Building Site Security
Plant and Materials
When ordering plant from a hire company, always make sure that there will be a responsible person on-site to accept delivery.
Be wary of anyone offering plant for sale, particularly if they have no proof of ownership - most major plant firms paint their equipment in their own particular colours.
If the site is not protected by perimeter fences, plant should be kept in a security compound and immobilised, using one of the security locks, rings or ground fixings that are available.
Order the minimum amount of materials you need and, as with any deliveries, make sure that there is someone trustworthy on site to accept them. If you have to order materials in bulk, store them in a security compound or in an area where theft will be noticed quickly.
