Construction Security
Securing your site is vitally important to prevent the loss of valuable tools, machinery, and materials, as well as to keep the public and workers safe. Effective site security measures are essential, especially when dealing with maintenance, development, and construction work linked to large-scale infrastructure projects that cannot easily return all assets and equipment to a central depot at the end of each working day.
Work occurring in public spaces, open areas of land, or remote regions can be particularly vulnerable to construction site theft, vandalism, or targeted robberies.
The statistics concerning site theft are alarming:
- Statistics from insurer Allianz Cornhill show that theft alone costs the construction industry £800M a year.
- A survey found that more than £100 million of tools have been stolen in the UK since 2020.
- The Chartered Institute of Building revealed that 92% of respondents to their survey were directly affected by petty crime, with 21% stating their construction sites were robbed on a weekly basis.
- According to CESAR (the UK’s Official Construction Equipment Security and Registration Scheme), as little as 5% of unregistered plant is recovered.
