The right response in an emergency, such as using fire alarm call points, raising an alert, or evacuating the warehouse premises.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nVigilant, trained staff can enhance the way your warehouse security operates and ensure there is a minimal likelihood of security challenges being escalated by human error.<\/p>\n
8. Integrate 24\/7 Monitoring for Continual Supervision<\/h3>\n
Clearway\u2019s Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) is on standby 24\/7, 365 days a year, monitoring alarms, alerts, and notifications from every device, from panic alarms and fire systems to CCTV security networks.<\/p>\n
Our role is to log and investigate every potential security threat, verifying the location, nature, and severity of the issue and activating your protocols accordingly\u2014whether evacuating the warehouse, contacting the police or emergency services, or liaising with on-the-ground responders.<\/p>\n![\"remote](\"https:\/\/www.clearway.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/worker-at-alarm-monitoring-company-Clearway.webp\")

Regular recaps, such as stressing the importance of never sharing an access code, only using a key fob for personal use, and reminding staff that entry and exit events are logged, can avoid complacency about sharing, lending or leaving keys unsupervised.<\/p>\n![\"what](\"https:\/\/www.clearway.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/keyholding-services-scaled.jpg\")

10. Build Fire Safety Risk Assessments Into Warehouse Security<\/h3>\n
Finally, it is always important to incorporate fire safety into your warehouse security strategy.<\/p>\n
This is in recognition that criminal activity such as arson and fly-tipping can elevate safety risks and that the speed and accuracy with which a fire risk is recorded, verified, and eliminated may be just as crucial to warehouse operations as those used to control security threats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Warehouse managers and owners juggle a number of security threats. Premises on industrial sites with high-value inventory and equipment are often exposed to targeted intrusions, break-ins, vandalism, and arson.
