A simple web search at http://www.mylocalcrime.com.  Type in the site address and see what has occured in the area, or even at your site.  If there appears to be recent crime activity that site or in the vicinity, it appears working at the site poses additional security risk to you and your subs, or you don’t feel comfortable interprating the data, please contact Ron Bailey or Dan Dowdy and we will coordinate a site security review with our security professional.

One of the technicians entered the storage area from the west and noticed an unknown person holding the safety bag. The technician yelled at the person from a distance and the unknown person immediately dropped the safety bag and left the area through the southern gate. The technician initially handled the situation correctly by not directly confronting the unknown person and the result of yelling resulted in no theft occurring.

The workforce initiated Stop Work to discuss the situation and the southern gate was locked. The workforce vehicles were moved to locations within direct sight of the work area (onto the north side of the Site and inside the gated area).

LESSON

In a theft situation, there is no need to confront the perpetrator and put your own personal safety in jeopardy. An indirect confrontation like a yell is the appropriate approach and if a theft occurs, contact the police department listed in your site-specific HASP.
