Warehouse Security FAQs
Practical answers for warehouse and logistics managers planning warehouse security coverage.
What does warehouse security include?
The service can include gatehouse and driver checks; deliveries and collections; loading areas and stock protection; internal and perimeter patrols; movement records and escalation. The exact roles, hours, checks and reporting are confirmed in your quotation and assignment instructions.
Can guards check vehicles and delivery bookings?
These checks can be agreed against the warehouse’s approved lists and instructions. Any discrepancies are referred to the nominated logistics contact.
Does security replace warehouse stock control?
No. Officers can observe and record agreed movements, while stock accounting, goods acceptance and operational decisions remain with the warehouse team.
Can security cover a 24-hour distribution operation?
Discuss the shift pattern, gatehouse hours, vehicle activity and patrol requirements so staffing can be planned around the operation.
Can you arrange overnight or weekend coverage?
