Salisbury Health Authority
Hospitals are not prisons, and security is not the first thing on the minds of
hospital staff. They are rightly far more concerned with the issues of caring
for patients. However a series of incidents in the news highlighted the security
risks to both staff, patients and in particular new-born babies in hospitals up
and down the country.
Salisbury Health Authority came to G4S Security Systems seeking a system that would
fulfil their total security needs and thus protecting all the people using the
hospital. The system that was designed and installed, incorporated a closed circuit
camera system to capture any incidents and monitor staff safety, as well as an
access control and barrier system to protect valuable equipment and staff.
The project also included the deployment of an electronic infant tagging system.
This involves a tag being put around a baby's ankle which responds to sensor panels
located at hospital exits. If the baby is taken through the sensor an alarm goes
off and the hospital's security team alerted.
The project was completed to budget and on time, allowing the hospital staff
to concentrate on their vital work for the local community.
