Lululemon is one of Canada’s fastest-growing global brands. Founded in Vancouver in 1998, Lululemon has been a cornerstone of the athletic wear fashion space since its inception. This year, they outfitted Canada’s Olympic team with uniforms for the Paris 2024 Olympics. Blackbird Security proudly provides Lululemon’s warehouse security in Delta, BC, and Tilbury, Ontario. In this blog, we’ll detail how our services keep their facilities safe.
The Role Of Warehouse Security
Warehouses are frequently the target of thefts, and this is especially true for large-scale, well-known brands such as Lululemon. Thefts can include everything from organized, high-volume thefts to small-scale employee thefts. Warehouse security is designed to prevent both through the use of vigilance, continuous monitoring, and security protocols.
Beyond securing inventory, warehouse security guards also play an important role in emergency response. Each of our security guards is trained in first aid through Blackbird Academy, our in-house training program for Blackbird Security guards. Should an emergency, such as an accident or fire, occur at a warehouse, our security guards are trained to follow protocols and assist victims until help arrives.
Loss Prevention Strategies
We employ a variety of loss prevention strategies to secure Lululemon’s warehouses. The primary method for ensuring the safety of warehouse inventory is proactively preventing crimes before they happen. This includes regular environmental analysis, regular patrols of key areas, access point security, and the presence of uniformed security guards, who visually communicate that the warehouse is protected. Our security guards are trained to keep watch for security issues and threats, and will immediately report and take action as needed.
Should a security incident occur, such as reports of suspicious activity, triggered alarms, or theft in progress, warehouse security guards will immediately move to the location of the incident and assess the situation. If necessary, security guards will contact local law enforcement to report the incident and help bring the perpetrator to justice.
Employee theft is a common form of theft affecting warehouses. Security guards will closely observe employees and monitor CCTV cameras. In some cases, security guards may perform employee bag checks at the end of shifts. We educate our clients’ employees on security and theft protocol knowledge, ensuring employees are well-informed and able to report any suspicious activity they witness.
Security Guards At Lululemon Warehouses
Warehouse security guards occupy a variety of different roles within the warehouse. At Lululemon’s warehouses, we provide 6 security guards performing patrol security and front desk security duties. Here’s an overview of these roles:
Uniformed Security Guards
Uniformed security guards provide a strong element of visual deterrence, helping to clearly communicate that a warehouse is protected by a professional security company. Uniformed guards will conduct access point security and oversee the loading and offloading of products to and from the warehouse.
One of the key responsibilities of a warehouse security guard is patrol duty. Patrols involve guards making rounds of key areas of the warehouse, including high-traffic areas, areas storing expensive merchandise, and secure access points.
Front Desk Security Guards
Front desk security guards provide a friendly welcome to guests, employees, and visitors. They maintain a record of each visitor who enters the facilities, check identification, and monitor CCTV cameras.
As front desk security guards are often the first staff members visitors encounter at the warehouse, they receive enhanced customer service training through Blackbird Academy to best facilitate positive interactions with guests.
24/7 Warehouse Security At Lululemon
To ensure the maximum degree of protection, Blackbird Security guards are stationed at warehouses on a 24/7 basis. This provides a high level of safety at the property and ensures protection during overnight hours when organized thefts are most likely to occur. By keeping vigilance around the clock, our security guards can monitor for developing security breaches and take swift and immediate action.
