Why Gerda’s Premises Information Boxes Are Essential for Safety

The Significance of Premises Information Boxes in Fire Safety

The Original Secure Facility

Gerda’s Premises Information Boxes – colloquially known as PIBs – go beyond the conventional understanding of secure information boxes. They embody an original and trusted solution, and one meticulously developed in collaboration with fire and rescue services. These robust boxes serve as repositories for vital information about a building that is likely to be of use to the Fire Brigade in the event of an emergency. This not only facilitates swift and effective responses during emergencies but also underscores Gerda’s commitment to providing enduring solutions that withstand the test of time.

Compliance with Regulations

In the dynamic landscape of fire safety regulations, Gerda Security Products remains at the forefront of our industry by ensuring that our Premises Information Boxes seamlessly align with the latest standards. Compliance is not merely a commitment, but a legal requirement for responsible persons in multi-occupied residential buildings with story heights exceeding 11 metres for new-builds, or 18 metres for existing buildings. Our Premises Information Boxes offer a seamless solution, ensuring that buildings not only meet but exceed the highest safety standards and regulatory expectations.

Providing a Complete ERP Plan Service

Emergency Response Plans (ERPs) constitute the backbone of a robust safety strategy. Acknowledging this, Gerda, in collaboration with the Fire Industry Association (FIA) and the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC), offers a comprehensive ERP Plan Service. This service goes beyond the creation of detailed plans; it includes an annual audit and maintenance option. This ensures that your emergency response plans are not only compliant but also adapt to the dynamic nature of safety protocols, providing an extra layer of confidence in the face of unforeseen events.
