G4S Technology have secured many bespoke security management solutions across Healthcare sites, combating such threats as pharmaceutical thefts, staff attacks and nuisance behaviour.
In today’s society, a Hospital’s security is a high priority, all staff need to be as vigilant as ever in identifying and reacting quickly to suspect behaviour. More and more serious incidents and attacks are taking place within Healthcare environments, leading to on-going vigorous work by administrators and officials to prevent further incidents and protect staff and hospital premises.
G4S Technology have considerable experience within the Health sector, in particular migrating from existing systems and integrating multiple sites to create a centrally managed security system across an IP network infrastructure.
What’s Your Greatest Security Concern?
Staff & patient safety
The Symmetry Security Management System takes the safety of the staff and patients as priority and using the tightly integrated access control and video solution, can monitor any situation before an incident occurs to reduce staff and patient injury. Symmetry can provide evidence of violence against staff when cases go to court.
Specifically, within Mental Health facilities, G4S Technology can advise on unobtrusive security which is critical to avoid unsettling patients, minimising the risk of absconding and enhancing perimeter protection.
Secure area control
Using the Symmetry Security Management System, areas can be assigned different levels of access depending upon the time and date, user type, department and area use. The systems can be administered via an existing HR database and new users can be added in less than a minute. Where access to a particular building or department is limited or controlled, the system can use biometric fingerprint readers which will add an extra layer of security.
Visitor & contractor monitoring Healthcare facilities often have a weak perimeter, which requires strong and consistent management, administration and monitoring. Symmetry Visitor Management enables staff to enrol visitors, capture their photograph, issue an ID badge, assign to responsible employees and monitor their movements throughout the site. Quick transfer data rates ensure processing the high volumes of patient and visitor movements is exceptionally fast.
Protection of facilities & supplies The Alarm Management feature within the Symmetry Security Management Solution enables security staff and other personnel to quickly view, acknowledge and respond as a result of an alarm within the tightly integrated security system being triggered. We have considerable experience of providing systems to mitigate risk against theft of high value items and drugs by staff, patients and visitors.
Responding to a major incident
The tightly integrated Symmetry Security Management Solution with the Threat Level Management feature enables security staff and other personnel to quickly amend the site security with a single click of a button. The change can determine the card holders who are allowed to gain access, the areas they can access and the operation of security equipment around the building. If required readers can, for example, be switched to card and PIN or fingerprint mode and scheduled or conditional operations that are normally used to relax site security can be suspended.
A Truly Integrated Solution We recognise that as a respected healthcare provider you require an efficient supplier, with the expertise to help you to consider the long term costs of the system rather than just initial outlay in order to maximise your budget.
Hospitals must develop a comprehensive Security Management Plan to effectively support and maintain protection for patients, staff and visitors. Such programs cover the various security needs in layers: the first layer being the perimeter-monitoring and controlling how people get in and out. The second layer is the actual buildings on site. The third layer is sensitive areas within the buildings that need protection.
G4S Technology’s Symmetry security management software packages provides a platform for access control, video management, biometrics, visitor management and a whole host of other security and building management functions.
Our latest Symmetry Video Management Solution can be tightly integrated into the security management system. Our system provides the complete integrated package providing users with an unrivalled, advanced solution for single or multi-site applications on a single platform. |
