The Simple Measure You Can Take to Protect Your Construction Site
Theft, petty crimes, vandalism, trespassing — the things nightmares are made of for anyone in the construction industry. Your profitable project can turn into a messy loss if the wrong person visits your site after hours.
So what’s a site manager to do? Cameras, fences, and locks are great, but they can only go so far. And they simply won’t stop a criminal with a motive to get their hands on your high dollar tools or materials. When it comes to your construction site, a dollar spent on real prevention and deterrence always beats the cost of a camera or fence.
Beyond tools, we’re living in a world where lumber and material prices are through the roof and theft is at an all-time high. The construction industry can’t afford not to be proactive when it comes to project safety and security.
Implementing on-site personal security
As a foreman, contractor, or owner — keeping costs down is key to your construction companies success. But another factor to profitability is minimizing loss. Stolen tools, raw materials that mysteriously walk away, or property damages not only cut into your bottom line but cost you valuable time to replace or repair.
When you and your crew head home for the day, who's watching over the valuable assets you leave behind? By adding an on-site personal security guard to your project, you can rest assured your project is under watchful eye when you’re not around.
Unarmed security officers are trained to deter criminals, de-escalate confrontation, and minimize losses when the unexpected happens.
Minimizing Losses
What do we mean by ‘minimizing losses’? Our Twin City Security guards do more than deter criminals. Depending on the stage of your project, you may not have the luxury of leaning on a smoke detector or security system for alerts.
Our security officers watch your site the same way you would. Beyond crime avoidance, you’ll gain these additional benefits from on-site security:
Alerting the property authority to natural disasters such as a fire, storm damages, or a flood
Monitoring and document suspicious activity
Calling local law enforcement or fire department when necessary
Insurance
When it comes to theft, your insurance agent likely won’t be much help. Most general liability insurance policies do not cover theft.
The temporary nature of construction work often doesn’t allow for security system installation or proper barricading. Site managers need to prepare by implementing a security officer service.
How exactly can I justify the added cost of security?
The presence of security officers is an effective and low-cost form of insurance when compared to the tens of thousands of dollars that could easily be swiped. In Minnesota, Mother Nature provides plenty of opportunities to throw a wrench in a project timeline or budgets; don’t let theft be another factor.
We understand your needs are specific. The hours required, duration of the contract, number of guards — these are all things we address when creating a customized, cost-effective quote tailored to your specific project.
