes that will ensure that you are employing a professional company focused on the security of your business.

What are the benefits to employing an agency?

A professional security company will offer more of a service than just providing personnel. Establishing local links with the authorities and attending meetings for instance, can assist the smooth development of your business. Regular management visits, whilst the security are in place, helps you to establish a confident rapport with the company, easing communications and dealing with things effectively before they become major issues.
