Warehouse Security

While a robust warehouse security plan should incorporate security measures such as :

- locks and/or barriers.

- Alarm System (monitored by a security company).

- CCTV (closed circuit TV)

- Possibly a static guard

THESE MEASURES STILL DO NOT PREVENT WAREHOUSE SECURITY LOSSES !

Thieves can break locks and barriers and use stolen vehicles to break through walls and gates. Thieves expect Warehouse Security alarms and know that even with a monitored alarm service the response time is such that they will have left the premises long before the cavalry arrives. CCTV, while an important part of a comprehensive warehouse security plan, does not deter all thieves (masking of facial features is commonplace), often making identification of the intruder(s) difficult. Even where a static guard is present, there have been cases where the guard has been tied up while the thieves go about their work.

At Halo Security we are now pleased to offer an innovative loss prevention technology to bridge the gap in your warehouse security plan. Halo FogSecure prevents thieves from seeing the goods in your premises and gives them no option but to flee the premises. On alarm, SMS (text message) or other trigger, a dense (completely safe) fog is pumped into your warehouse in seconds making it impossible for a thief to see the assets he is there to steal. We have many client testimonials. The fog leaves no residue (guaranteed) and has been comprehensively tested to ensure it does no damage to human, animal or product (including clothing).

Lone working has its rewards and challenges.

You have time flexibility in that your boss might know where you are but not what you are doing minute by minute. You might be able to finish what you are doing early. You can possibly choose to start work early and finish early. You may sometimes work alone in different locations and that can add interest to your job and the benefit of a company vehicle or mileage allowance.

The downside of lone working is that you might find yourself in a dangerous or compromising situation without a colleague present.

Read about lone working legislation to understand an employees and employers obligations when it comes to lone working .

Halo Security offers Lone working Technology which features a man down alarm that addresses the downside of lone working. Our lone worker system is a handheld device about the size of a mobile phone. As a lone worker you can alert a 24/7 monitoring centre by pressing two buttons on the device. This results in our monitoring service being able to find your exact location and alert your boss or security company (or do whatever is agreed). There is a lot more to the device than this basic description, which you can understand more fully by reading more about our man down alarm device.

Another point worth noting when you use our man down device in a lone working scenario, is that your employer will never know where you are unless you issue an alert from the device, indicating that you are in trouble or in distress. At that point, and only then, will the monitoring centre find your exact GPS location on
a map. This is important for employees and also employers to understand. The Halo device is not intended for use as a tracking device, and our policy is to only use the tracking features of the device when its needed. This puts the employee in control of whatever situation might arise, without feeling that someone is looking over their shoulder all the time.

Halo FogSecure pumps targeted non-toxic fog into a premises or vehicle within seconds of an alarm, causing thieves to flee EMPTY HANDED !

The current economic downturn has seen a huge increase in aggressive ’smash & grab’ robberies affecting a variety of sectors from Jewellers to Banks, Betting Offices to Schools. Furthermore, major thefts from warehousing -which takes considerable time is becoming more prevalent. Unfortunately, the consensus is that things are likely to get worse before they get better.

Locks, Alarms & CCTV are essential means of reducing opportunistic theft, alerting police and assisting in future prosecutions. However, daily events prove that these staple security measures do not prevent highly aggressive thieves from carrying out successful raids. Attacks can happen while a targetted premises is open for business and the barriers, locks & alarms are disabled. Or, alarm communications are compromised and thieves can spend more time defeating physical security measures, undetected. The latter being the modus operandi for warehouse theft.

However, where existing security measures have been even moderate, a panic-button will have been pressed during a raid or a local-alarm siren will have been triggered in a warehouse theft. The difficulty is that the delay in Police response facilitates rapid, yet costly and disruptive robberies and a local-alarm siren is oft ignored.

You cannot steal that which you cannot see!

In premises equipped with Halo FogSecure thieves leave very quickly and, as they came in, empty-handed!

Halo FogSecure is a pro-active solution to theft and robberies which pumps out a very dense ‘pea-soup’ fog which completely robs thieves of their ability to see:

Within moments of entering a building, raiders are met by a dense fog rapidly emanating (26m³ per second) from their target area (tills, stock room etc) toward the exit. 

Their goal beyond reach, completely covered by a thick cloud of Halo FogSecure, they quickly realise that their only exit route will be similarly unreachable unless they leave haste, post haste!

Most losses due to theft occur in the first few minutes of a robbery - Halo Fog Secure is the latest in loss prevention technology.

Halo FogSecure cannot be defeated as one cannot cut it, burn it, damage it, inhibit it -the type of tactics that criminals use to circumvent conventional security measures.

Halo Fog Secure is completely harmless, odourless and dissipates naturally leaving absolutely no trace. It does not affect clothing or electronics.   

Please contact us at Halo Security Ltd for professional advice on how to augment your existing security systems with Halo FogSecure.

The Halo Atex UHF Radio is an intrinsically safe personnel communication tool. It is a full featured two way, lone worker, man down emergency radio that is specifically designed for use in hazardous environments.

Safe 2-way Communication
The Halo ATEX Radio functions like a walkie talkie and allows communication between two or more people. However, unlike a standard walkie talkie it also features a lone worker security & safety system, meaning that if an individual is in trouble, they can quickly activate an alarm by pressing a key on the handset. Furthermore this Atex radio has an optional “man down” function. If the individual with the radio falls over or loses consciousness then the optional verticality sensor senses this and sends an alarm. Finally this ATEX radio has the highest ATEX ratings and complies with relevant EN standards.

Atex 20, 21, 22 rated
The Halo ATEX radio also has ratings of ATEX 20, 21, 22 which means that it is rated for dust environments.

Why an ATEX radio is required
Many workplace environments involve the manufacture, storage and transport of flammable and / or hazardous materials. These materials need careful handling and the highest level of protection is mandatory. Hazardous materials (liquid, gas or powder) can be ignited by a spark, a flame or a hot surface. Even a radio is capable of triggering an explosion in hazardous conditions. Most people will have seen warning notices at service station fuel pumps, which caution against mobile phone use. Hazardous material environments require the correct equipment. Using a radio with inadequate specifications can have life-threatening consequences. In a hazardous environment it is still necessary to communicate but only with absolute assurance of safety.

Halo ATEX radio features

• High Power Output (up to 3.5 watts).
• User-Friendly [large keys allow for easy operation even while wearing heavy gloves].
• Prominent programmable alarm key.
• Easy to read display [luminous keys and backlit display help to ensure correct use of the radio even in the dark].
• Ergonomic design.
• Flexible operation [this Atex radio is equipped with tone systems such as CCIR, ZVEI and CTCSS].
• Shock and Vibration resistant.
• All frequency bands communication.
• User configurable interface.
• Accessory sockets.
• Extensive range of accessories.
• LED (red – green) indicates send – receive status.
• Dual Rotary knobs (configurable as multi choice knobs or as channel selectors).
• Highest ATEX classification.
• Radio and battery are certified for gas and dust and can be used in ATEX environments without carrying case.
• Possible to change the battery in ATEX environments.
• Programmable Man Down / Verticality sensor w/ in-built automated alert escalation system
  Halo Atex UHF Radio is compatible with a range of OEM suits and suit-integrated microphones, speakers & PTT switches.
