Industrial & Warehouse Security

Industrial security is about more than keeping intruders out. The losses we help clients address usually involve:

• goods leaving on outgoing trucks without matching paperwork;
• theft of copper cable, scrap metal, fuel, batteries and tools;
• breaches through long or poorly lit fence lines and adjoining properties;
• staff or contractors removing items at shift change;
• hijacking risk to vehicles and drivers arriving or leaving the site.

Each risk calls for a different control, so we assess the whole operation before recommending officer numbers.

The main gate is your control point for everything that enters and leaves. Our officers can be briefed to:

• log incoming and outgoing vehicles, drivers and seal numbers;
• check loads against delivery notes or gate passes where your procedure requires it;
• manage contractor and visitor access with induction and sign-in;
• search staff according to your written search policy at shift change.

This work overlaps with our loss control service, which also looks at receiving and dispatch procedures inside the warehouse.

Large sites need people moving, not just standing at the gate. Patrol officers cover fence lines, yards and storage areas on varying routes, recording checkpoints where a monitoring system is installed. Depending on the risk, officers may be armed or unarmed.

Electronic layers make patrols far more effective: electric fencing on boundaries, beams in open yards, CCTV over gates and high-value storage, and alarm monitoring with dispatch for after-hours activations.

Security that slows down dispatch will be bypassed. During the assessment we spend time understanding your shifts, delivery windows, peak periods and health and safety rules, so procedures protect the site without holding up trucks.

Officers are PSIRA-registered, screened and briefed on your site rules, including PPE and restricted zones. Supervisors visit at different times and report to your operations or plant manager. Contracts are usually ongoing, with additional officers available for peak periods, shutdowns or stock-takes, confirmed after assessment.
