Proper storage, consistent procedures and monitoring are important to prevent equipment theft. Construction managers should ensure that vehicles used on-site for construction are placed in a secure location and keys are taken out of the vehicles when not in use, as well as locking small items inside secure containers. It can be beneficial to mark high value equipment with identification numbers to aid identification in the event it is stolen. Managers should also put camera surveillance systems in place near equipment storage areas and entry points when choosing how to secure the construction site. Having an equipment register with serial numbers, photos and purchase information can aid in identification and reporting. Employees should be instructed in closing procedures and to promptly report suspicious behavior. For larger projects, additional security measures such as security guards and access-control systems can be added to provide extra protection. Having routine inventory checks in place enables the early detection of missing inventory before it becomes a larger problem. With a few straightforward measures, it's possible to lower theft risks and boost accountability during the construction project.
