Introduction Proper site security arrangements are necessary to protect Companys and clients property. Security very much relates to safety and has a degree of overlap with safety.On constructi
2、on projects within the fence of an existing plant, usually the clients security and guard arrangements will be applicable also to the construction of the new facilities.However, security relative to Companys site buildings and the documentation contained there-in on any project requires proper atten
3、tion and measures.This section is to be considered a guide to setting up a security program for construction projects where there are no existing facilities and, thus, own all encompassing security arrangements have to be made by Company.2. Responsibility As for safety, the ultimate responsibility f
4、or security on site rests with the Project Construction Manager.The organizational structure of the Company site team, project size and clients requirements/involvement relative to security will determine who in the site organization will handle the day to day security matters. Generally, the Compan

7、 expected, replacements during vacations and illnesses can be obtained, standard guard/security instructions will be available. Moreover the specialized firm processes all necessary permits/licences and registrations (to be checked!) as maybe required by authorities. When making arrangements for gua

Patrols, punchclocks, dogs, etc. 3.1.1 Guard DutiesThe duties of the guard(s) usually consist of the

Site Security Plan Prior to the start of field activities a site security plan as part of the site safety plan must be developed. The following is an indicative listing of items that should be considered, and addressed as req
28、uired, in the development of the security plan: Meeting with client to discuss security and establish requirements. Perimeter fencing arrangements. Number, location and type of entrance gates and parking areas. Establishment of a guard service and determination of coverage (day, night, week-ends, et
