Construction Jobsite Safety and Security Toolkit
The security experts at WCCTV have over 20 years of experience protecting remote and temporary jobsites. We protect sites nationwide for some of the most prestigious and highest-profile companies.
When the team isn't busy installing our market-leading mobile security cameras and solar surveillance trailers, they channel their vast experience into creating a range of best practice guides that help organizations boost security and worker safety.
The best guides have been compiled below as free downloads to assist construction sites of any size or scale.
Security Resources:
Improving security at construction jobsites is what we do! Below are our favorite resources that help guide construction companies on how to protect their assets.
A Comprehensive Guide to Construction Site Security
Theft from construction sites is so widespread that the National Equipment Register (NER) and National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) estimate that the industry loses between $300m and $1b every year.
We have created the Complete Guide to Construction Site Security in response to these shocking statistics. The guide is designed to give site managers a step-by-step process for securing construction job sites, from ground-breaking to client handover.
The information in this guide can help construction companies reduce losses attributed to crime, whether monetary losses from vandalism or equipment theft or the costs of project delays.
The Ultimate Site Security Checklist
With the price of construction materials continually rising and many of these items easy to resell, your job sites are a prime target for organized and opportunist theft.
We know that Video Surveillance Cameras are the most effective way of securing your sites, but there are many other ways to tighten your security.
Our Ultimate Construction Job Site Security Checklist highlights the most crucial security aspects you need to cover to close the gaps in your security processes.
The checklist is embedded below and available to download as a PDF to print and/or share with your team.
Physical Security Risk Assessment Template
The first and most crucial part of any physical security response is undertaking a risk assessment.
Performing a risk assessment on your sites will help identify the types of threats you will face, the likelihood of an incident, and the impact of a security breach on your business.
We know that many construction project managers will not have vast experience performing a security risk assessment, so we have created our free-to-download template to get you started.
The template can be adapted and edited to match your site, and our team is on hand to guide you on how best to secure your premises.
Safety Resources:
Although we are primarily a security-orientated company, we have seen multiple examples of how our cameras can enhance worker safety across job sites. Moreover, every day, we send our Service Techs to construction sites, so we know a thing or two about what it takes to be safe in these environments.
How Safe is Your Job Site?
Construction sites remain one of the most dangerous working environments, with thousands of injuries occurring in construction zones each year. Sadly, many of these accidents could have been avoided.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 1,102 fatal injuries in the construction industry in 2019, 20% of all workplace fatalities in the US. Considering that only 6% of the US labor force works in construction, this is a highly disproportionate number of fatalities.
How to Control Site Safety
Everyone is responsible for worker and contractor safety, but the company owners and site managers are ultimately liable.
Ensuring a safe working environment begins with controlling and mitigating health and safety risks, promoting a culture of safety, and communicating your site rules clearly and consistently.
WCCTV's guide to controlling site safety focuses on practical ways to improve site safety, reduce injuries, and improve communication across your worksites.
Our background experience comes from working daily on construction sites, installing, and maintaining surveillance cameras for the last 21 years.

How Mobile Surveillance Cameras Boost Site Safety
Video surveillance cameras, such as those supplied by WCCTV, are typically known for their benefits in improving construction site security.

This overview can help identify hazards in real-time, review working practices, monitor site access, and ensure all regulations are followed.
