Hours should follow the risk, not a brochure.
24/7 is three shifts and a handover. Overnight-only is one post and a morning lock-open. Most construction compounds and many warehouses need the night, not the Tuesday afternoon.
OnGuard will recommend overnight static, weekend cover or a full week after a short brief. We will not invent a 24/7 package because it invoices better.
Multi-site clients often mix: a 24/7 lobby in the city and overnight patrols on the yard. One company can hold both if the spine already runs that way.
Takeaways
- Match hours to the risk
- Overnight + patrol is a common honest mix
- 24/7 only when the site is actually live
