These healthcare services operate in both the private sector and the NHS.
The out-of-hours cover provided by the Namib team ensures that staff members are not called out to deal with security issues when the premises are not open to public.
The main services used within the healthcare sector covered by Namib Security are Alarm Response & Keyholding, Mobile Patrols with Lock & Unlock occasionally too.
Security for healthcare assets
Healthcare premises are at risk from vandals and from thieves who believe they may be able to get access to drugs or equipment including computers. The premises are known to be empty out-of-hours which makes them ready targets. The physical protections in place generally include high-security doors and windows, often with shutters/roller doors. CCTV is less common for such premises because of the risk of invasion of privacy issues which it raises during operating hours. The vast majority of surgeries and pharmacies have comprehensive alarm systems.
Namib Security provide the vital human element of security which supplements the modern physical measures in place. The SIA licenced patrol officers who respond to alarm activations have received full training to deal with all scenarios.
