Understanding the Importance of Fire Safety and Security

Fire safety and security are vital aspects of any modern infrastructure. Fires not only endanger lives but also cause immense property damage and disrupt communities. By implementing robust safety measures, building owners or accountable persons can significantly reduce risks. Gerda Security specialises in creating products that go beyond basic compliance, offering enhanced protection tailored to the needs of each environment.

Key Gerda Security Solutions

Premises Information Boxes (PIBs)

Premises Information Boxes are an essential tool in emergency planning. Designed in collaboration with firefighters, PIBs ensure that the Fire and Rescue Service has immediate access to vital building information, even during high-stress situations.

These boxes are:

• Independent of power or connectivity: PIBs do not rely on electricity, Wi-Fi, or human presence, making them reliable in any emergency.
• Recognised focal point: Recognised nationwide by the Fire and Rescue Service the Gerda PIB allows immediate access to critical information through the GSP One Key® System.
• Comprehensive: They securely hold A3-sized laminated building plans and critical safety documents, forming part of the Emergency Response Pack (ERP).

Access Control Boxes (ACBs)

The Access Control Box is designed exclusively for the Fire and Rescue Service, providing designated access to the control switch of a building. Once the Fire and Rescue Service deactivate this switch, they can access communal areas secured by electronic or electrical means.

Each ACB is:

• Versatile: The ACB is suitable for a wide range of outdoor deployment environments.
• Secure: Engineered to withstand tampering while providing rapid access when required.

Managing Vehicular Access

One often-overlooked aspect of fire safety and security is controlling vehicular access. Barrier Gate Locks (BGLs) are a versatile solution for estates, business parks, and other areas where authorised vehicular access is crucial.

Key features of BGLs include:

• Enhanced control: The system uses a specialised key that cannot be removed until the gate is securely closed, ensuring proper use.
• Emergency accessibility: Fire and Rescue Services can gain immediate access when needed.
• Prevention of misuse: BGLs help deter unauthorised parking and fly-tipping, keeping areas secure and operational.
