SITE SECURITY PLAN

SITE SECURITY PLAN:

INTRODUCTION:

Construction sites are easy targets for thieves. Constant staff turnover means it is
difficult to keep good security records and the high value of materials and equipment can
lead to quick and easy profit for successful thieves.

A proportion of construction site crime is committed by people working in the industry.

This means a great responsibility rests with site supervisors. If they take a strong line on
security by making company policy clear to everyone, they can go a long way to reducing
the problem.

1.0 PURPOSE:

The purpose of this Action Plan is to define all the requirements to be adhered with in
order to maintain security at work location(s).

The security force must apply a high standard of security measures in and around the
Project area(s).

This Action Plan is therefore designed to emphasize security as a line responsibility,

allowing for flexibility in maintaining minimum standards for the protection of life and
property.

The objectives are therefore to provide the Staff Project with basic guidelines on
the best way to manage security.

2.0 DEFINITIONS:

Client:
A person or organization using the services of a professional person or company.

Project:
A plan or scheme to do something.

A set of tasks that must be completed within a define timeline.

Risk:
A potential and uncertain event, which could have an adverse effect on profitable
operations.
Risk is the product of threats; our vulnerability to them; the
probability that they will occur and the criticality of the outcome of the event taking
place.
Risk = Threat x Vulnerability.
Threat:
A broad range of forces or conditions which could produce adverse result; or any
attempt or act by individuals or groups to intentionally cause harm, injury or deliberate
damage or otherwise, to damage interests and activities, e.g. traffic control, theft, etc.

4.0 SECURITY RISK ASSESSMENT:

• Establish actual location of area of activity and produce a map of secured areas.

• Identify immediate and potential threats.

• Conduct a security survey (i.e. physical examination and checks of the premises or location of
activity and all operational systems and procedures), with a view to:

• Identifying items to be protected.

• Identifying threats and vulnerabilities.

5.0 GENERAL SECURITY PLAN

• Enlist the support of employees in minimizing theft and other in appropriate behavior.

• Explain to them the consequences that might be used by the company either with a
deductible for coverage or without cove for pilferage of tools and material on site.

• Report all inappropriate events to the appropriate personnel and or to the security
guard on duty immediately.

• Have serial numbers and information about markings on the equipment available
Make sure there is a complete record of model and serial numbers of all equipment
assigned to the project.
5.1 LIGHTING THE PROJECT SITE.

• The effective use of lighting can be an effective deterrent to theft and vandalism on the
construction job site.

• It is particularly effective in deterring the casual or impulse offender. Among the

points on the job site that should be highlighted by lighting are the office trailer(s),
equipment storage trailer(s), material storage yard and any equipment storage areas.

• These areas should be illuminated to a minimum of one foot-candle at ground level

Ideally, these areas should be visible from the most heavily traveled road bordering the
construction job site.

5.2 FENCING OF THE PROJECT SITE.

 Fencing is particularly important on the construction job site. Ideally, the entire job site
should be enclosed in sturdy fencing.

 If it is not practical to enclose the entire job site, at a minimum the area around trailers and
material storage should be enclosed.

 If possible, there should only be one or two accesses or gates through the job site fencing.
This makes access control easier.

 Chain link fencing topped by multiple strands of barbed wire is recommended. Chain link
fencing allows for surveillance by security patrols, police and by neighbors.

 Special attention should be given to the fencing of areas used to store hazardous materials
poisons, solvents, explosives, flammables, etc.

 It is recommended that employee’s either park their personal vehicles outside the
construction fence or have a specifically designated parking area within the fence. The
objective of this recommendation is to minimize the theft of tools, material and equipment

5.3 ALARM SYSTEM.

• Electronic alarm systems can be an effective means of providing security on the job site,
particularly for office and storage trailers or for material storage areas.

• Portable alarm systems are available that will detect motion, activate lights and sound
alarms. Unless are very isolated, it is recommended that alarms sound locally.

• This may serve to scare off the perpetrator and draw the attention of a neighbor or
passer-by. Alarms can also activate telephone calls to the contractor, private security
services or the local police with a pre-recorded message. Before making such alarm
installations, however, the local law enforcement agency should be contacted to insure
there is no law or policy prohibiting alarm installations that make calls directly to them.
 5.4 ON SITE SECURITY:

To discourage theft, you can permanently mark your company’s property for quick
visual identification.

The most common way of marking items is to use colored paint Stamping, oe serial
numbering.

Encourage everyone on site to mark all their tools and keep a list of all material as
well as serial and engine numbers.

Ensure all small tools and equipment are stored in a high security cabinet or
enclosure.

5.5 SITE OFFICE SECURITY:

Position the site office in an area with limited access for the opportunist thief
Office equipment, particularly computers are all expensive and can easily be stolen if
not properly secured

They should be security marked with indelible marking, for example by branding
the company name or logo on the equipment.

Crime can be managed like any other aspect of business and controlled through
business strategies.

It is not always just bad luck that one business suffers crime and another enjoys a safe
environment.

A balanced prevention strategy means that a thief will either give up, move
on or be caught thus minimizing your business loss.

5.6 TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT SECURITY

All tools and equipment that are can easily hand carry should have the following:

 Must have serial number or company name engraved on every hand-held tool and equipment.

 A log book monitoring from warehouse should be always be updated from who borrowed, time,
borrowers name and name of sub-contractor.

 Security personnel should know the protocol of pull-out form and should know the legitimate
personnel or staff to do so.

 Frisking is a must and on way to give the culprit a doubt to make such theft attempt.
5.7 HEAVY EQUIPMENT SECURITY.

The name of the company owning the Heavy Equipment should be dying stamped
underneath the serial number of the piece of Equipment.

 The company name should be die cast in two (2) or more hidden areas on the
piece of
 Equipment.

 All Heavy Equipment should be identified with non-removable weather proof

seals.

 The Company Name should be welded onto the Equipment.

 Keys should be removed from the Equipment when it is not in use.

can be fixing in Heavy Equipment.

 Wheel locks or immobilizers can be fit on Smaller Wheeled Vehicles,

Generators or Compressors.

 Vehicle entrances into the project sites. could be gated and locked during evening.

5.8 DELIVERIES

 A standard procedure for checking material on and off at the job site should be
established and followed.

 One person should be assigned the responsibility of maintaining tight

inventory control of all materials and tools delivered, and only sign for each
delivery after carefully checking the form for shortages.

 Critical material should not be stored on the job site any longer than
necessary.

 Whenever possible, the delivery of high value material or those in critical

supply should be timed on an as needed basis for delivery.

 Materials and Equipment should be spot checked frequently. Empty cartons

should not be allowed to accumulate as they may be used to carry supplies or
material off the job site.
  Waste removal should be supervised so Tools and Materials cannot be hidden in
containers and then removed from the job site.
 Gates to the construction job site should be kept to a minimum. Strange or
Unrecognized Vehicles

 on the job site should be challenged. If possible and practical to do so,

uniformed guards should be utilized during working hours to check vehicles
entering and leaving the job site.

 Gates should be closed and locked at night and on weekends.
