Rapid Response
Our response teams are hugely experienced in handling on-site threats effectively.
Securing plant, equipment and materials on traffic infrastructure and highways projects can be a real headache. Whilst sites will make use of locked storage compounds for the most valuable items, the nature of the work means that large, often remote areas, will be unfenced with open access to intruders.
Security issues are compounded by the regular need to shift the focus of the project from one location to another. To date, the solution has been to employ manned guarding, but the large distances and economic considerations mean that serious risks remains.
Potential Risks
Stationary Vehicles | Fly-tipping | Workforce in the Road | Accidents | Thefts
In the UK, being struck by a moving vehicle is the third most common cause of fatal injuries in the workplace according to a recent report from Health & Safety Executive.
Risk Mitigation
VPS are temporary security experts who offer risk assessment and solutions to suit the needs of highways project managers.
Broken down or stranded vehicles can cause traffic issues or damage to barriers and vehicles.
Illegal waste disposal along the side of the highway or in laybys.
Having employees on the highway can be extremely perilous with high-speed traffic passing nearby.
It is critical that motorway accidents are reported and responded to as soon as possible.
A roadside construction site can be a target for thieves and vandals with materials and equipment at risk.
VPS Incursion System, a road traffic worker alert system, alerts road workers to the danger of approaching vehicles through a wireless-linked HD camera system mounted on a self-powered Smart Tower. The CCTV system also includes long-distance thermal imaging, backed by a mobile, rapid response guarding service.
Temporary signage and instruction to drivers and can be integrated with other intelligent traffic solutions.
And other activation response monitoring services are easily deployed for temporary security on highways work.
