Vehicle movements, loading areas and unusual hours create different risks.
Vehicle movements, loading areas, large sites and unusual working hours create different risks from an ordinary office. Guarding and patrol plans should reflect how the site actually operates.
Typical security problems.
- Theft from loading areas during busy periods
- Unauthorised vehicles entering the yard
- Driver access not properly controlled
- Stock loss through unmonitored exits
- Large perimeters that are hard to monitor
- Shift changes creating gaps in cover
- Out-of-hours break-ins targeting high-value stock
What guarding can cover.
- Gatehouse and vehicle access control
- Yard and loading area management
- Perimeter patrols during shifts
- Driver sign-in and access management
- Out-of-hours guarding presence
- Stock area checks
Where patrols may make sense.
- Out-of-hours perimeter checks across large sites
- Randomised visits when the site is closed
- Checking that roller doors, gates and yards are secure
