We’ve all done it—worked into the late hours of the morning only to realise that we’re now alone, the staff car park is deserted, and no one knows where we are. Working late and on weekends is often a necessary evil, but it’s important to take precautions to avoid safety issues when you do have to burn the midnight oil.

What to do if a dog attacks you

Posted by Spartan 24 Hour Security on Tuesday, September 26, 2017 In : Personal Security 
Even though dog bites are relatively common, full-blown attacks are not. It is important to know what to do in the unlikely event an attack happens.

Thieves are far less likely to strike in well lit areas so try to make sure that you catch yo...

They run on Lithium batteries and can be carried either in handbags or held in waist straps.
