Protecting Refineries with LabelLock®
Security in Refineries is becoming increasingly important as geopolitical tensions continue to disrupt energy markets; making every litre of fuel and every critical refinery asset more valuable, and therefore, more vulnerable.
LabelLock® – Security you can see
While many organisations invest heavily in electronic security, simple physical security measures can often provide a more low tech, but highly effective additional layer of protection that is both highly visible and cost effective.
Highly valued by Governments, Security Services and Global Industries around the world, LabelLock® tamper evident security seals have been protecting Critical National Infrastructure such as Refineries for many years. Strengthening their security procedures and improving accountability.
Because sometimes it is not about adding more technology. Sometimes it is about making unauthorised activity impossible to hide.
Securing Refineries
Managing Restricted Areas
Maintenance rooms, electrical switchgear, hazardous chemical stores, control panels and critical process equipment often require controlled access, but if entry is as quick and easy as turning a key, no one is really sure if unauthorised access has taken place, which is why the simple application of No Residue LabelLock® labels across doors, cabinets or access points, adds much greater levels of security. Providing immediate visual evidence if an area has been opened without authorisation, creating a simple but effective audit trail between scheduled inspections and encouraging greater procedural compliance.
Protecting Site Documentation
Refineries handle large volumes of sensitive documentation every day, including permits to work, engineering drawings, inspection reports, compliance records, lab results and contractor documentation. All of which could put the facility or the company at risk.
Whether documents are being transferred between departments, transported off site, or archived for regulatory purposes, LabelLock® tamper evident security labels can seal envelopes, document wallets or storage containers, making any unauthorised access immediately apparent.
Preventing Fuel Theft and Shrinkage
Fuel losses don’t always occur through sophisticated criminal activity. Small scale theft involving contractor vehicles, company vehicles or plant equipment can all add up.
Applying LabelLock® No Residue labels across fuel flaps or access points will allow fleet managers and site security to quickly identify whether fuel compartments or containers have been opened between entry and exit to the site, interim inspections or authorised refuelling stops; and can then be cleanly removed as the vehicle leaves site or as approved access is needed.
Supporting Contractors and Compliance
Refineries often have multiple contractors working on site at any one time, which could create additional safety and security risks. Applying LabelLock® tamper evident seals to temporary installations, lockout / tagout systems or inspection points provides clear visual confirmation that equipment remains untouched until authorised personnel have confirmed it is safe to go back into service.
Choose LabelLock®
In high risk environments like refineries, every additional layer of safety or security further protects your people, assets, operations and reputation.
Choose LabelLock®, the premium brand of tamper evident security labels and tape, to give your refinery the security it deserves.
Your security – Made better – Made easy.
