Our temporary fencing solutions are particularly useful for protecting these sites, although you may wish to opt for something more permanent if you are in charge of the security for a large, long-term construction project. Our supplementary security solutions (including CCTV and hostile vehicle mitigation) can also be deployed on construction sites in a cost-effective and space-efficient way that won\u2019t obstruct the work crew or delay the project.<\/p>\n<p>But why is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/construction-site-security-products\/\" title=\"Common construction site security errors to avoid\">construction site security<\/a> so important? That\u2019s a valid question; after all, who wants to break into a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/construction-site-fencing\/building-site-fencing\/\" title=\"Building Site Fencing\">building or site<\/a> that hasn\u2019t even been finished yet? There are actually several reasons that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/securing-restricted-areas\/\" title=\"Securing restricted areas while keeping your site accessible\">securing your construction site<\/a> with perimeter fencing is often vital.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Accidental intrusion<\/h3>\n<p>Protecting the public is one of the most important functions that construction <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/industrial-site-fences\/\" title=\"3 things to look for in industrial site fences\">site fencing<\/a> fulfils. Most people wouldn\u2019t knowingly trespass onto a dangerous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/construction-site-security-risks\/\" title=\"What potential security risks should construction sites focus on?\">construction site<\/a>, but they might wander onto one accidentally, especially if they\u2019re in a hurry to get somewhere else. If your construction site is in a heavily-populated area, it\u2019s <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/leisure-centre-fencing\/\" title=\"Blaydon Leisure Centre undergoes vital fencing and pitch extensions\">vital that you fence<\/a> it off to prevent people walking across it en-route to their destinations. Remember that people don\u2019t always look at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/security-fence-on-a-construction-site\/\" title=\"Importance of a security fence on a construction site\">construction site<\/a> that hasn\u2019t been fenced-off and see all the hazards it poses. Often, they look it at and simply see a shortcut.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Construction equipment theft<\/h3>\n<p>The building or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/construction-sites\/\" title=\"Importance of mesh fencing on construction sites\">site under construction<\/a> isn\u2019t likely to become a target for thieves and vandals until it\u2019s finished. However, the on-site construction equipment may be targeted instead. Construction equipment and materials are precious and can be very tempting for criminals who have the means to <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/fencing-for-transport\/\"  title=\"transport\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">transport<\/a> them off your site. Don\u2019t let this happen &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/asset-protection-fencing\/\" title=\"Nuclear resurgence demands secure asset protection\">protect your site with security<\/a> fencing.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Legal cover<\/h3>\n<p>If your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/security-fencing-for-business\/\" title=\"How to choose the right security fencing for your business\">security site isn\u2019t fenced<\/a> off, someone may enter it and injure themselves. Regardless of their reasons for entering the site, you could be held legally responsible for their injuries because you failed to take the necessary steps to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/compact-security\/\" title=\"Keeping smaller sites and premises safe with compact security measures\">keep people off the site<\/a>. Setting up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/custom-security-fencing\/\" title=\"3 design ideas to make custom security fencing stand out\">security fencing<\/a> eliminates this risk. Even if someone makes it past the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/fencing-for-pope\/\" title=\"Central Park fenced off for visit of the Pope\">fencing<\/a> (highly unlikely) and is injured on your site, you will have still taken reasonable steps to prevent this outcome. Consequently, you won\u2019t be held legally responsible.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re in charge of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/construction-site-fencing\/\">construction site<\/a>, don\u2019t hesitate: invest in security fencing today and contact <a data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/\">Zaun<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re pleased to say that many of the security fencing solutions we sell here at Zaun can be used on construction sites.
