No organisation can afford to neglect security these days. The business crime rates in the UK are shocking and there are also regular incidents of criminal damage and intrusion on commercial property. Not to mention the ever-present threats of industrial espionage, malicious interference or even terrorism.
By outsourcing management of building security to OMS, clients can tick off the three pillars of property protection:
- Prevention
- Detection
- Speedy response.
All of which reduces the risk of thefts or damage and makes it more likely property stolen can be recovered and criminals can be apprehended by the police.
Let’s look at that in more detail and how facilities management company OMS manages its clients’ properties, contents, compliance and business operations.
Tailored security contracts
The starting point of matching a clients’ security needs to a managed service is often recruiting personnel or offering the support of a specialist security contractor from our carefully-vetted and monitored network of providers.
Either way, OMS invests heavily in selecting the right people for the job, including doing comprehensive background checks. Candidates are then provided with a robust and comprehensive training programme covering a wide range of security and emergency procedures. For instance, your security team have skills and knowledge in areas such as:
- Crowd management
- First aid
- Fire prevention
- Customer service
- Incident management.
This is not a complete list and if you have special requirements from outsourced security services, don’t hesitate to discuss this with OMS.
Also, please note that the highly trained and dedicated security personnel OMS provide can be easily integrated into any existing security systems and services you have. Making outsourcing to us a brilliant solution to supplement your existing security, or to provide additional protection at peak times or periods of increased risk.
In fact, one of the main advantages of using OMS to outsource security management is that that you get responsive and adaptable help in protecting your assets. For example, you may need additional security support at different times of the year, or when high-end items or money are being transported in and out of your premises.
Or, if your commercial property hosts events, or sometimes welcomes VIP guests, you may need adjustable levels of security, managed adroitly by your dedicated OMS facilities management expert.
Of course, OMS is also more than capable of rising to the challenge of managing the security needs of sites particularly vulnerable to intruders, including finding solutions that combine both the latest technology and security companies and personnel who can protect sites of great interest to criminals and trespassers.
Alarm service
Outsourcing management of your alarm response security can ensure you always have a fast, efficient and effective call-out team on standby.
This would be round the clock support, throughout the year, to provide you with peace of mind and free you from call-outs from your building alarm system.
OMS connects clients to alarm monitoring companies, but also providers who can maintain your security alarm equipment. This keeps your building compliant, ensuring your alarm system is always fully functional and avoiding false triggers and signals.
Keep in mind that promoting the provision of alarm response services can act as a deterrent against theft, intrusion and vandalism.
Construction site security
Maintaining high levels of construction security becomes easier when OMS is tasked with managing this aspect of your site. This can avoid the loss of expensive equipment and materials. However, our support can also help your construction site remain intrusion-free, avoiding serious H&S risks and the threat of legal action.
Fire alarm service
OMS provides commercial real estate clients with fire alarm response services according to the inherent risks and usages of the property.
This ensures you have a fire alarm monitoring company that regularly inspects and checks equipment, to keep you compliant and to manage your fire risks.
You are also assured of rapid response fire alarm monitoring, as we are deeply committed to protecting our clients’ building, occupants, assets and business continuity
Home security services
Our track record for providing the best-outsourced security services extends to helping clients who own large residential properties, housing developments or multi-occupancy residential buildings.
This includes providing home security armed response when risk to life is an issue, as well as home security companies who can suggest and implement vital protection improvements.
Keyholding service
Keyholding and alarm response often go together, when it comes to keeping your building safe and responding quickly to potential intruders.
OMS offers various types of key management solutions, depending on the needs of the client. For example, you may require our trained security personnel to only access your building when an alarm goes off after office hours.
While other buildings benefit from keyholding and alarm response services that are 24/7 and year-round.
Security guard services
If you have been searching for reliable security guard companies for your premises, it is something OMS is able to help with. Not only will we connect you to an appropriate security guard agency, but we will also manage the service they provide to ensure your property benefits from the specific protection it requires.
Or, we can help you recruit an in-house security guard.
This means you no longer need to look for ‘security guard services near me’ as we have done all the legwork and can put you in touch with your ideal provider.
Mobile patrols
If you need security services to patrol the grounds of your property, or to be mobile across event sites, for example, this is also a great opportunity to contract management to OMS.
This is all part of our highly responsive and adaptable facilities management service and outsourced security provision.
