Construction Site Security Guard Service

Our proven three-step approach to guarding assignments consistently delivers effective site security irrespective of location, duration or lead time.

We can install security guards on sites across the UK within three hours.

Why Have Security Guards?

Construction sites are regarded as an easy target for opportunistic thieves, with many contractors and vehicles entering each day as well as being completely vacated at night. Many construction sites suffer theft, yet security is often considered a ‘luxury’ (or an unnecessary evil!).

However, well-managed uniformed construction site security is effectively cost-neutral, with savings made in the prevention of lost plant, materials and frustrating downtime. It may also be an insurance requirement.

Our Three-Step Approach:

1. Site Security Assessment & Planning

Each site assessed by qualified security professionals to identify the nature and details of the security issues and how they should be managed.

This assessment forms the basis of the unique security plan for the site.

2. Implementation

Security guards installed on site.

The security patrol plan route is QR coded at each key point. This enables it to be tracked and reported to the agreed frequency in the plan. Tracking and proof data is provided via an app.

Security guards’ phones are geo-fenced to ensure the data is sent from the exact location being guarded.

Each guard, as a lone-worker, must check-in once an hour.

3. Reporting

Site security status is reported daily

The guard is the ‘eyes and ears’ on site and regularly provides site security status reports

Reports include any changing situations and differences in security provision or actions required

Vetted, Licensed, Experienced

With the risk mitigation being paramount, we start by vetting our officers to BS 7858 to confirm at least 5 years unblemished history, with each being DBS checked and, of course, SIA licensed and highly experienced.

Where stipulated, security guards holding CSCS cards can be deployed. In addition, officers arrive prepared with full PPE including hard hat, hi-vis clothing and safety boots. Being CHAS accredited, Secure Site UK naturally takes site health and safety seriously, in order to protect all parties.

Properly Managed Assignments

Before commencing, detailed assignment instructions and site-specific risk assessments are completed by one of our guarding supervisors to ensure guards’ duties exactly meet the construction site security requirements. This starts with reporting directly to the Site Manager upon arrival to receive a briefing and, where possible, a site tour – with relevant risks noted and responsibility for keys accepted.

With site patrol intervals agreed, officers check perimeter and gate security, plant, materials with any damage – potential issues or incidents are time-stamped in the site log book.

Properly Supervised Officers

Officer supervision is key to a successfully managed site, and that’s what we believe sets our guarding service apart from the others. We conduct regular, unannounced supervisory site visits to check guard performance and welfare.

We believe there’s the potential for every security guard to be a real asset to the site management team – especially when well-managed and dedicated to their role.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL

“Please give all the security guards our thanks, they have all been fab, professional and friendly. You have been a great company to work with for both the security guards and the fencing.”

NASDU-Certified Dog Handlers

Secure Site UK’s security dog handlers provide an unrivalled visual and psychological deterrent – as well as physical obstruction to those ignoring polite notices or intent on committing criminal activity.

3 Guards or 1 Dog?

The cost-effectiveness a security dog is often overlooked, since a highly trained and experienced canine unit with heightened senses of smell and hearing can efficiently protect a site otherwise requiring 3 static officers.

Anywhere in the UK in 3 Hours

To meet emergency requirements, Secure Site UK also has the capability and flexibility to install licensed security officers and dog handlers anywhere in the UK within 3 hours.
