REDUCING CONSTRUCTION SITE BREAK-INS
DAMIEN MARTIN
SECURE THE SITE

Safety on construction sites is paramount during the workday, and after hours, security is just as important. By their nature, construction sites have vulnerabilities. They’re open-air; anyone passing by can see what’s lying about. There are a lot of valuable materials and machinery, and not all of them can be stored away for the night. Construction site break-ins are a major headache. They cost money in lost items. They cost time, which can cost even more money. And they can cause insurance rates to skyrocket. Construction site break-ins cost companies hundreds of millions of dollars every year, but there are steps to take that can limit the damage.

MATERIALS

Thieves steal as much as $1 billion worth of copper every year, and construction sites are a major target. It’s a valuable material, and when thieves rip out copper wire that’s already been hung in buildings, they also undo a great deal of hard work that has to be made up. The last couple of years have seen huge spikes in lumber prices, contributing to a rash of construction site break-ins since thieves know they can find valuable materials lying around.
