Any location can be a target for crime, but construction sites are more often chosen because they contain high value equipment. Construction sites don't often operate under the radar, so they are consistently exposed to criminal threats. There are many reasons for construction sites to seriously reconsider their current security measures based on traditional risks and current conditions.
Construction sites are high profile, public spaces full of valuable items, many of which are light enough to be quickly taken. Criminals can steal heavier equipment easily if given enough time. Construction sites frequently store valuable materials such as copper and metal, which can stolen rather easily.
Crime on construction sites are increasing. Stressful economic times often cause a rise in many types of crime. The construction industry has it worse when financial problems cause work stoppages that leave sites dormant and unoccupied for a prolonged period of time. This makes them even more vulnerable to crime. The most proactive construction sites understand they could be next without proper security service in place. Choose Guard Resource and have peace of mind knowing your property is safe and secure.
