How OHEAP is supporting modern industrial protection
For over 60 years, OHEAP Fire and Security has delivered specialist fire safety and security solutions across the UK. During this time, the company has seen how industrial and manufacturing environments have become more complex. Facilities teams and site managers need fire and security protection that reflects the specific risks of their sites, supports compliance, and provides visibility around the clock.
Through OHEAP Fire and Security’ s newly launched Fire Safety Consultancy service, the company works with engineers, facilities teams and site managers to understand how each site operates, identify sitespecific risks and develop practical fire safety solutions that protect people, assets and keep operations running.
Supporting fire safety around sitespecific risks
Every industrial and manufacturing environment presents different challenges. Production processes, hot machinery, electrical infrastructure, hazardous materials and site layouts can all influence how fire safety and security systems should be designed, installed, monitored and maintained.
OHEAP Fire and Security works directly with these teams to understand the risks involved and develop effective solutions. Early engagement can help identify fire detection, emergency lighting, monitoring and wider security requirements alongside the operational demands of the site.
For industrial facilities operating around the clock, or those left
unattended outside normal working hours, monitoring can provide an important additional layer of protection. Fire alarm events, faults and system notifications can be communicated through approved monitoring pathways, while 24 / 7 monitoring support can help ensure an alarm or system event is identified and escalated when on-site teams are unavailable.
For sites where an incident could disrupt production, damage critical equipment or affect operations, maintaining this visibility can be essential.
Protecting Operations Beyond the Tools
Technology is only one part of an effective fire and security strategy. For manufacturing environments, systems need to be appropriately surveyed, designed, installed, and maintained to support reliable performance over the long term.
OHEAP Fire and Security’ s Fire Safety Consultancy service assesses site-specific risks to help teams determine the most appropriate approach to fire protection. This can include considering the processes taking place, occupancy, equipment, building layout, potential ignition sources and the potential impact an incident could have on people, production and business continuity.
Fire safety and security don’ t need to operate as separate systems. OHEAP Fire and Security combines NSI Gold-accredited CCTV, ANPR, access control, intruder alarms, keyholding and monitoring with its fire detection and life safety systems, giving teams one holistic view of risk across a site rather than managing fire and security separately. For large or operationally critical facilities, this integrated approach can help teams manage access, identify potential incidents and protect their premises, even when left unoccupied.
