FARSIGHT Security Services sets high standard for green thinking in the security industry

Farsight are tackling their environmental impact and taking preventative health and safety measures

FARSIGHT Security Services Ltd has been setting the standard high for green thinking in the security industry.

Farsight are tackling their environmental impact, improving customer relations and taking preventative health and safety measures with a comprehensive warehouse clear out and upgrade of operator nodes.

The upgraded operator nodes now consist of one, high-end PC as oppose to three older ones. The updated PCs allow numerous types of software to run simultaneously – increasing operator efficiency and reducing the environmental impact of running several PCs at once.

At the same time, to maintain safety for employees and prevent hazards arising, Farsight initiated a warehouse clear out.

The result was three full skips of waste, all of which were sent for recycling, as oppose to landfill.

Farsight approached Woodford Recycling, Huntingdon, to provide their recycling services for the warehouse clear out. Farsight currently monitors the recycling centre’s premises, demonstrating a fantastic working relationship between the security services and its customers.

The Farsight team made a concerted effort to ensure the clear out and upgrade had minimal negative impact on the environment. This included complete compliance with WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) regulations.

Joel Babb, Farsight’s IT manager and coordinator of the clear out, said: “We began the process of the clear out as a preventative health and safety measure, and it quickly developed into a project that allowed us to show our environmentally responsible outlook and friendly business ethic.”

“We’re proud of the way we work with our own customers. We provide them with a very high standard of security services, and recognise they are experts in their own fields too.

“These projects are all part of an exciting year for us. We’re leading the way for an environmentally friendly outlook in the security industry, and proving innovative thinking really does make a difference.”
