SIA licensing, night work and many sites

badge

Keeping SIA licensing requirements under control

The Private Security Industry Act 2001 and SIA regulation require a valid licence for most roles — tedious to check by hand across many staff and sites.

Identifying night workers & health assessments

Anyone who regularly works at least 3 hours between 11pm and 6am counts as a "night worker" under the Working Time Regulations and is entitled to a free health assessment — easy to miss with rotating patrols.

Many sites, one plan

Every site has its own posts, hours and requirements — keeping track of it all by hand is barely feasible.

Sites & posts with no gaps

Every post across every site — Klacks shows every open slot immediately and fills it automatically on request.

SIA licence matched automatically, expiry in view

Klacks only assigns shifts to staff with the matching SIA licence qualification — and warns before a licence on file expires. On request, Klacks can fully block assignment once a required licence has expired — only staff with a valid licence can be scheduled.

bedtime

Night shifts counted automatically

Klacks automatically counts night shifts per employee and warns as soon as the configured threshold for regular night work under the Working Time Regulations is reached — the basis for triggering the statutory health assessment in good time.

Patrols optimised

For mobile patrol services, Klacks plans routes so journeys stay short and intervals are met.

Route Planning

The best route — automatically

From your service addresses, Klacks works out the most sensible order and shows the finished route on the map. All you choose is the mode of transport.

  • 1
    Capture addresses Every service location has an address on file — Klacks knows the way.
  • 2
    Optimize the order Klacks works out the shortest sensible sequence — detours and empty runs disappear.
  • 3
    Show it on the map The finished route appears on the map — by car, bike, or on foot.

Stylized example: Klacks connects the service locations into the shortest route.

In practice

Night shift, licence, one plan

Klacks automatically counts night shifts and warns once the configured threshold for regular night work is reached, assigns shifts only to staff with the matching SIA licence qualification, and so provides the basis for the health assessment that falls due — no manual recalculating required.
