Gippssafe’s Security Officers’ primary objectives are to monitor site access, to detect and deter criminal behavior, and assist in ensuring a safe and secure environment for our client, their workers/contractors, and the public.
Gippssafe Security’s Mobile Patrol Services are used to detect and deter criminal activity and respond to alarm activations after hours.
With the rapid evolution of electronic surveillance systems, Gippssafe Security offer virtual patrol services to our construction clientele. A virtual patrol involves a Gippssafe Security Operator remotely accessing our client’s surveillance system and monitoring the site for criminal or maintenance concerns.
Our Operators can perform a virtual walk through of the site in accordance with a schedule, or as the result of an alarm, allowing for greater visibility of the site, assisting to contribute to our client’s environmental objectives, whilst delivering real cost savings.
Gippssafe Security can install, maintain, or upgrade Electronic Surveillance, Access Control and Alarm Systems. These systems are cost effective networks of integrated devices that work to manage and monitor access to a specific area(s) or buildings.
This field is enjoying a rapid advancement in technology, allowing Gippssafe to offer solar powered CCTV solutions to temporary or permanent sites. This allows greater flexibility in unit placement and greatly increases the area of possible coverage, while drastically reducing the cost of cabling.
Gippssafe Security offer Security Risk Management services to our construction clients. This is a process that involves our qualified risk managers working with our construction clients to continually identify and map security threats, implement strategies, and allocate the necessary resources to mitigate or remove the threat.
