Copper and electrical cabling
Building materials
Contractors’ equipment
The impact of theft can go far beyond the value of the stolen items.
Missing equipment or damaged property can potentially cause project delays, additional costs and disruption to contractors and construction schedules.
Professional security guards provide a visible presence on site and can conduct regular patrols, monitor access points and report suspicious activity or security concerns.
Protecting Commercial & Industrial Premises
Manned security is not limited to construction sites.
Warehouses, factories, offices, retail premises, storage facilities and industrial units can also benefit from additional security, particularly during evenings, weekends and holiday shutdown periods.
Depending on the requirements of the client and premises, our security officers can assist with:
Access Control
Monitoring authorised personnel, visitors and vehicles entering and leaving the premises.
Security Patrols
Conducting regular patrols around buildings, boundaries, gates and other vulnerable areas.
Incident Response
Responding to incidents and suspicious activity in accordance with agreed site procedures.
CCTV & Alarm Monitoring
Monitoring security systems where this forms part of the agreed guarding duties.
Security Reporting
Maintaining appropriate records of patrols, incidents and observations for site management.
Manned Security and Technology Working Together
CCTV, intruder alarms, security lighting and access-control systems all have an important role to play in protecting commercial premises.
However, combining technology with a professional physical security presence can provide another layer of protection.
A security officer can investigate suspicious activity, carry out physical patrols and follow agreed escalation procedures when an incident occurs.
Depending on the site’s requirements, businesses may benefit from combining:
Manned guarding
Mobile security patrols
CCTV
Keyholding
Alarm response
Locking and unlocking services
Out-of-hours property checks
A combination of these services can provide a security solution designed around the actual risks and operating requirements of the premises.
Winter Weather Creates Additional Site Risks
Winter security isn’t only about preventing crime.
Heavy rain, strong winds, freezing temperatures and storms can also cause problems for construction sites and commercial premises.
During patrols, security personnel may identify issues such as:
Damaged perimeter fencing
Unsecured gates
Doors or windows left open
Storm damage
Water ingress
Unusual activity
Other potential safety or security concerns
Identifying and reporting problems early can allow site management or the appropriate contractor to respond before an issue becomes more serious.
Security During Christmas & New Year Shutdowns
The Christmas and New Year period deserves particular attention.
Construction sites and commercial premises that normally have employees and contractors present throughout the week may suddenly be empty for several days.
Businesses should consider reviewing their security arrangements before closing for the festive period.
Temporary manned guarding, mobile patrols, alarm response or keyholding services can provide additional protection without necessarily requiring a permanent year-round guarding contract.
