🔥🧯Fire Marshals / Waking Watch deployed in London
Case study: We received a late call on Friday last month to provide a fire marshal over the weekend and a few days the following week at a high-rise building where scaffolding is erected and cladding is being removed.
Within hours, we deployed a fire marshal on site, complete with a red fire hi-vest and horn for the waking watch to raise the alarm in case of fire.
The next shift, two thieves broke into the site and stole a pallet forklift while our staff was patrolling.
Our waking watch, also an SIA licensed door supervisor, chased the thieves and caught them down the street. One thief, wearing a red hi-vis vest, claimed he was a worker with permission to take the forklift, but our waking watch didn’t believe him and retrieved the forklift after a brief scuffle.
Our staff called the police, who arrived within minutes and conducted local investigations. Our control also notified the client’s representatives of the incident and arranged to re-secure the site.
We are pleased to report that no items were stolen and no further incidents occurred.
