The construction industry is booming. There is construction happening almost
everywhere in India. Whilst construction and project management is the main focus,
security of material and personnel is an equally important aspect that supports and
enables timely completion of construction projects.
The risks on a construction site vary - from unauthorised access, material thefts
and pilferages, construction material movements in or out, safety of personnel
working on the site, day to day security and discipline issues, and untoward
incidents management.
Construction site security services are a lot more important than many people would
realise. Some avoidable incidents on the construction site can put the whole project
to a grinding halt. Security is thus needed in form of supervised perimeter patrols,
material and human loss prevention, monitoring construction equipment, an efficient
response mechanism, site traffic control arrangements, workers access control, and a
lot more.
It is necessary to have a professional, custom-built security organisation in place
to enable the construction and project activity to run as planned. Manksa considers
building site security in Delhi to be a specialised task, which needs to work under
direct control of Project Manager. Every construction site has its unique nuances
and we need to customise the security matrix that serves and meets those specific
needs.
The security establishment process kicks off with a joint meeting and briefing with
Project Manager and Site Manager at the premises. In this meeting, we agree on the
probable risks, security arrangements to mitigate those risks and develop
site-specific security apparatus that delivers efficiently. We would then come up
with an integrated security plan and procedures. This would include a manpower plan,
electronic surveillance plan, supervision and monitoring, perimeter patrols, daily
standard procedures, emergency response plan, escalation matrix etc. Maybe you would
need an armed construction security guard (if there were precious stores) or a
female guard (if there are female workers onsite).
Once we sign off the Integrated Security Plan, we pick the right man for the right
job. Some are good at controlling traffic, others may suit working as construction
site security guards better. And then begins onsite training for the
premises-specific procedures, emergencies, and operations. Previous experience will
only help so much on a new site - so they all need to refreshed as per new
requirements of a site.
