By Alpha Security Bureau Job sites are vulnerable due to avoidable oversights that can result in costly shutdowns. Here are the top 5 security mistakes based on our experience.
★Lack of On-Site Security Personnel Remote cameras help, but without guards, your site is open to theft and vandalism. Solution: Deploy trained guards from Alpha Security Bureau for active response and protection.
★ Failure to Secure Equipment and Materials After Hours Unsecured tools and materials are prime theft targets.
Solution: Use overnight patrols and enforce lock-up protocols.
★ Ignoring Perimeter Fencing and Access Control Open access invites unauthorized entry and legal liability. Solution: Install fencing and assign access control officers.
★ No Fire Watch Services During Critical Phases Sites with hot work need certified Fire Watch.
Solution: Use Alpha’s trained Fire Watch to stay code-compliant.
★ Delayed Response to Breaches or Alarms A slow response causes major delays and financial losses. Solution: Pair alarms with 24/7 response teams.
