02 What the scope can include
Defined work.
No hidden assumptions.
- Controlled storage and issue of site keys
- 24-hour alarm activation attendance
- Internal and external cause checks where safe
- Escalation, contractor coordination and call-out reports

06 Questions answered
Before you scope key holding & alarm response.
These are general operational answers. The assessment establishes the exact legal, licensing, safety and delivery requirements.
01Where are the keys stored?+
Keys should be held in a controlled, audited system and identified by a secure reference rather than an obvious site address. The exact handling process is confirmed during onboarding.
02Will an officer enter the building after an alarm?+
Only where the risk assessment, available information and assignment instructions make entry appropriate. The responder will not take unnecessary risks and may wait for police, fire or specialist support.
03Can staff still be called?+
Yes. The escalation list defines who is contacted, in what order and for which types of incident. The goal is to involve staff only when their authority or knowledge is genuinely needed.
