Theft. Trespassing. Vandalism.
Construction sites are often targets for these crimes as well as many others. Keeping your job site safe and secure should be your highest priority.
Hiring a professional security agency can provide you and your crew with the protection you need from criminal activity. Construction sites have particular security needs, and you should consider hiring professionals who offer a construction protection service.
We’ve put together this guide so that you can learn the ins and outs of construction site security.
Armed Guards
Armed guards are a great resource to have in keeping your construction site safe. They can cover a lot of ground and are trained to handle the direst of situations with absolute precision and professionalism.
Our guards are also committed to providing threat deterrent measures. They will be visible and signs will be posted to let everyone know that your site is protected.
To some, armed guards may seem excessive, but a lot of crimes happen at construction sites. If you want to keep your site safe, especially if it is a larger site with a lot of workers, we highly recommend hiring guards.
Patrol Vehicles
Patrol vehicles are great for larger sites that require a lot of looking after for security concerns. Your security service can check your site several times over throughout the day and night to ensure no illegal activity is taking place.
Smaller sites may want to consider utilizing a walking patrol. These guards will walk around and through your site to make sure it’s the safest environment possible for your workers and clients.
Cameras
Cameras are one of the best ways to protect a site. Hiring a private security package may include the use of some of the best security gear available right now. State-of-the-art cameras will be watching your facility, even when no one’s around.
Visible security cameras, as well as signs that indicate the presence of cameras, are a great deterrent to crime. In case something illegal does take place on your site, cameras will record and preserve evidence of these incidents.
Full Coverage
No matter how big or small your site is, you will want complete coverage. Purchasing a complete coverage package will ensure that the entirety of your site is well protected by trained professionals.
You don’t want to leave even the most insignificant of areas on your site without coverage; you never know what might happen. It’s not worth the risk.
