🔥🚧 THE SITE CLOSES AT 5 PM. THE FIRE RISKS DON’T.
When the last contractor leaves and the gates are locked, construction sites can still face serious fire hazards.
Temporary electrical supplies, leftover combustible materials, recent hot work and unauthorised access can all create risks long after working hours.
🛡️ SO WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN BEFORE THE NIGHT SHIFT BEGINS?
✅ Clear handover between site management and security teams.
✅ Safe patrol routes and awareness of potential hazards.
✅ Secure fencing, gates and access points.
✅ Clear emergency procedures and reliable communication.
At KWS Security, our SIA-licensed security officers and professional K9 dog handlers support construction sites with visible security presence, out-of-hours patrols and incident reporting.
Good preparation during the day helps security teams respond effectively at night.
