Manufacturing and industry

Security here protects production as much as property: a stolen part, a fire or an unrecorded lorry can stop a line. It usually means controlling gates and loading bays, checking vehicles, and protecting stock and equipment through every shift.

Typical risks

• Theft of stock, materials and finished goods, often at the gate or the loading bay
• Vehicles and contractors coming and going unchecked
• Fire in stores of fuel, chemicals or materials
• Long perimeters that are hard to watch at night
• Loss of designs, formulas and processes

How we protect it

• Officers at gates and loading bays, checking every vehicle in and out
• Records of visitors, contractors and deliveries
• Patrols of perimeters and stores, day and night
• Cameras and alarms on stores and boundaries, watched by control-room operators
• Fire equipment, inspections and drills for staff

Services often combined

• Manned guarding: gates, loading bays and shift changes
• CCTV controllers: stores and perimeters watched around the clock
• Fire safety: equipment, inspections and drills
• Investigations: when stock goes missing
• Counter-espionage and training: protecting processes and designs
