SECURITY SERVICES

Warehouse Security

Security Guard Group provides licensed guards for warehouses and distribution centers across Ontario. Coverage can include staff and visitor access, loading-area checks, interior patrols and after-hours response, with clear duties and reporting agreed around your operation.

CLEAR PROCEDURES FOR PEOPLE, ACCESS & PROPERTY

Warehouse Security That Fits Your Operation

Warehouse security needs to fit the way people and goods move through the building. Staff arriving for shift changes, visiting drivers, contractors, open loading doors and restricted stock areas each create different access and oversight needs.

Security Guard Group works with your warehouse team to define who can enter, what guards check, which areas they patrol and who can approve an exception. Clear site instructions and reviewed reports help management follow up on concerns during busy receiving periods, shift changes and quieter overnight hours.

Staff, Visitor & Contractor Access

Guards check site-provided passes, visitor approvals and contractor access under your agreed procedures. Your instructions define the check-in point, permitted areas, any escort requirements and who can authorize unexpected visitors. Where included, guards maintain visitor records, issue site-provided temporary passes and direct approved arrivals to the appropriate contact. Access concerns are referred to your designated representative for direction.

Dispatch, Receiving & Loading Dock Checks

Visiting drivers can check in at a designated point before entering work areas, with arrival details communicated to your receiving or dispatch team. Records can include delivery references, carrier details and arrival or departure times, as required. Where agreed, guards check outgoing movements against release information supplied by your team and refer discrepancies to an authorized contact. Loading-area duties follow your traffic rules and access permissions.

Interior Patrols & Secure Storage Areas

Agreed patrol routes can include designated aisles, staff-only areas, exit routes, stockroom doors and building access points. Guards look for signs of forced entry, visible damage, unsecured doors, unauthorized activity and concerns such as water leaks or blocked walkways. Restricted rooms and storage cages are included according to your permissions. Findings are documented and reported to the appropriate contact, with safe routes and inspection points defined in the patrol plan.

After-Hours Checks, Lockups & Alarm Response

Opening and closing duties can include designated door, gate and access-point checks under your site instructions. Mobile visits provide periodic inspections, while on-site guards provide a presence during their scheduled shifts. If an alarm activates, dispatch coordinates the agreed attendance and escalation process. The responding guard checks authorized areas, reports visible concerns and follows your contact and emergency-response instructions. Coverage hours, access arrangements and response duties are confirmed in advance.

Reviewed Reports & Clear Escalation

​

Digital activity and incident reports record attendance, inspection findings, concerns raised and actions taken. Relevant photos are included where authorized. Records help your team follow up on matters such as an unsecured loading door, an access discrepancy or visible property damage. GPS information, where used, supports verification of mobile visits. Urgent concerns follow the agreed notification process, and reports are reviewed before sharing through the client portal and email.

OUR SECURITY PROCESS

A Practical Security Plan for Your Warehouse

We review how your facility operates, agree the guard duties and turn them into clear site instructions. Preparation, defined patrol areas and reviewed reports keep coverage organized as shifts, access requirements and building activity change.

01 Site Assessment

We review staff and visitor entrances, dispatch and receiving points, loading doors, designated storage areas, patrol routes and existing security measures. Your team explains operating hours, shift changes, contractor activity, access permissions and site safety procedures.

02 Risk Evaluation

We discuss concerns such as unauthorized entry, unapproved stock movements, unsecured loading doors, theft, visible damage and after-hours activity. Previous incidents, busy periods and the building layout help determine where staffed posts, patrols or monitoring would be most useful.

03 Customized Security Plan

We agree access checks, dispatch and receiving duties, patrol areas, opening and closing procedures, coverage hours and escalation contacts. The plan also sets reporting requirements, photography permissions and any monitoring or alarm-response arrangements so management can review the scope before coverage starts.

04 Security Deployment

Assigned guards receive site instructions and a briefing on access permissions, reporting contacts, safe pedestrian routes, PPE requirements and existing emergency procedures. Their preparation builds on training in patrol procedures, customer service, First Aid/CPR and report writing. We coordinate credentials, handover and the start of coverage with your team.

05 Continuous Monitoring & Reporting

Guards document access concerns, patrol findings and incidents, with urgent matters escalated through the agreed contacts. Reports are reviewed before sharing through the client portal and email. We review changes in shifts, building use, storage arrangements and security priorities with your team and agree any updates to duties or coverage.
