Any site with its own entry rules, inductions or permits is planned with the site operator before officers start.
Building sites, refurbishments and civil works across Falkirk district hold plant and materials that need protecting day and night. Our construction site security here runs the same way as our construction site security in Edinburgh. Before the first shift we walk the site with you to check the boundary, entry and exit points, and where plant and materials are kept.
Static guards can cover the site through the day, overnight or both. Patrols visit at varied times to check the boundary and lock up. Each visit is time-stamped and written up in a report every shift, and depending on the package you can also get hourly walkthrough videos and WhatsApp updates. Standard kit for our site officers is hi-vis, a hard hat, steel toe boots and gloves. For sites closed over the festive period, see Christmas closure security.
Every site is different. Tell us about yours and we will send a tailored quotation and plan.

Offices across the district can use front of house, reception and access control officers through our commercial security service.
Gala organisers in Falkirk district need staffing and a security plan agreed before the day. On Guard Security has secured Grangemouth Gala Weekend.
