Does your company own, rent, or lease a warehouse? If so, you are vested in protecting your property and the goods located within. Forming a comprehensive warehouse security plan plays an instrumental role in keeping your company safe from wrongdoing. Regardless of the size of your warehouse, Integrated Security Consultants helps create comprehensive strategies that drastically reduce the risk of crime in the Tampa Bay area.
Warehouse Security
While all types of industries need warehousing, it’s most common with companies that sell goods and services. For example, e-commerce giant Amazon has over 1,000 fulfillment centers in the United States. Considering that the U.S. has over one million warehouses and storage buildings, it’s easy to see how much space is dedicated to warehousing nationwide.
You may feel overwhelmed by all of your security options and unsure how to protect your warehouse best. This post will examine common elements of warehouse security systems and how they might best serve you.
Access Control Systems: Keycard entry and biometric access control systems are ideal tools for warehouse business owners. This technology makes it easy to control who has access to your warehouse and can even be used for time-tracking purposes. You won’t have to worry about unauthorized people on the premises with the right access control system.
CCTV Cameras: Cameras are one of the simplest ways to deter potential thieves and burglars. Studies have shown that 60% of thieves avoid homes and properties with security cameras. While a camera can’t prevent a crime from occurring, it can provide valuable evidence after the fact that helps law enforcement find the perpetrators.
Fire Alarms: Criminals aren’t the only threat to your business. Data from the National Fire Protection Association shows that fire damage costs warehouse owners $155 million annually. Having a comprehensive fire safety plan that your staff is familiar with can help save people and property during a fire.
