MANPOWER SITE PERFORMACE/SECURITY POLICY

Construction sites are easy targets for the opportunist thief; the high value of plant and equipment can
lead to quick and easy profit for the successful thief. Depending on locality, each site will have its own
issues of concern. Construction sites are subject to a number of threats, against which security should
be applied by the site operator. These include theft, vandalism and deliberate damage to company
equipment. Manpower performance also dictates the output of the project.

 SCOPE
- These guidelines are designed to provide site managers and operators with an overview of
the common considerations of risk assessments and security measures to be taken into
account on construction sites. It is not intended to be a detailed manual, but should be used
to help frame thinking about security and to outline the process to follow in preparing risk
assessments and the necessary mitigation measures to be taken.

 TERMS AND DEFINITIONS


o Event - Occurrence or a change in a particular set of circumstances
o Guard Force - The term guard force in this document refers to the people with the
responsibility for protecting the site. On a larger site this may be a permanent
contingent of guards.
o Hazard - An event with negative consequences, brought about through natural,
environmental or non-malicious human intent (e.g. flooding).
o Risk - A threat or hazard assessed for likelihood and impact.
o Threat - An event with negative consequences, brought about through malicious human
intent.
 RISK ANALYSIS

Risk Score Categorization Notes


0-1 White No significant risk
2-4 Green Low risk
5-10 yellow Medium risk – should be
mitigated
10 + Red High risk – must be mitigated

 TYPICAL Threats for construction site


o Material Pilferage
o Absenteeism
o Laziness/Tardiness
o Poor workmanship
o Disrespect to authority (Foreman, Site Supervisor)
o Being Late
o Refusal to Instruction during work hours
o Etc.…,
 MITIGATION
- Once raw risks are assessed and categorized in order of severity in the raw risk register,
mitigation should be applied. Broadly, mitigation may take three forms:
o Ignore / Accept
o Export / Transfer
o Address

Ignoring - a risk is sometimes appropriate, where the cost (in terms of financial or
resource exposure) of any mitigation exceeds the impact of the event which defines the
risk. Risks should only be ignored, however, after careful analysis of mitigation cost and
impact. Ignoring a risk means that no action is taken to counter it but does not mean it
is forgotten

Exporting - a risk can be performed through insurance or contracting of a third party to


deliver mitigation. While this is entirely sensible, for example, where this can be done
for the expenditure of less resource than if directly mitigated by the operator or
manager, it is important to remember that this does not export responsibility for, or
ownership of, the risk, but merely for its management. This presents a risk in itself, in
that management of the risk falls mainly outside of the control of the operator or
manager.

Addressing - a risk is the application of mitigation measures directly by the operator or


manager. Generally, this will involve the application of people, processes or technology
to an issue to reduce the impact or the likelihood (or, ideally, both) of a risk, in order to
bring its rating down to below the operator or manager’s risk appetite. This document
necessarily concentrates on direct addressing of the risk.

 MITIGATION STRATEGIES
A. DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS
a. 1st offense – verbal warning
b. 2nd offense – written warning
c. 3rd offense – 3 days suspension without pay
d. 4th offense – termination
