How Our Security Officers Can Help You Protect Your Construction Site
Access Control
Many individuals access construction sites every day. Builders, painters, delivery personnel, electricians, plumbers, and many other individuals will access the construction site on a regular basis. The chances of seeing new faces on the construction site are more as the work progresses. So, keeping a track on all those individuals who visit the respective site can be a difficult task for the management unless there is a designated security person. With the assistance of construction site security guards, the administration can control the site access and leave very less room for theft.
Prevent Theft
Construction sites generally consist of various items ranging from building material to power tools. If left unprotected, construction sites can be easy targets of thieves of different types. Seasoned thieves can go through the overall setup of unsecured construction sites during the daytime and come back at night for theft. The cost of the robbery may vary from a few hundred dollars to thousands. However, if you have construction security guards, there will be hardly any opportunity for thieves to approach your construction site.
Prevent Vandalism
Vandalism is another serious threat associated with any unsecured construction sites. According to statistics, the construction industry loses hundreds of millions of dollars every year as a result of vandalism. Repairing, replacing or rehiring the damaged construction equipment can be significantly costly to any construction site. In addition to that, construction companies that become victims of vandalism tend to lose their businesses. Also, they tend to get costly insurance premiums. But, you can stay away from all those troubles by merely hiring a professional security guard.
Fire Watch
Most of the construction sites don’t have sufficient safety systems to protect against fire. Both site managers and workers hardly focus on the potential fire hazards on the site. However, a professionally trained, experienced security officer can identify potential fire-related dangers in advance and take the necessary actions. Construction site security guards can evacuate employees safely and coordinate with the fire department to minimize the damages as much as possible.
Address Conflicts
Most of the construction sites comprise of different individuals with different characteristics. When these individuals work together, tension can grow in construction sites in most of the cases. Eventually, such a situation can lead to various conflicts between the individuals. Management and staff will not be able to handle these conflicts peacefully unless with the assistance of trained security staff.
