Sites that are under construction, particularly when in a public area or an area easily accessible by the public, are tremendously vulnerable and dangerous places, rife in potential dangers. These dangers not only concern the damage to and stealing of contents within the construction site, but also include the risk of harm to intruders and the general public.

Extensive and effective security measures must therefore be installed throughout a construction site wherever it may be, safeguarding property and reducing the risk of potential harm to the public.

Whilst there are a multitude of different components involved in safeguarding a construction site, the absolute essentials of security required for a construction site can be summarised as:

  • Construction Site security guards
  • Construction site CCTV systems
  • Site hoarding
  • Construction site access control systems

SECURITY GUARDS FOR CONSTRUCTION SITES

With the large numbers of vehicles and people entering and exiting throughout the day in addition to its complete abandonment at night, every construction site is at high risk of intrusion, theft and vandalism.

Although frequently considered a luxury, security guards can help to hugely reduce and even eliminate the risk of thieves entering or vandalising the premises. Their prominent, often 24-hour visibility acts as not only a deterrent for potential intruders but also an excellent line of defence against those who are already within the premises unauthorised.
