Install reliable CCTV, with thermal imagery technology if possible
The first step that many industrial site managers implement when it comes to security measures is CCTV. Whilst CCTV can act as a great deterrent, you do need to consider failings this particular technology can be prone to.
- Their positioning could lead to blind spots
- They are subject to technical faults, such as a power cut.
- They can be a target for vandalism
If you’re keen to install a CCTV monitoring system, we can advise you on how to get the very best out of your investment. We can advise on the best technology available and do a thorough inspection and risk assessment of your industrial site. We can also supply trained SIA licensed security guards to monitor your CCTV system, and act quickly and efficiently should the CCTV pick up any suspicious behaviour.
Install clear, bold signage of your contracted security company
Clear and cleverly placed signage at your site entrances, exits, along your perimeters and on the outside of your buildings will alert everyone to the fact you’ve invested in security personnel. This acts as a brilliant deterrent, especially if people research the security company and see what an excellent reputation they have. It’s for this reason we ensure our mobile patrols, detailed below, have clearly branded vehicles.
We’ve worked hard to build a respected reputation, showing our security guards as highly effective, and professional individuals. Having a reputation like that should further deter potential criminals at your industrial site.
We can provide mobile patrols or manned guarding
Finally, there’s mobile patrols and manned guarding. Manned guarding is a highly effective way of eliminating criminal activity at your industrial estate, making it one of the most proactive security measures that you can take against crime. It is a security service that involves placing security guards at your premises, usually out of hours (but sometimes when staff are still present).
The manned guarding security service that Carter Security offers is much more than a security patrol of your business premises. Our security guards are all trained to Security Industry Authority (SIA) standards and are fitted with body cameras for audible and CCTV footage, ensuring you have a professional security officer managing your property at all times. We also never subcontract staff, ensuring that all of our security officers are interviewed and vetted by our senior management.
For more information on how we can provide quality security at your industrial site, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with a member of our team. We look forward to hearing from you.
If you’re looking to further your career within the security industry, please check on our website or email us an up-to-date copy of your C.V. We never subcontract, we invest in training, and we work hard to support our staff. You will need to hold a valid SIA license before applying.
