Safeguarding Equipment, Machinery, and On-Site Assets

Construction sites are increasingly vulnerable to theft, vandalism, and other criminal activities. Recent data from the 2023 Commercial Victimisation Survey reveals that approximately 28% of all business premises experienced crime in the past year, with theft (15%), burglary (9%), and vandalism (9%) being the most prevalent offenses (gov.uk).

Additionally, a concerning 70% of construction workers report witnessing theft on-site annually, leading to delays in at least one-third of projects. 

These disruptions not only cause financial strain but also affect project timelines and overall productivity. This highlights the importance of having robust security measures in place on construction sites to mitigate the impact of such criminal activity.

Furthermore, the Health and Safety Executive reports that in 2023/24, there were 642,000 incidents of violence at work, including 290,000 assaults and 352,000 threats (hse.gov.uk), underscoring the need for strong security to ensure the safety of your workforce as well as your assets.
