Construction site equipment is a theft and vandalism risk. True Security Inc. provides the required security and, if requested, full accountability of supplies and equipment. At your request, our staff will go beyond the standards of security to learn to identify any valuable or special equipment that is at risk.
Our officers allow only authorized persons entrance according to your requirements, including checking IDs. The uniformed guard may search tool boxes and containers of workers as required. Both unarmed and armed guards are available. We assess each construction site specifically for the best protection and safety concerns. Our services include short-term and long-term accounts, with 24/7 operators always ready to accommodate your needs.
Construction Site Security Considerations
- Know your local codes for safety and security requirements
- Implement a signing in and signing out procedure
- Use adequate lighting
- Use badges for authorized personnel on site
- Practice effective inventory management
- Ensure unauthorized people are prevented from accessing the site by securing and monitoring entry points
- Ensure authorized persons are fully inducted and understand the site security procedures and controls
- Ensure visitors are supervised at all times on site
- Question any person you suspect to be trespassing and escort them off site if unauthorized, or call local law enforcement for assistance
- Ensure the site perimeter is secured with 2m high fencing to deter theft or trespass and prevent access to children
- Lock access gates after normal working hours and any time the site is left unoccupied
- Take extra precautions if the site is left unoccupied over weekends or holidays, such as CCTV or security vehicle patrols
- Take extra precautions if the site is located in a heavily populated area or close to a school
- Take extra precautions if your site is within an occupied building such as a school or hospital
- Remove access ladders from excavations and scaffolds out of hours
- Barrier off or cover excavations, pits, and edges when out of use
- Immobilize all vehicles and plant when out of use and left unattended
- Lock vehicles and plant within a secure site compound and out of view if possible
- Power tools, materials, and equipment should be stored securely out of view
- Lock away hazardous substances within secure storage units designed for that purpose
- Ensure building materials are safely stacked and stored so they cannot topple over
- Regularly check perimeter hoarding or fencing to ensure it is intact and secure
- Ensure safety signage warning of danger and "SECURITY" is erected and maintained at the site boundaries
