Building Site Security
Staff Awareness
It is important that security measures are discussed at top level and that all senior staff fully understands the implications of poor security. Good control of staff and vehicles on site is essential. Security staff should regularly check and search all employees, lockers and contractors' vehicles. Employees' private vehicles should be kept off the site.
There are a number of measures that should be taken to raise staff awareness of security:
- Make individual members of staff personally responsible for company equipment they use. If equipment is lost through negligence or carelessness you could take disciplinary action.
- Make sure that everyone on site knows the company policy on crime management and is familiar with site security procedures.
- Tell everyone that you expect them to report suspicious incidents and that everything they say will be treated in confidence.
- If any plant is stolen, you should report the theft immediately to the local police, giving them as much information as possible about the missing item - including all serial numbers.

Our perspective
Stolen plant can be used to commit further crime. Anything suspicious should be reported to the police immediately.
