Site Boundaries

The Heath's perimeter fencing is protected by an electronic intruder detection system. Anyone attempting to enter the site by climbing the fence activates an alarm in the Security Control Centre triggering an immediate response by the Security Team

CCTV

All site boundaries, entrances /exits, roadways, car parks and all building access/egress points are monitored by the site CCTV system This is an advanced installation, which utilises the latest digital technology to monitor and record all events both during the day and at night. All images are monitored and recorded in the Security Control Centre. This enables the Security team to respond instantly to an incident as well as being able to replay recorded footage on request.

Patrols

The Heath's Security Team maintain a visible mobile patrol. Security Officers carry out regular and random patrols both internally and externally to ensure:

• There are no intruders on site or in any buildings at The Heath
• Windows, doors and gates are fully secure
• The buildings and contents are safe and maintained.
• To further minimise risk and to deter would be intruders, the times and routes of patrols are random and varied, thus preventing their prediction.

The mobile patrol service operates 24 hours a day with the patrol officer being in constant radio contact with The Heath's Security Control Centre.

Building Access

Access to The Heath's office and laboratory space is controlled using a "Proximity Cardkey System". The cardkey is a small plastic card which is magnetic coded and is specific to the individual to which it is issued. To gain entry to the buildings, the user must pass their cardkey in front of the "reader" which is attached to every turnstile entry point. The card is read electronically and if accepted, the turnstile unlocks allowing the person to enter, or leave, the building. The system is monitored in the Security Control Room and any attempt at forced entry initiates an instant response.

Security of Offices

All offices are fitted with Abloy High Security Locks ( unless a digital key pad lock or cardkey system is requested.) All furniture, such as desks and filing cabinets, provided by SOG Ltd, is provided with keys.
