Small-Equipment Theft: Think Purple

摘要

Every equipment organization I've ever known has a problem with theft and security of their small equipment. When I say small equipment, I'm talking about small generator sets, tamps and jumping jacks, cut-off saws, small pumps, and dozens of other such items. It's the group of tools with relatively short lives, and most all of them cost well under $5,000. I'm not talking about the true hand tools such as drill motors and chain saws. These are assigned to various foremen and are dispensed and tracked by the assignee, and they are typically stored each night in the foreman's locked company pickup.
