Is it time to update your building site security?

Most public buildings and spaces have some sort of security systems installed- which is usually a clause in their insurance policy. However, more often than not many security systems such as site CCTV are old and outdated, do not make use of the latest cutting edge technology and are not looked after as they should be. In most cases, this does not come to light until it is too late, and there has been a break in or other incident on the property.

Therefore, Permanex Security advises you to check your construction site security systems before a thief or vandal has the opportunity to break into, or damage your site and its property.

The various factors that you will need to consider are; is your construction security still effective? Is the level of detection of your site security enough, so that it gives you a highly detailed image of an intruder if an incident was to happen? Also, are your security systems matched to the property it is now protecting? For example, just a few years ago schools would not have had any computers on their property, however these days many schools have numerous, expensive pieces of IT software- and if there old security systems are not up to scratch the schools may be vulnerable to a break in.

You may also need to consider the response your security systems trigger when the alarm has been sounded by someone breaking into the building. Does the alarm go through immediately to the police causing a level one priority call out? And you may also need to think about exactly whose responsibility it is to set the alarms, as well as secure the site at the end of the day when everyone has left.

These are all factors which you may, or may not have pondered and they often go forgotten until an incident takes place- by which time it is too late to make the changes which would have protected the property or site if you had taken action sooner. It is not just the financial consequences a break in, or act of vandalism can cause- but it can also cause a huge amount of disruption and upheaval to your business too, in addition to the emotional consequences such as upset and worry.

So perhaps it is time that you evaluated your security measures, such as alarm systems and CCTV systems to see if they meet your up to date requirements.

Alternatively, you may be interested in having your site professionally surveyed in which you will be recommended the latest and most effective building site security measures for your site, to reduce the risk of an incident occurring.
