Why is keyholding so important?

Many security companies, much like Comprehensive Fire and Security Solutions, offer a keyholding service, but why is this important?

Firstly, some staff members may not want the responsibility of having a set of business keys in their home out of work hours, this could cause them unnecessary stress and concern. If there were an incident during the night at the business premises, they may not be able to attend and if their home were to be burgled along with the business keys, this could cause additional issues, not only for them but also for your own business interests.

Staff safety is imperative and leaving them open to the possibility of having to attend an incident can be another cause of concern for them and their families. Having a designated keyholder from a security firm eliminates the need for anyone else to attend, as any incident can be dealt with swiftly by the guard on duty. Also, most call outs turn out to be a false alarm, if this occurs during the night, it can affect the productivity of your staff the following day. 

The training that security officers undertake, gives them the skills to handle any eventuality upon arrival at premises in which they are offering a keyholder service. This alleviates the need for you to train your staff and take them away from their other duties within their roles, making it cost effective and reduces risks to your employees.
