At Hammond Transport, leading specialists for storage in Essex, we understand the critical importance of keeping goods safe and secure, regardless of their size or the complexity of the consignment.
Our comprehensive storage solutions are designed to provide peace of mind, ensuring that every item is stored under the highest standards of security and care. Here’s how we ensure that our storage facilities offer the best protection for goods.
Advanced Security Measures
State-of-the-Art Surveillance Systems
One of the cornerstones of our storage security is the implementation of state-of-the-art surveillance systems. Our facilities are equipped with high-definition CCTV cameras that operate 24/7, providing constant monitoring of all storage areas. These cameras are strategically placed to cover every corner, ensuring that there are no blind spots. The footage is continuously monitored by our security team and is also stored for a specified period for future reference if needed.
Controlled Access Systems
To prevent unauthorised access, our storage facilities employ advanced controlled access systems. These systems include electronic gates, keycard entry and biometric scanners, which ensure that only authorised personnel can enter the storage areas. Each access point is logged, creating a comprehensive record of all entries and exits. This not only enhances security but also allows us to track and manage access effectively.
Intrusion Detection Systems
In addition to surveillance and controlled access, we have installed sophisticated intrusion detection systems throughout our storage facilities. These systems include motion sensors, glass break detectors and door/window sensors that trigger alarms if any unauthorised entry is detected. The alarms are connected to our central security office, which responds immediately to any alerts, ensuring a swift response to potential security breaches.
Climate-Controlled Storage
Temperature And Humidity Control
For clients with sensitive items that require specific environmental conditions, Hammond Transport offers climate-controlled storage units. These units are equipped with advanced temperature and humidity control systems that maintain optimal conditions to prevent damage.
Regular Maintenance And Monitoring
Our climate control systems are subject to regular maintenance and monitoring to ensure they function correctly at all times. Our technical team conducts routine checks and services the equipment to prevent any malfunctions.
Rigorous Staff Training And Background Checks
Comprehensive Training Programs
Security is only as strong as the people who enforce it. At Hammond Transport, we invest heavily in training our staff to adhere to the highest security standards. Our comprehensive training programs cover all aspects of storage security, from the operation of surveillance equipment to the implementation of emergency response protocols. Regular training updates ensure that our team stays informed about the latest security practices and technologies.
Background Checks And Vetting
To further enhance security, all our employees undergo thorough background checks and vetting procedures before being hired. This process includes criminal record checks, employment history verification and reference checks. By ensuring that our team is composed of trustworthy and reliable individuals, we maintain the integrity and security of our storage facilities.
Robust Inventory Management
Accurate inventory management is crucial for the security of stored goods. Hammond Transport uses advanced inventory management systems to track every item that enters and leaves our storage facilities. Each item is tagged and logged into our system, creating a detailed record that is accessible to our clients through our online portal. This transparency allows clients to monitor their inventory and ensures that nothing is misplaced or lost.
Emergency Preparedness And Response
Fire safety is a top priority at Hammond Transport. Our storage facilities are equipped with comprehensive fire detection and suppression systems, including smoke detectors, sprinklers and fire extinguishers. Regular fire drills and inspections ensure that our staff is prepared to respond effectively in case of a fire emergency.
