Construction Security

What is Construction Security?

Construction security involves implementing comprehensive physical security measures that support and protect the site’s infrastructure. This includes the installation of CCTV systems, alarm systems, and clear signage to deter potential threats.

At A&M Protection, we provide complete security solutions for construction and development sites nationwide. Our on-site security officers safeguard properties, assets, staff, and residents, whether in private or public spaces. Trained to detect, deter, and respond to risks and incidents, they ensure your site remains safe. Our officers can also provide dog-assisted security, screening services, and loss prevention strategies.

Why is Construction Site Security Important?

Construction sites are often vulnerable to theft of valuable equipment, vandalism, and even arson. Additionally, trespassers who enter these sites risk serious injury, which can result in compensation claims. Preventing unauthorized access not only protects your equipment but also safeguards the trespassers themselves.

Our construction security services include manned guards, CCTV monitoring, alarm system surveillance, and our advanced guard patrol monitoring system. From the initial groundwork stages to project completion, A&M Protection provides peace of mind throughout the building process.

What Does a Construction Security Guard Do?

Construction security guards play a critical role in managing site security. They monitor and control vehicle and visitor access, log all entries, escort visitors to the construction office, and secure the site during non-operational hours.

Construction sites are prime targets for criminals seeking to steal machinery or tools, or for those attempting to vandalize near-completed projects. We advise our clients to securely lock up all equipment at night and highlight any problem areas for us to address.

Our expertise in handling issues such as unauthorized access by Travelers, homeless individuals, or children is highly praised by our clients. Our guards enforce strict access control to ensure no unauthorized personnel enters the site. We are particularly vigilant about preventing children from entering, as this poses significant safety risks.
