Frequently asked questions
- What is keyholding in security services?
Keyholding is a security service where we hold onto a set of keys to a building, property, or site and is responsible for responding to alarm activations and, when possible, securing the premises.
- Why is keyholding important?
Keyholding is important because it provides a quick response in case of an alarm activation or security breach, ensuring that the property remains secure and protected.
- What is the employer's legal obligation when the keyholder is an employee?
The employer has a legal duty of care for the safety of the keyholder if they are an employee. If any harm comes to the keyholder as a result of their keyholder duties, such as responding to a fire alarm or intruder alert, the employer could face fines or imprisonment under a charge of Corporate Manslaughter. To alleviate this responsibility, it is recommended to use a professional keyholding service that provides 24/7 availability and professional expertise, offering greater security for both employers and employees.due to
