Meeting Your Fire Safety Obligations with Prime Secure’s Waking Watch Service

Implementing a waking watch arrangement is not simply a matter of placing an officer in a building. The regulatory requirements around patrol schedules, alarm protocols, resident communication, and reporting are specific and demanding, and getting them wrong can have serious legal and insurance consequences. Prime Secure’s waking watch specialists understand these requirements in detail and design their service delivery around full compliance at every level.

Prime Secure’s waking watch engagements are supported by a dedicated account management function that maintains close oversight of the service, conducts regular site visits, and ensures that any issues are identified and resolved quickly. Clients also receive comprehensive post-shift reporting that provides full visibility of all patrol activity and any observations or incidents from each shift.

Alongside their fire safety services, Prime Secure also provides the innovative V-Pod security system — a standalone, solar-powered surveillance platform that can be deployed to any location to provide high-definition monitoring without the need for mains power or fixed infrastructure. The V-Pod is used across a wide range of environments, from construction sites to car parks, and is particularly valued in locations where conventional surveillance systems are not viable.

From the regulatory complexity of waking watch to the technological sophistication of autonomous CCTV, Prime Secure’s specialist divisions combine professional expertise with innovative solutions to protect clients in even the most challenging environments.
