Large facilities such as warehousing and manufacturing facilities have a similar security profile and similar considerations where security is concerned. Due to the size of these facilities, effective security precautions are an investment that should be carefully considered — the scale of these facilities and typically large inventory means that losses can occur on a larger scale, resulting in serious financial harm.

Getting It Right the First Time

The least expensive security systems aren't likely to provide the value your business needs, and the most expensive program may cause more confusion than necessary if it isn't suited to your circumstances. It's important to discuss your security needs with a professional before making a decision about whether to implement surveillance, audio features, digital tracking, or in-person security guards.

Your security professional will want to know about the current security measures in place. Be ready to speak about the facility's size, location, materials handled, and employee numbers. If possible, consult in person to allow for an informed determination about your facility's potential points of failure.

Internal Theft

Internal theft is often responsible for financial and inventory loss in warehousing and manufacturing environments, and it can be very difficult to identify a suspect without a security program that includes video surveillance. A dedicated security guard can monitor your video surveillance and detain a thief — or provide CPR in a medical emergency — in a matter of minutes, before law enforcement arrives.

Staff Safety

Employees who work through the night are often uncomfortable walking through a dark parking lot to reach their vehicles. Your security guard is committed to the safety of your staff and will provide escort services as needed.

What You Can Do

While considering changes to your security program, business owners can deter criminals by ensuring all facility areas are well-lit — including parking lots, corridors, stairwells, and entry/exit points. Ensure landscaping is maintained with no shrubs to hide behind. Control employee access to high-value areas using digital access cards and fobs. Post signage at each entry point communicating that the area is being monitored, and back it up with a physical camera.
