As demand for data centers grows, construction sites are becoming increasingly attractive targets for thieves. A recent case involved $1.3 million in stolen data center supplies, including hundreds of thousands of dollars in copper wire.

For contractors, incidents like this are a reminder that job site security needs to be part of the risk management plan from day one. Proactive controls can help deter theft, protect high-value materials and equipment, and reduce the potential for costly project disruptions.

Here are three steps your construction team can take today to protect your jobsite:

➡️ Limit access to high-value materials by using secured storage and controlled delivery schedules.
➡️ Implement layered site security such as lighting, fencing, cameras, alarms.
➡️ Clearly document inventory to make it easier to notice when/if anything goes missing.

See what’s driving this emerging construction risk and why security planning should be part of the jobsite conversation, then get in touch with your Central loss control agent for custom tips on protecting your construction business from theft.
