Construction Site Security in Leeds 

Construction site security in Leeds is a huge issue that construction companies have to contend with every day and night. Construction sites are seen as easy pickings for criminals. There are a number of reasons for this. Firstly, the security on construction sites in Leeds is often at best poor, with huge weak areas. Would be criminals do not respect inadequate boundary fencing and poor gates. The fact is that anyone with a little courage and bravado can be in and out of a construction site within just a few minutes. The pickings can be very rich, from hand tools and electrical equipment to industrial plant and machinery.

Construction Site Security in Leeds – Easy Targets?

One sobering statistic is that less than 10% of industrial plant machinery that is stolen is ever found again. Criminals can dispose of industrial plant and machinery very easily, making construction sites a high value target.

Leeds Construction Site Security Management Company

Managing theft from construction sites in Leeds is a specialist area of expertise. Many people will just assume that building a fence around the perimeter and adding a gate will solve all of their security problems. The reality though is somewhat different. Like it or not, theft often happens from a construction site from within. Managing theft from employees and contractors can be delicate on occasion. Access management as well as CCTV go a long way towards managing internal thefts. Quite simply, staff and contractors know that they will have a high chance of being caught on CCTV  and do not want to risk their jobs or contracts.

Managing theft and damage from outside should employ a more firm  approach. Security perimeter fencing and access control are required, and the CCTV will work as a deterrent to many people. However, manned guards represent a highly effective deterrent against would be thieves, particularly after normal working hours and at weekends.
