Which approach best supports preventing theft or loss of fuel at a storage site?

Securing a fuel storage site rests on combining access control, precise inventory management, continuous monitoring, and clear accountability. Limiting who can enter the area and operate equipment prevents unauthorized access. Regular inventory reconciliations ensure the physical stock matches records, so discrepancies are caught quickly. Ongoing monitoring—like surveillance, alarms, and routine checks—provides real-time visibility and deterrence against loss. Strict accountability reinforces proper procedures and makes individuals responsible for any shortages. In contrast, leaving the site unsecured invites pilferage, relying on occasional contractor checks creates gaps in detection, and using verbal reports eliminates traceability and auditability.
