What Are the Benefits of Having Security Guards at Construction Sites?

Back view of construction engineer in hardhat looking at buildingMonroe County and the surrounding Rochester areas are not immune from crime or problems. If and when you have a construction site in Western or Central New York State, you might want to consider hiring security guards via C.O.P. Security. They can be the eyes and ears to watch over your site and valuable equipment since you can’t be there 24/7.

Construction Sites Are Prone to Theft and Other Disturbances

Construction sites, no matter where they are anywhere in the world, are often prone to theft and vandalism. If you were a teenage boy with nothing to do and you and your pals just happened to get through a fence and horse around at a construction site when you were younger, you know it’s likely someone spray painted something or threw a rock and broke some glass or even tried to start a construction site vehicle and see if they could move it. Is this for fun? Is this to be a rebel? Will they be back?

There Are Plenty of Valuables Available to Steal at Construction Sites

At a construction site you might have thousands (if not tens of thousands) dollars worth of equipment and materials such as dump trucks, cranes, steel beams, wood, HVAC units, etc. Doesn’t it make sense to have security guards watching your stuff when you’re not there, especially overnight? Security guards help deter theft, vandalism and trespassing, and if things get out of hand they call the police to take care of business.

Security Guards Can Patrol the Area

Security guards can also be helpful at construction sites by managing access to the premises– letting in people who belong there and keeping people out who do not belong there. They can patrol the grounds on foot or using a vehicle such as a golf cart or car. And they can write down detailed reports of what “went on” while they keenly observed the site.
