Secure strategies for construction sites- Safezone Protect Ltd

Figures reveal that over the last few years the construction industry has contributed consistently to the growth of the Kenya economy with last year’s statistics stating a precise 0.6% incline. The daily mail reported this to be the ‘biggest boom ever’ in the construction industry which they reflected was driven by the soaring temperature. Construction sites are notorious hot spots for theft and vandalism seen by thieves as gold mines of expensive equipment and creative youths as a blank canvas to make their mark upon. Such people take advantage of the vacancy of space found at construction sites when building staff is done for the day. Therefore, such sites need to be monitored to ensure the safety of the equipment on-site as well as the peace of mind of those whose responsibility it is to maintain the security of the site.

What is most at risk on a construction site?

Plant, fuel, and materials are the main assets that are at risk through theft, whilst vandalism, attacks on workers, arson, and security breaches of temporary site buildings are also very real hazards. There are also risks in the form of access by protestors who may seek to achieve anything from publicity through to damage or destruction of the site.

Construction site managers should work on four key objectives:
