Security Presence offers a professional service, eliminating concerns of nominating an employee where at times they may be unreachable, on holiday, exceeding the drink-drive limit or may even pose a security risk of stock shrinkage! Using a dedicated security company automatically complies with insurance requirements and police recommended procedure for keyholding. There are also serious legal ramifications of putting untrained personnel as lone workers at risk as specified in the Corporate Manslaughter Act 2007 and Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
