One of the issues with missing supplies is that it’s easy enough for whoever took them to simply say that they own them. Take steps to make your most important and expensive tools easily identifiable. This could mean labeling your equipment or even putting a tracking device on it. If you’re going to label your supplies, try to attach the label to a part that can’t be removed.
When you get your construction supplies in Riverside CA, write down all serial numbers and / or pins. Of course not all equipment will have this information, but for those that do, be sure to not only write them down but take photos of these numbers to further prove ownership if it becomes necessary.
When you’re stopping construction for the day or weekend, put your smaller, easier to steal pieces of equipment in the middle of the site and park your bigger pieces of equipment in a circle facing these smaller items. This makes it much more difficult to remove the smaller pieces of equipment.
If your construction site is well lit, it will be much less likely to be robbed. Why? It’s simple: It’s easier for thieves to work under the cover of dark. Whether you need motion lights, cameras, a light tower, or other equipment to protect your construction supplies in Riverside CA, Grove Hardware can help.
There are a wide range of supplies and equipment that now can be equipped with anti-theft technology. For example, the Bluetooth batteries from DeWalt allow you to essentially create an invisible fence and if the batteries are taken out of that area, they won’t work. Heavy equipment can come with a fob that only allows it to start if that fob is around. Feel free to reach out to Grove Hardware for help if you’re looking for additional ways to secure your job site.
The moment you realize there’s been theft, report it to the police. Give them as much information as you can. If there’s a way to trace what was stolen, then do that. Get in touch with your insurance company right away and then report everything to the National Equipment Registry.
These are just six of the ways our customers work to keep their job sites safe and secure. Stop by Grove Hardware on weekdays as early as 6 AM to get expert advice on securing your own site.
