Prevent Welding Machines From Walking Off Your Job Site

Welding machines come in different shapes, sizes and functionalities. But the one thing they have in common is an expensive price tag. That’s why they are a common target for thieves.

When a welding tool can bring in up to $20,000 when resold, thieves find them worth the risk. 

For example, this $10,000 welding machine was taken from Northeastern Junior College in Colorado. Thieves cut a fence, loaded the tool and drove off. Worse yet, security cameras were not set up to protect the equipment and could not capture quality images of vehicles and people involved.

Likewise, a power plant in Hawaii suffered $20,000 in losses after all of its welding machines were stolen. Officials say people posed as employees who were supposed to be working on-site.

These 2 examples alone show how essential it is to secure your business.  

Security Cameras Alone Are Not Enough 

Security cameras are a must, but they need to be positioned properly to be effective. Fences are a great way to keep unwanted people on the outside, but as the Colorado story shows us, by themselves, they aren’t enough.
