Security officers are tasked with securing the premises and personnel by staying on patrol, monitoring surveillance equipment, performing building inspections, guarding entry points, and verifying visitors.
Theft of construction equipment and machinery costs the construction industry over £800 million a year. That’s more than petty theft.
