Construction Security
Securing construction sites is a critical concern due to the high risk of theft, vandalism, and trespassing. Each year, the construction industry in the UK experiences over 6,000 break-ins, leading to nearly £1 billion in losses. Effective security measures are essential not only to prevent the loss of valuable tools, machinery, and materials but also to ensure the safety of workers and the public.
Our extensive experience in construction site security enables us to provide a range of professional preventative measures. These include:
- Temporary, Mobile CCTV Towers with Remote Monitoring: These towers are strategically placed around the site to provide 24/7 surveillance, ensuring any suspicious activity is detected and responded to immediately.
- Site Access Control: Implementing robust access control systems helps monitor and regulate who enters and exits the site, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
- Guarding: Our trained security personnel provide a physical presence on-site, deterring criminal activity through regular patrols and immediate response to incidents.
- Concrete Barriers: These barriers prevent unauthorized vehicle access and help secure the perimeter of the construction site.
By deploying these security solutions, we aim to deter criminal activities effectively and protect your site and its valuable assets. This not only helps avoid delays to your project but also mitigates significant financial losses for scheme promoters and contractors. Securing your construction site is of the utmost importance, and our tailored security measures are designed to provide you with peace of mind, ensuring your site always remains safe and secure.
Banksman Duties
A banksman plays a crucial role in ensuring the safe movement of vehicles and heavy machinery. Here are some key points about their responsibilities and the importance of their role:
- Supervising Vehicle Movements: A banksman oversees and directs the movements of large vehicles and machinery within a work site. This includes guiding them during manoeuvres such as reversing, loading, and unloading.
- Risk Reduction: The primary goal of a banksman is to minimize the risk of accidents involving vehicles and machinery. They ensure that manoeuvres are carried out safely and do not endanger the driver, other workers, or bystanders.
- Communication: Banksman typically use a system of hand signals or radio communication to direct operators of vehicles and machinery. This communication is critical in environments where visibility might be limited, or noise levels are high.
- Training and Standards: Banksman training often includes learning standardized hand signals as per guidelines such as those provided by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). This ensures consistency and safety across different sites and operators.
- Accident Prevention: Many accidents involving workplace transport can be avoided through proper training, clear communication, and adherence to safety protocols. The banksman’s role is essential in implementing these measures effectively.
- Employer Responsibilities: Employers have a duty to provide adequate training for banksman roles and to ensure that safety procedures are always followed. This includes conducting risk assessments, providing necessary equipment (like radios or high-visibility clothing), and maintaining clear operational guidelines.
In summary, the banksman plays a critical role in ensuring the safe operation of vehicles and machinery on site. Their responsibilities include risk management, communication, and accident prevention through effective guidance and adherence to safety protocols.
