Static Security

1. VISIBLE DETERRENT
The visual deterrence that static security provides is its main benefit. By adding a static guard to your physical security measures, you can deter burglars and other criminals, especially if they know how to get around alarms and cameras

2. COST SAVINGS
Static guarding is a cost-effective security boost that reduces the likelihood of businesses losing a small fortune in the aftermath of a major crime. They also help prevent the slow drain to a business’s bottom line when petty theft by staff and customers can be the cause of smaller but more constant losses.

While acting as a deterrent in this way they help you to avoid costly repairs, limit asset losses, boost your business brand and maintain a good reputation within the community.

3. ACCESS CONTROL
One of the main benefits of static guarding is that it can provide added security at all times. A static guard will monitor and check for unauthorised access in a busy environment where many people are coming and going. By checking authorisation and logging entry and exit, the guard becomes the single point of contact, knowing who is in your building and why they are there at all times.

4. CRIME PREVENTION
Well-trained and experienced static guards know what to look out for when it comes to suspicious behaviour. Over time, they develop what might be considered a sixth sense. In reality, they become good at reading body language and facial expressions. In high-risk publicly accessible locations where theft or damage is likely, it means you have someone on site who could spot suspicious activity and prevent it from developing into an actual crime.

5. CUSTOMER SERVICE AND REASSURANCE
Static security guards provide customers with peace of mind when they visit your premises by offering them the reassurance of an additional layer of protection from crime and anti-social behaviour. Staff will also consider them a reassuring presence knowing that they are keeping the workplace safe at all times.

Static security guards are also an effective customer service asset. As the first point of contact for visitors and staff, they provide a reassuring welcome plus advice and guidance for people seeking directions or information.

6. RESPONDING TO EMERGENCIES
Security guards receive training in responding to all sorts of emergencies. They will be able to assist in emergency situations such as rapid response in case of fire alarm, liaising with the statutory authorities and using their training in first aid and CPR whenever accidents or medical emergencies crop up on-site.

A professional security guard will assume a central role in the event of an emergency. This means that if there is ever an incident, accident or medical emergency, they will be able to respond immediately and ensure that everything is under control before calling for backup if necessary.

7. REDUCING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Alongside security inspections of windows, doors and emergency exits, your security guard will save on costs and reduce your environmental impact simply by making sure that doors and windows are closed and lights turned off in empty rooms and offices; meaning that your energy costs for heating and cooling are not being vented straight outside.
