Manufacturing & Industrial Security Services
Gatehouse and truck check-in, yard and perimeter patrol, contractor access control, and 24/7 remote monitoring. Plus NLRA-trained officers and surge staffing when a labor dispute threatens production.
Industrial Security Services and Solutions for Every Site
A stopped production line costs more per hour than most plants spend on security in a month, and the things that stop it are rarely dramatic. A gate that can't process forty trucks before shift change. A contractor who walked into a restricted area without an escort. Scrap leaving on a trailer nobody logged. A picket line nobody planned for. Prosegur's manufacturing and industrial security programs cover the operational failures, not just the criminal ones: gatehouse and weigh scale coverage, bill of lading and seal verification, contractor credentialing, yard patrol, and 24/7 remote monitoring from our iSOC after second shift. When a labor agreement is coming up for renewal, we plan and staff for that too.

Officer Training: Gatehouse, Scale House, OSHA & Contractor Access
Security in industrial environments isn’t just about watching doors, it’s about knowing the unique risks and demands of manufacturing plants, warehouses, and equipment yards. Our security guards are prepared with the know-how and real-world skills to protect your people, assets, and operations. Here’s how we make sure they’re ready:
Prosegur security guards are prepared to understand the key industry standards like OSHA regulations and site-specific safety protocols. They learn how to enforce these requirements, minimize safety risks, and contribute to a culture of compliance that protects your workforce and keeps operations running smoothly.
Our team receives instruction on vehicle check-in/check-out procedures, bill of lading verification, seal inspection, and coordinating with dispatch teams to maintain accurate shipment records and prevent unauthorized load movement.
Emergencies in industrial settings can have serious consequences. Our guards work closely with site managers and first responders to ensure safety and maintain operational continuity.
Industrial facilities often contain expensive machinery, tools, and materials that are critical to your operations. We address proactive asset protection strategies, preparing guards to monitor high-value items, prevent theft, and reduce costly downtime caused by security incidents.
Addressing Industrial Security Challenges
Theft and Vandalism
Industrial sites store high-value equipment, tools, and raw materials, making them targets for theft and damage. Our security guards and surveillance systems deter criminal activity and provide continuous asset protection by:
- Conducting regular patrols and inspections to detect suspicious activity
- Monitoring key equipment storage areas and loading docks
- Maintaining visible deterrents to discourage potential intruders
Yard Management and Traffic Oversight
Busy yards with constant truck and trailer activity require security oversight to prevent congestion, loss, and safety incidents. Our teams:
- Manage inbound and outbound vehicle flow to prevent bottlenecks and maintain schedule integrity
- Verify shipping documents, trailer seals, and cargo loads before departure
- Track all yard movements in real time to prevent unauthorized asset removal
Workplace Safety
The heavy machinery and complex processes in industrial environments create unique safety risks for your workforce. Our trained guards support workplace safety by:
- Reinforcing compliance with OSHA regulations and site-specific safety protocols
- Identifying and addressing safety hazards to prevent incidents
- Assisting in incident management and accident prevention, working closely with your safety team
Labour Disputes, Strikes and Lockouts
A strike or lockout puts your site, your people and your assets under pressure, and federal labor law sets clear rules on how security can operate during a dispute. Our strike and lockout security:
- Protects your facility, equipment and non-striking employees, and keeps plant entrances open for deliveries, contractors and staff
- Keeps picket lines, gates and vehicle crossings safe and orderly, with thorough, NLRA-compliant documentation that avoids unlawful surveillance of protected activity
- Is planned around the National Labor Relations Act and applicable state laws, with coordination with local law enforcement
Emergency Preparedness and Business Continuity
Emergencies, such as fires, chemical spills, or equipment malfunctions, can disrupt operations and endanger workers. We support your emergency response efforts with:
- Pre-planned emergency procedures and drills for quick, coordinated responses
- Training to handle fires, spills, severe weather, and equipment failures
- On-site collaboration with first responders to keep your operations running and minimize downtime
FAQs About Manufacturing and Industrial Security
We provide comprehensive security services for industrial sites, including trained security officers, perimeter protection, access control, video surveillance, remote monitoring, and emergency response planning. Our solutions are tailored to meet the specific needs of manufacturing plants, warehouses, and equipment yards.
Industrial sites operate around the clock and often house valuable assets and sensitive processes. 24/7 security ensures continuous protection against theft, vandalism, and unauthorized access, while supporting safety compliance and operational continuity.
Our security practices support OSHA and site-specific safety protocols, helping you avoid fines and create a safer work environment. Officers also document incidents and enforce procedures to ensure you remain in compliance with regulatory standards.
Remote security services combine video cameras and sensors with the expertise of highly trained iSOC agents, who watch over your site 24/7 from an off-site command center. These agents don’t just observe—they analyze activity in real time, verify alarms, and coordinate swift responses to security breaches, equipment issues, or emergencies. Their vigilance ensures your facility stays protected, even when no on-site guards are present.
We enforce strict access control protocols and monitor perimeter activity to prevent unauthorized entry. This includes verifying credentials, managing gates and entry points, and using technology like electronic access control systems for enhanced security.
No. Remote security services are designed to complement, not replace, on-site security teams. While our iSOC agents monitor your site through cameras and sensors around the clock, the human connection remains critical. These agents can speak directly with employees, provide verbal warnings through loudspeakers, and quickly coordinate with on-site officers or local authorities when needed. This blend of technology and human judgment ensures faster, smarter, and more effective protection.
Our officers are trained to respond to emergencies like fires, spills, equipment failures, and workplace accidents. We work with your team to ensure a coordinated response that minimizes downtime and keeps your workforce safe.
Yes. We recognize that every industrial facility is different. Our team conducts a detailed risk assessment and collaborates with you to create a customized security plan that aligns with your operational goals, safety requirements, and site-specific risks.
