Construction sites are potentially dangerous places due to the constant movement of bulky or heavy materials, but the health and safety risks to contractors and members of the public are only part of the problem facing site managers. Crime, too, is a continual plague: each year in the UK, approximately £800m of losses are experienced by construction firms as a result of theft, vandalism, arson, and other crimes. The presence of high-value equipment and half-finished buildings is simply too much of a temptation for many criminals, making building sites a common target.
