911 Security Cameras Inc. is dedicated to the prevention of commercial site theft, and has outlined safety tips for all vulnerable job sites. Keep your job site from becoming a target…
Follow these security tips to reduce your risk of job site theft:
1. Post Signs
Display visable signage with clear and concise messages to intruders such as “Private Property” “Security Cameras in Use” “No Trespassing”.
2. Establish an End of Day Routine for Job Site Security
Businesses should designate an employee as the company crime prevention coordinator for security at each jobsite. The person responsible for security at your operation should walk the site at the end of the day to make sure that everything is secure. Always do a perimeter check to make sure there is no way a perpetrator can enter the premises (e.g. broken fence, overgrown shrubs near fence-jump over). Leave the area locked with all security systems armed.
3. Install Video Surveillance System
Being caught on video is a great deterrent to theft, and can also be used as evidence that will hold up in court cases. Mobile IP surveillance can easily move from one jobsite to the next, and sites can be monitored from any computer at anytime giving you 24/7 surveillance coverage. An estimated 90% of all equipment thefts take place between 6 p.m. Friday and 6 a.m. Monday. Surveillance allows you to secure your job site during these vulnerable time periods. Cameras can also be used for worker safety by detecting unsafe conditions and procedures.
4. Use Security Lighting
Proper and adequate lighting is essential to job site security. Bright white light provides good color differentiation making people easier to identify and license plates easier to read. Among the points on the job site that should be highlighted by lighting are the office trailer(s), equipment storage trailer(s), material storage yard and any equipment storage areas. These areas should be illuminated to a minimum of one foot-candle at ground level. Lighting systems triggered by a motion detector or passive infrared sensors are also recommended for the job site.
5. Protect Your Power Source
Thieves can and will cut power lines. Ideally power lines stay at a height of 24 feet or higher. Further, electric meter boxes can be targets as well so if your site has one, be sure to protect it well or find some other power source. Make sure you have a generator or some other independent source of power for your construction security lighting. Never be out of power with 911 Security Cameras wireless Mobile Surveillance Unit on wheels, perfect for remote operations.
6. Access Point Protection
The entire job site should be enclosed in sturdy fencing. If possible, there should only be one or two accesses or gates through the job site fencing. This makes access control easier. Chain link fencing topped by multiple strands of barbed wire is recommended. Keys should be issued to as few people as possible.
7. Watch out for Employee “Inside” Construction Theft
Insiders are a leading cause of construction theft on most jobsites. They know how the jobsite works and where you keep all the valuable equipment. Before hiring potential employee run a background check on all candidates. Also former employees carry out most jobsite theft. If an employee with key access resigns or is fired be sure to change locks especially if they had access to doors, gates and/or valuable equipment. Practice and communicate a zero tolerance policy on internal theft to all employees.
8. Keep accurate inventory records of equipment/tools
Label all equipment with unique identifying numbers, including the following: Product Identification Numbers (PIN) and Owner Applied Number (OAN). Record manufacturer, model number, year, PIN and purchase date for each piece of equipment
Bottom line: Remote Video Surveillance protects your job site from material and equipment theft.
