Security Direct have been lucky to work with Health Education England. Health Education England (HEE) exists for one reason only: to support the delivery of excellent healthcare and health improvement to the patients and public of England by ensuring that the workforce of today and tomorrow has the right numbers, skills, values and behaviours, at the right time and in the right place.
Their Head Office is based in the centre of Leicester. Security Direct has worked closely with HEE in securing their offices, as they have had issues with attempted break-ins. We installed a large number of Security Grilles including the Insurance Approved - Level 1 Security Grille to all ground floor windows and doors. On the fire exist we installed the Fire Exit Folding Grille, as it provided security and complied with fire regulations.
Security Direct look forward to working with HEE in securing their other premises throughout the UK.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Health Education England need additional office security?
Health Education England had experienced attempted break-ins at its Leicester offices, so additional physical security was required to protect vulnerable ground-floor windows and doors.
What security grilles were installed at the Leicester offices?
Security Direct installed a large number of Security Grilles across the ground-floor windows and doors. This included the Insurance Approved – Level 1 Security Grille, providing an additional physical barrier against attempted forced entry.
Can security grilles be fitted to both windows and doors?
Yes. Security grilles can be used to protect a variety of vulnerable openings, including windows and doors. The most appropriate grille will depend on the opening, required security level, frequency of access and any other requirements for the building.
Can a security grille be installed across a fire exit?
A fire exit requires particular consideration because additional security must not prevent people from escaping in an emergency. For this project, Security Direct installed a Fire Exit Folding Grille, providing additional security while meeting the requirements of the fire-exit application.
Are security grilles suitable for offices, healthcare and education premises?
Yes. Security grilles can provide an effective additional layer of physical protection for offices, healthcare facilities, educational premises and other commercial buildings, particularly where ground-floor windows and doors could be vulnerable to attempted break-ins.
