- Electronic Surveillance, Access Control and Alarm Systems
- Risk Management
A study by The Australian Institute of Criminology, Theft and vandalism at residential building sites in Australia, found that 39% of residential builders had suffered from vandalism or theft on more than one occasion in the year of the survey. The most frequently stolen items were materials (61%) and handheld tools (46%) with 47% of residential builders who had experienced theft not having had any security measures in place at the time of the incident.
The report also found that the risk of theft and vandalism generally rose with increasing numbers of staff, the annual turnover, and if the site was located in an urban area.
Commercial and Industrial construction sites would face higher exposure to these risk categories.
This is further reinforced by the 2019 convictions of contractors working on the Victorian Sky Rail Project where falsified timesheet entries (a practice known as ghosting) and copper theft resulted in a loss of $475,000 to the Project.

Gippsafe 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, Gippsafe Security offer virtual patrol services to our construction clientele. A virtual patrol involves a Gippsafe 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.
Gippsafe 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 Gippsafe 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.
Gippsafe 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.
