CONTRACT STANDARD

24/7 guarding with disciplined shift handovers

Continuous cover only works if the handover works. Shifts overlap, the outgoing officer briefs the incoming officer, and the handover is logged — so nothing is lost between shifts and no post sits unmanned.

How cover is structured

Shift patterns are built around your operating hours and the periods where the site is most exposed.

  • Overlapping handovers with a logged verbal and written brief
  • Planned relief cover for leave, illness and absence
  • Night-shift check-ins logged against a control-room schedule
  • Weekend, public-holiday and shutdown cover built into the plan

Preventing the unmanned gap

A missed check-in triggers a call-out before the post sits empty. The failure is detected by the control room, not discovered by you the next morning.

Shutdowns and peak periods

Festive-season shutdowns, stock-take periods and plant maintenance windows are the highest-risk dates on most commercial calendars. Those are planned as separate deployments, agreed in advance.

Common questions

Can we run guarding only at night?
Yes. Many commercial sites run night and weekend cover only, with access control during trading hours handled internally.
What happens if an officer does not arrive?
Relief cover is dispatched and the incident is logged as an attendance exception in your monthly report.
