How to Prevent Jobsite Theft: 10 Practical Tips

Jobsite theft costs contractors time, money and schedule. Most of it happens after hours when nobody is around. These steps make your site a harder target.

  • Lock up tools every night. Use job boxes or a locked container, not the truck bed.
  • Keep high-value materials out of sight. Deliver copper, wire and appliances as close to install as possible.
  • Fence and gate the site and keep gates locked after hours.
  • Light the site. Dark sites invite trespassers.
  • Mark your equipment with your company name and record serial numbers.
  • Keep an inventory so you know quickly when something is missing.
  • Limit keys and access codes and change them when crews change.
  • Post signs that the site is under video surveillance.
  • Put up visible cameras. A solar camera trailer works even before site power is in.
  • Add live monitoring so someone warns intruders in real time and calls police or your guard when needed.
