Security Site Assessment

Security should begin at the beginning of the project and continue to increase or decrease based on the site assessments and adjusted accordingly.

Question:  Is there a need for bar coding on all site tools?

Answer:   Yes, without bar coding or some type of inventory control the Security Guards/Officers will not have any idea of tools are on the site, so he or she will not know to check the tools leaving.

Question:    Should there be a record of all visitor's to the site?

Answer:      Yes, there should a clear and concise log of all persons currently on the site. The Security Guard/Officer should be able to look in one location and determine how many people are on the site at any given time, in the event of fire or other emergency evacuation.     

Question:    Should a site rely wholly on the eyes and memory of the Security Guards/Officers?

Answer:      No, the Security Guards/Officers need backup in the form of a surveillance camera and log books.

Question:    Should surveillance cameras replace Security Guards/Officers?

Answer:      No, surveillance cameras should be used as a tool of the trade for the Security Guards/Officers to help him or her do their job effectively.

Theft and vandalism on construction sites in the commercial construction industry is a problem that can affect productivity and drain profits. In an effort to explore the impact of theft and vandalism in the commercial construction industry, a survey was sent to commercial construction firms to gather information by which the magnitude of the problem of theft and vandalism could be estimated; and to determine what techniques have been successfully used to deter thieves and vandals.

The responses were analyzed and several conclusions were developed. Firms engaging in all types of projects are susceptible to theft and vandalism. Theft is more costly to large sized firms ($100 million and over in annual volume of construction work) than smaller firms, but vandalism is more costly for smaller firms. This occurs despite the fact that larger firms use a greater number of measures to combat theft and vandalism on their construction sites. The results should be of particular interest to construction firms that want to reduce the number of theft and vandalism incidents.
