Warehouse and Supply Chain Security

We have extensive experience in Warehouse and Distribution Center security.   Warehouses present a very unique set of hurdles whether there is just one or a disparate number of large complexes.  Here, size does not matter, only the approach to the environment matters.

 We ensure you have the "best for business" approach to satisfy your needs.  We will provide actionable, cost effective recommendations and can follow the process through from the creation of an RFP to monitoring installation of equipment.  Mr. Murphy was recently interviewed by the Warehouse Education and Research Council (www.werc.org) for "Securing the Warehouse".

 Aspects of your security program that should be regularly reviewed:

  • Lighting:  Do you have the recommended lumens?
  • Does your alarm have a cellular back up?
  • Perimeter physical security:  What considerations are there for fencing and outer doors/windows?
  • Access control and policies:  Who manages your access control?  How often is it reviewed for accuracy?
  • Employee Parking:  How close do they park to docks and dumpster?
  • Review of security related equipment:  How old is that VCR?  Planning on going digital?
  • Review of periodic auditing efforts:  Do you have a self audit program?
  • Review of physical layout of internal warehouse to include distribution of CCTV, protection of sensitive cargo, and cross docking methods:  When was the last time the layout was reviewed to ensure protection needs have not changed?
  • Protection of cargo in transit:  Are you using RFID, GPS, special seals?
  • Employee Theft Policies.  Also read Prosecuting Employee Theft and the Employee Theft Guide

Warehousing is a unique challenge in and of itself.  The protection of goods and personnel requires a special skill set that we can provide where few can.  Click E-mail LPT Security Consulting to get contact us regarding your needs.
