Running a successful development project is not an easy task. Materials and equipment need to be kept safe and workplace standards need to be enforced firmly. Additional safety protocols implemented by inexperienced teams can cause site delay. But limited safety measures can lead to theft, injures or even causualties. This can require firms to cough up hefty, unnecessary amounts. A security team needs to protect developers interests while increasing site efficiency, not decreasing it.
Comprehensive Procedures
Security personnel should have comprehensive procedures, developed jointly with project managers and site staff to tackle all challenges with workplace efficiency in mind. These procedures should cover every conceivable situation, from clearance levels to emergency incident protocol.
Selection & Training
The delicate nature of construction site security requires personnel with exceptional work-ethic intelligence and a clandestine instinct. Our selection process identifies officers who can understand site goals quickly and implement developed measures to meet them with efficiency in mind. They then undergo specialized training on access control operations, site patrols and construction worker atmospheres. Being a victim of site theft can easily be the result of a dishonest carpentry worker or journeyman. Our training focuses the officers on being aware of these actions and taking necessary steps to prevent them, such as plain clothes officers and after hours employee participation.
Law-Enforcement Liaison
The construction site security force is an ally to the local law enforcement agents and vice versa. Both parties are the eyes and ears of the site and are in regular communication regarding incidents, events and threats. The construction security team monitors local crime at other sites to be prepared for potential theft, arson or inside information being leaked.
While electronic gates may be easy to use, having a dedicated officer controlling site access is more efficient. Controlled site access guards can grant authorized access to vehicles of contractors, employees and delivery services based on a set of comprehensive procedures developed with project representatives. Officers can approve or disapprove visitors based on previously established best practices.
Regardless of how safe you think your site may be, people will always find ways around the layout. One way to quell potential incidents and crime is with trained patrol guards. These officers can take periodic patrols throughout the job site and surrounding areas on-foot or make rounds in a marked vehicle. Multiple randomized patrol routes are developed with site management based on peak activity hours.
Track records of inventory should be information kept on a need-to-know basis. It can also take up valuable time from site-workers. Security personnel keeping a log of all deliveries and material, down to the unit number, will keep a tight lid on potential theft or property loss while offloading tedious inventory counts normally given to site workers. Having a security team in charge of this prevents inside information being leaked as well.
Sometimes, it's the ones right under your nose who are scheming against you. A good way to protect your project from theft is having plain clothed officers mixing with the workers during down-time, lunch and after hours. Having a personnel file on every site employee, including their union affiliation and criminal record, is invaluable information in the event of theft and great way to combat individuals who wish to plot against the site.
