Industrial Security

What is Industrial Security?

Warehouse security is a vital aspect of any business that deals with hardware products. Warehouses, which often store valuable equipment and products, are typically located far from distribution centers, making security a top priority.

What Tasks Will Our Guards Perform for Industrial Security?

• Supervision of car parks
• Acting as a visual deterrent to discourage criminal activity
• Access control for visitors, staff, and deliveries
• Receiving and managing deliveries
• Monitoring through CCTV surveillance
• Conducting regular patrols of the premises
• Ensuring safety compliance on-site

Why is Security Important in Industry?

Effective and reliable security is essential to any business because it minimizes liabilities, reduces insurance costs, and cuts down on compensation expenses. Ultimately, this leads to increased revenue and reduced operational costs.

Industrial sites and warehouses are frequently targeted by criminals due to:

• Their remote locations
• The high value of goods stored
• Extended periods of time when the site is unmanned (e.g., weekends, holidays)
• Limited reliability of alarm systems due to site location and valuable assets

A&M Protection’s Warehouse Security Solutions

Our SIA-licensed guards are equipped to meet the security needs of any industrial or warehouse facility. They perform site patrols, monitor CCTV, respond to emergencies, and manage alarm systems. Additionally, we place warning boards in key areas of the site as an extra visual deterrent to discourage criminal activity.

We conduct a thorough site assessment as part of our service to determine the best security strategy and identify potential problem areas.

Rigorous Access Control

Our security team enforces strict access control measures, ensuring all visitors, delivery personnel, laborers, management, and staff provide identification upon arrival and sign in and out of the facility. They also ensure that company policies, such as wearing identification badges, are followed by all staff.

To minimize internal theft, we can set up random searches of staff lockers and bags, carried out by male or female guards as required. Our guards adhere to strict protocols when conducting these searches.

Trained and Prepared Guards

All our guards hold valid SIA licenses and are trained as fire marshals and in first aid to handle emergency situations. We also provide them with scenario-based training specific to industrial and warehouse environments, ensuring they are comfortable managing various situations.

Our guards fully integrate themselves into the day-to-day operations of your business, performing tasks such as reception duties and providing backup to on-site staff during the day or night. They also take responsibility for maintaining the security of goods and stock during their shift by:

• Ensuring perishable goods remain fresh
• Securing the site during extreme weather conditions
• Checking for damaged, faulty, or dislodged items
• Recording any injuries or incidents
• Preventing vandalism

Professionalism and Supervision

Our guards always wear full uniforms, enhancing their role as both a member of authority and a visual deterrent. They undergo a thorough induction to ensure they are well-versed in handling fire, fault, and intruder alarm systems without disrupting your staff during off-hours.

In addition to providing security guarding, a supervisor will periodically visit your site to ensure the guard is performing their duties effectively. The supervisor also conducts mobile patrols to check areas of your site that may not be covered on foot.
