The UK Security team have been working with colleagues from our Rail Head sites and Op Excellence to produce and fine-tune a security related audit template within CheckProof.

Whether it’s a Railhead, Readymix plant, quarry or even an office block, the template is intended to be easily adapted to sites of varying size and purpose and should be readily adaptable across the entire UK estate.

Those already familiar with the benefits of CheckProof will recognise the advantages of a standardised, ‘one-stop-shop’ for detailed and reliable auditing purposes. The Site Security template is intended to lead Site Managers through a standardised audit that encourages them to consider and report upon all aspects of site security.

From the condition of perimeter gates and fences, the operation of CCTV right through to door and window locks and the debriefing of exiting personnel, the template provides for all security aspects. Adoptees are requested to conduct one audit every 12 months, raising deviations where measures fall short of preferred standards thus enabling an auditable and actionable record of security arrangements.

This initiative is already live at Rail Head sites and will be launched across quarries and Readymix plants with effect from 1^st November 2023. Site Managers are encouraged to adopt this scheme as early as possible and consult with the UK Security team with any security related issues the audit process identifies.

Sound workplace security is a team game! Our security is in your hands.
