Security systems for healthcare facilities is something that must be carefully planned, designed and installed to ensure that your hospital is meeting the current regulations and British standards.
Our team here at Active Security not only have the experience, but also the industry knowledge and understanding to provide you with a high-quality security service.
Access Control
Access control provides a hospital with the ability to take control, monitor and restrict the movement of people, assets and vehicles in, out and around a property.
Access control systems can be used for various applications, including time and attendance recording, visitor management, and Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), while also helping to cut costs.
Hospitals and care homes face a number of potential risks on a daily basis. These risks can affect staff members, patients and visitors. Access control systems, such as physical barriers, identification devices and door controllers, can be used to reduce these risks.
Intruder Alarms
Intruder alarms can be used to detect intrusion and perimeter breaches. Using intruder alarms that are remotely monitored is a great way to ensure that you are easily able to identify and react to a potential break-in.
Often, intruder alarms and bell boxes are the perfect solution for deterring potential intruders from trying to break into the hospital.

Hospital fire safety
Fire safety for healthcare facilities is something that must always be taken with the care and attention that it requires.
Here at Active Security, we have the experience and knowledge that is required to provide professional and reliable fire safety systems for healthcare sites.
Fire Evacuation Plans
Evacuation of any hospital or healthcare site is much more complicated than evacuating a normal business premises. Evacuating a hospital will involve moving immobile and high dependency patients, which must be done as quickly and safely as possible.
Hospitals and Health Care Trusts have a legal responsibility to ensure adequate means of escape from fire is available and that suitable and sufficient fire-fighting equipment is provided and maintained in accordance with the statutory requirements they are subject to.
Fire System Installations
When installing a fire safety system to a hospital, there is a number of factors that must be considered. Here are just a few things that you must think about:
- The number of fire alarms and detectors required
- Will you need to have emergency lighting installed?
- Which suppression system will you need to have
- Do you have an accurate and clear evacuation plan
- Have your staff been appropriately trained for fire safety?
- Do you have a system testing plan in place?
Fire Suppression Systems
A fire in a hospital poses a number of major threats, the main of which being the threat to the lives of everyone within the hospital. Due to this, it is vital that fire alarms, fire doors and fire extinguishers are in place.
As a first line of defence from fires, you should take as many precautions as possible to prevent fires starting; however, sometimes fires can still break out. To help quickly deal with this, fire extinguishers can be used. Here at Active Security, we are able to provide you with a wide range of different fire extinguishers that each have different applications. Our experienced team can work to ensure that you have the correct extinguishers where they need to be.
Emergency Lighting & Signs
In the event of a fire, you will need to have the correct lighting and signage to aid in the evacuation. We will be able to provide you with emergency lighting, bulkhead units, spotlights and illuminated exit signs.
Fire Safety Training
In order to reduce the risk of fire, a hospital relies on a sufficient number of trained staff members, a facility that has taken fire precautions where possible, and effective emergency action plans in place, which must be practiced.
At Active Security, we can provide you with fire safety consultancy to ensure that you understand the requirements of fire safety training.
Fire Risk Assessments
Fire safety legislation, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, states that employers must carry out a fire risk assessment of their workplace. The fire risk assessment identifies likely fire hazards, evaluates the chance of a fire breaking out, and the consequences if there were a fire. A written record of the risk assessment must be kept if the business employs five or more people.
At Active Security, we have highly trained and approved fire risk assessors that are able to provide you with fire risk assessments for your business. We can carry out a full fire risk assessment, provide the documentation needed, provide an easy to understand report that will help ensure that your workplace complies with the requirements of the Fire Safety Order.
Carrying out a fire risk assessment will:
- Identify your fire safety hazards
- Identify the people at risk
- Evaluate, remove or reduce the risk
- Record the findings and prepare an emergency plan
