FAQs
Got a Question About Our Scaffold Security?
If an alarm is activated, who responds?
The response to alarm activation depends on the system you have in place. For basic, unmonitored alarms, the responsibility of responding lies with the individuals on-site.
With our monitored alarm systems, you can specify up to four designated contacts who will be immediately notified if the alarm is activated. We also offer the option to have a manned response to attend the site promptly.
How long do the batteries last?
The batteries used in our systems typically last up to 2 years. We utilise high-quality lithium batteries to ensure long-lasting performance and reliable operation for an extended period.
Does the alarm sounder just continue to sound when activated?
Our alarm sounders are designed to be flexible and can be customised to suit your specific need. The duration of the alarm sound can be adjusted, ranging from 2 seconds to two minutes.
Additionally, for sites where a silent activation is preferred, the alarm sound can be muted, and the activation will be sent directly to the monitoring station for appropriate response.
How frequently is the security division audited by the NSI?
Our security division undergoes both external and internal audits on an annual basis to ensure compliance with the National Security Inspectorate (NSI) standards.
How quickly can you be on site?
We can be on any site within 24 hours from receiving the instruction, often even sooner. We also offer round-the-clock availability, 365 days a year.
What is the NCP115 Code of Practice?
The NCP115 Code of Practice, established by the National Security Inspectorate (NSI), sets the industry's highest standards for the design, installation, and maintenance of scaffolding alarm systems. Companies achieving NCP115 compliance demonstrate business excellence and a commitment to security.
At Panthera Group, we take pride in being NCP115 compliant, recognising the importance of adequately securing properties during periods when they are most vulnerable – such as when scaffolding is erected.
Panthera Group also helped develop the standards of excellence set out in NCP115 in collaboration with the NSI.

We’re proud to have worked with some of the biggest names in the construction industry
Since 2015, Durkan have been successfully working with Panthera under a single supplier framework agreement, this alone is testament to their ability and commitment in supporting Durkan through its own growth plans. In this time Panthera have safely installed in the region of over 8000 metres of hoarding across our schemes. Their MD Neal James and his team have always acted professionally and regularly go over and above to support our site teams.
Durkan are committed to driving down the C02 impact of its projects, EnviroHoard™ helps us from the start of the project and now it is Net Zero Verified will only further support our sustainability targets. I look forward to working with them in the future and would recommend their services to other contractors.

Sisk have been using Panthera across its various Wembley Park regeneration schemes since 2011 and since 2018 a national framework has been in place, during this time they have safely and professionally designed and installed a range of hoarding systems to suit the projects exacting requirements. In line with our own company sustainability strategy, we have been using their sustainable EnviroHoard™ system and have been impressed by its flexibility and in particular its sustainable attributes including its climate positive benefits, Tree Planting and Carbon Offsetting. I have always found them to be an easy and collaborative subcontractor to work with and would have no hesitation in recommending their services.

Panthera are a Tier 1 Subcontractor to Lovell, who deliver in terms of H&S, quality of workmanship and have a pro-active attitude on site. In terms of commercial approach, Panthera are non-contractual and their quotations and valuations are of a very good quality. A major benefit of Panthera is that they can undertake the Site Hoarding, Temporary Electrics & Plumbing and CCTV Security on our project, these are procured under a single contract. Operationally they deliver these packages using their in-house teams and coordinate all packages saving our site teams having to coordinate multiple trades.

EnviroHoard™ not only helps us to meet our ambitious environmental targets, it also has real practical benefits. The panels needed to sit on top of a retaining wall with a 4m drop on one side. As EnviroHoard™ is installed from the rear, it eliminated the need for a partial road closure and the hiring of aerial platforms (MEWPS) which saved traffic disruption and cost and a further benefit was that the works did not have to take place at night.
The hoarding has a clean, professional looking appearance and does not need any on-going decorating maintenance and can be easily dismantled and reinstalled across the project with no loss in its visual appearance or structural integrity.
Matthew Davis
Project Manager, Kier
Firstly, the hoarding system we chose needed to be able to last for the entire project; this is because we made a conscious decision early on that a key driver across the scheme was to look for environmentally friendly alternatives. The EnviroHoard™ solution enabled us to meet that requirement perfectly.
We had been testing the product on simulated sites, but the opportunity to install in a real situation was ideal and has reaffirmed the benefits of the system. When coupled with the benefits of using a closed loop recycled solution that eliminates the use of trees, we believe EnviroHoard™ is the way forward for site hoarding solutions.
