Industrial & Manufacturing Sector Experience

Industrial Site Security Built Around a Working Plant

Industrial site security has to work around production, not against it. A manufacturing plant never really closes — shift changeovers, HGV deliveries, contractors on permits — and the perimeter has to hold while the line runs. Slow the gate and you cost output. Ignore the yard and you lose plant, raw materials and finished stock.

AGS Security provides SIA licensed officers for factories, production plants, engineering works and industrial estates across England, Scotland and Wales — gatehouse and vehicle access control, contractor verification, perimeter and outdoor storage patrols, and shutdown cover when the site sits empty.

Security Services for Manufacturing Sites

Industrial contracts usually combine a controlled gate with cover for the perimeter and the hours production isn't running. The right mix depends on your site size, shift pattern and how much outdoor storage you hold.

Gatehouse & Access Control

Manned gatehouse cover handling HGV arrivals, contractor sign-in, visitor passes and vehicle checks — keeping deliveries moving while everyone entering site is accounted for.

Manned Guarding

SIA licensed officers providing static and overnight cover, protecting plant, materials and finished stock during the hours production isn't running.

Mobile Patrols

Patrol visits across large perimeters, yards, compounds and outdoor storage — practical cover for sites too big for a single static officer to watch.

Key Holding & Alarm Response

We hold the keys and attend alarm activations out of hours, so your plant manager isn't driving to site at three in the morning for a false activation.

Our Security Process

How We Deliver Manufacturing Security

Industrial sites need officers who can hold a gate and a perimeter without slowing production. AGS Security follows a structured four-stage process so every assignment is properly assessed, appropriately staffed and effectively managed.

01

Consultation & Planning

We walk the site with your operations team — shift patterns, delivery windows, contractor volumes and the hours when the plant is least staffed.

  • Shift pattern and cover review
  • Delivery and contractor volumes
  • Existing access control procedures
02

Site & Risk Assessment

We assess the perimeter, gate, yard, outdoor storage and plant compounds, and identify where materials and equipment are most exposed.

  • Perimeter and access point assessment
  • Yard and outdoor storage review
  • Recommended officer deployment
03

Officer Briefing & Deployment

Officers complete your site induction and are briefed on your access procedures, permit-to-work rules and escalation contacts before their first shift.

  • Site induction and safety rules
  • Access and permit procedures
  • Incident and escalation contacts
04

Ongoing Operational Support

Our management team supervises cover throughout the contract, scales up for shutdowns and holiday periods, and adjusts as production patterns change.

  • Ongoing operational supervision
  • Access and incident logs
  • Cover for shutdowns and absence

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about industrial site security from plant managers, facilities teams and operations directors. If your requirement isn't covered here, call 0333 577 1777 or request a quote and we'll answer it directly.
Can you cover a site 24/7, including shift changes?
Do your officers manage contractor and HGV access?
Will officers complete our site induction and follow our health and safety procedures?
Yes. Officers complete your site induction before starting and work to your PPE, permit-to-work and site safety rules. On an operational plant, an officer who ignores your safety procedures is a liability regardless of how good their security work is.
Can you secure large perimeters and outdoor storage?
Do you provide cover during shutdowns and holiday periods?
