The offer of specialized companies such as M2C allows for comprehensive construction site security. Physical workers supported by appropriate technological and technical solutions ensure optimal protection of the construction site and the materials stored on it.
Comprehensive construction site security
A construction site is a place where intensive work takes place on a daily basis, and at the same time is exposed to numerous risks, such as theft, vandalism or accidents. The basic element of securing the site is, of course, a solid fence, limiting access to the site by outsiders. Entrance or entry gates should be guarded and traffic flowing through them should be controlled, minimizing the risk of unwanted people getting into the construction site.
Qualified physical security personnel, properly trained and equipped, make regular patrols of the site, authorize entry or entrance to the site, and respond immediately to any threats.
A person, however, is not able to patrol the entire area at one time. This is where monitoring systems come to the rescue , which record what is happening on the construction site around the clock. CCTV systems are, on the one hand, material that can be analyzed after events, but also a tool that, expanded with modern analytical programs, can signal here and now that something suspicious is happening on our site.
The Innolytics system is an example of a solution that independently analyzes the recorded image. Importantly, it does so in real time, enabling appropriate action to be taken while the threat is still present.
A great complement to monitoring systems is the remote monitoring center – SPACE . It’s an excellent complementary solution when physical security is used, but it also works well as an independent security system. What is a remote monitoring center? It is a place where camera images from the protected area or facility are displayed, supervised by specially qualified analytical staff. So we can use dozens of cameras at once, recording almost every corner of the area. We don’t need our own room for this – the image is sent to just the remote center.
Video analytics sees more
By superimposing video analytics systems on the image, we are able to protect our yard from potential intrusions and attacks. Appropriately set alerts and maps on the recorded images will themselves notice when someone crosses, for example, the invisible security boundary we set between the site fence and the public area, or alert you when the weight or volume of the guarded building materials decreases.
Take care of your employees
Construction site security is not only about protecting the construction site and the building materials stored there. When talking about construction site security, it’s important to remember its most important component – construction workers. A safe workplace should be a priority for any construction company.
In addition to standard health and safety training and physical monitoring of compliance, we can also rely on technology to help. Analytical video systems alert us when they spot a worker without the required attire (helmet, vest) or moving in a potentially dangerous direction.
Let’s also keep in mind proper signage, lighting and traffic signals on the construction site. Increasingly, luminous markings are being used instead of painted ones, additionally connected to alarm systems, verifying, among other things, that traffic is moving in the designated, safe place.
Safety audit
Not sure if your construction site is properly secured? Order a security audit! M2C, as an expert in security services, knows exactly what elements and points to pay attention to. Our audit team can tell you if security at your construction site needs to be improved or enhanced. In addition to just assessing the degree of site security, you will learn how to increase the level of protection with specific guidelines.
A secure construction site reduces the risk of external and internal hazards on the site. As the person responsible for the team and the timely completion of construction work, you know how important it is to constantly monitor both the behavior of workers and their surroundings, and ensure that everyone performs their tasks in acomfortable and non-hazardous environment, achieving a common goal. By securing the site and construction materials, we enable construction teams to work efficiently and without interruption.
