Trespassers gaining access to a construction site can cause several significant issues for the companies responsible for the jobsite. Construction sites themselves are inherently dangerous environments, with heavy machinery, unfinished structures, and other risk factors. Trespassers entering these sites without proper knowledge and protective equipment put themselves at risk for accidents, injuries, and even death.
The legal implications and liability risks for property owners and construction companies are also a major concern. If a trespasser is injured on site, there’s a potential for legal action, financial impacts, and increased insurance costs.
Legal liability risks and the potential for accidents and injuries aren’t the only concerns- there’s also the significant risk of theft and vandalism that are a constant issues for construction companies and contractors. Theft of materials, theft of equipment, theft of tools- all of these present costs of their own that can cause major damage to the budget and timelines for a project.
At 6:45 p.m., Stealth security professionals monitoring a California construction site spotted a female intruder attempting to enter the property. A closer look at the surveillance revealed that she was not alone- a male was seen on the property as well. Security operators immediately activated audible onsite warnings to deter the trespassing pair, and local law enforcement dispatch was contacted and given the details of the criminal activity in progress.
Shortly after the call to police dispatch was placed, officers could be seen arriving at the property and making contact with both subjects, thanks to the descriptions of the pair and their location on site provided by Stealth security operators. The couple was arrested and removed from the property in police custody.
