Site Security
A s anyone in the construction trade will agree, construction sites are often perceived by thieves and vandals to be easy targets. This problem continues to grow year on year due to the increased value of equipment, materials and tools, and can cost businesses a fortune, adding to insurance costs and delaying completion of projects. Downtime on a construction site while stolen goods are replaced and police investigations undertaken inevitably leads to the profitability of a job being reduced massively. Construction is demanding work that requires skill and concentration so the last thing those working within the sector need is the added complication
of dealing with theft and vandalism. Before you begin your next project, make sure you are fully aware of the risks and how to avoid them. Securing the Perimeter Everything will be contained within the perimeter of the site so this is the most important part of your protection plan. A strong perimeter will be enough to deter opportunistic thieves and vandals, and make it harder for the more determined ones. • Security fencing is undoubtedly the best method of perimeter protection. Weaker areas of the perimeter such as entry and exit points need to be kept to the minimum required.
