BS 7984 Keyholding in Staffordshire

Staffordshire combines the city of Stoke-on-Trent with market towns such as Stafford, Lichfield, Tamworth, Cannock and Burton upon Trent. The M6 runs through the county, and its distribution parks and industrial estates often sit empty overnight. Locally we support buyers and insurers who want keyholding carried out to a recognised British Standard, at warehouses along the M6 corridor, industrial units in Stoke-on-Trent and Cannock and retail sites in the market towns.

BS 7984 is the British Standard code of practice for keyholding and response services. It covers how keys are coded, stored and logged, how officers respond to alarms and how incidents are recorded. Our keyholding in Staffordshire follows those principles: coded keys, secure off-site storage, a full audit trail and SIA-licensed officers who report after every attendance.
