When it comes to building sites, security is a critical concern. Simply relying on basic measures like removing keys from ignitions and using padlocks and chains is no longer sufficient to deter determined thieves. So, what additional measures can be taken to protect your valuable assets?
Controlled entry and exit systems: Implement clear access control to monitor who enters the site, from staff to contractors.
Staff training: Educate your team to adopt secure practices and minimise theft risks.
Site security barriers: Invest in reputable barriers to reduce site vulnerability.
CCTV and bright lighting: Install Soteria surveillance cameras to cover your CCTV and lighting with our camera’s built in lights to deter thieves.
Additional measures: Consider immobilisers and tracking systems for machinery.
Building sites that lack proper security measures become enticing targets for opportunistic thieves. Expensive machinery and tools can be easily sold for substantial profits. Shockingly, the recovery rate for stolen plant machinery in the UK stands at a mere 9%, compared to 50-60% for motor vehicles. This means that thieves can commit the crime without facing appropriate consequences.
Don’t let your building site become an easy target. Invest in robust security measures that deter thieves and protect your assets. At Soteria Security Services, we specialise in delivering comprehensive security solutions tailored to your specific needs.
