Security for Onsite Tradies
site Security for tradespeople
Many tradies find themselves working onsite including in residential or commercial construction.
A site’s overall well-being and safety can be affected by:
- Unsecured work areas open to thieves and vandals
- Open access, allowing unathourised persons in
- Risky psychological and physical environments.
The above factors can add expense and stressors to large jobs. Incidents can also lead to increased insurance premiums and down time due to injury or illness, increasing costs for management. However, CityWatch can mitigate situations where harm may occur to staff and/or members of the public.
Securing Work Areas and Managing Access
Construction sites attract thieves and vandals or can put onlookers at risk. This adds further expenditure to the project; replacing/repairing tools and materials / addressing Workcover claims. Victoria Police and the HIA recommend reducing onsite risk by implementing work procedures including security processes.
Victoria Police suggest builders implement onsite solutions such as:
- locking buildings and using secure storage containers
- installing closed circuit television (CCTV)
- installing audible alarms
- using good lighting
- employing a guard service.
Guard Services and CCTV can be a helpful deterrent, with patrols on hand to respond to alarms/incidents in real time. CityWatch has a 24/7 monitoring hub, meaning that should something occur, we can promptly attend and notify business owners. CCTV and monitoring can further be used as evidence for insurance claims.
CityWatch can help mitigate tradies’ stressors by:
- Keeping the site and equipment protected.
- Installing CCTV cameras and environmental monitors to alert the relevant people to workplace incidents.
- Helping control who goes in and out.
- Renting equipment for sites.
- Providing temperature checks during pandemic flare ups.
