Routines that protect people and premises

A reliable lock-up routine is one of the simplest and most effective security measures a business can have. Our officers secure doors, gates, windows and equipment at close of business — and confirm it with a verified report your team can rely on.

Welfare checks extend that protection to people. Officers check on staff working after hours, vulnerable individuals and high-risk areas, confirming safety and wellbeing on a scheduled basis.

Every visit is GPS-verified and logged automatically through the SAF Group platform, so you have a complete, audit-ready record of every opening, closing and welfare check.
