The importance of security in manufacturing facilities cannot be overstated. From traditional concerns like theft and vandalism, to challenges involving cyber security and personnel safety, security plays a pivotal role in safeguarding assets and employees while maintaining seamless operations.
One of the top priorities of manufacturers is ensuring the safety of personnel withing the facility. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, at 3.2 incidents per 100 people, the manufacturing industry has one of the highest rates of nonfatal occupational injury and illness.
Signal works alongside manufacturing plant staff as an additional arm of the safety team. By implementing security and safety measures, including safety training for staff, Signal helps create a safer work environment for everyone.
In addition to safety, compliance and regulations are top of mind for those in charge of manufacturing facilities. Failure to comply with industry standards and regulations can result in severe penalties and fines. According to the National Association of Manufacturers, the average cost of a regulatory audit or non-compliance event is $19,564. In cases of serious non-compliance, regulators may also order the temporary or even permanent shutdown of a facility until the issues are resolved.
As an extension of the safety team at these plants, Signal helps monitor the plants compliance with many regulations. This includes increasing security measures when necessary, monitoring surveillance systems and controlling access points, all crucial tasks for meeting regulatory requirements and avoiding legal consequences.
Security is an essential part of everyday life in manufacturing facilities. From employee safety to compliance with federal regulation, the importance of a robust security operation should not be underestimated. Signal serves as a valuable partner in enhancing security measures, providing crucial safety training and contributing to the creation of a secure work environment.
