Safety and Security for Hospitals and Healthcare
Hospitals and care facilities have grown in size to meet the demands of an increasing and ageing population and many now expand across large areas, containing multiple specialist units dealing with emergencies and in and out-patient services.
It’s a service sector which operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year; where the safety and security of staff, patients and visitors are key aspects in creating an environment conducive to patient treatment and recovery, and where healthcare professionals can operate without distraction.
The design of fencing, gates, secure enclosures and access control in and around hospitals and healthcare facilities will therefore typically perform many functions including:
- Preventing unauthorised entry and egress from the grounds
- Protecting patients, staff and visitors from accident and injury
- Deterring theft, anti-social behaviour and reducing the risk of malicious damage
- Managing the flow of supplies and deliveries
- Securing power supplies
- Separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic
- Security and access control to clinical supplies, car parking, bicycle storage and waste storage
- Mitigating noise propagation into the site
- Providing the means for rapid evacuation and access for emergency services in the event of a major incident
Specifying fencing and gates for hospitals
Hospitals and other healthcare institutions are critical infrastructure where security and safety must be carefully balanced. We look at the recommended solutions that reduce the risk of theft and create safe sites.
