Lockdown Systems

Lockdown Systems

In an age marked by increasing threats to public safety, from terrorism to active shooter incidents, lockdown systems have emerged as a critical component of emergency preparedness.

Emergency lockdown systems are designed to rapidly secure buildings and protect occupants during emergencies, minimizing harm and enabling coordinated responses. Whilst school lockdown systems may be forefront in our minds due to recent events in the UK and all over the world, they are for any building, venue or site where relatively large numbers or the public are gathered. Schools, colleges, manufacturing companies, live music and event venues are just a few examples.

The importance of lockdown systems has been highlighted by legislative developments such as Martyn’s Law, officially known as the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, which mandates enhanced security protocols for public venues across the UK.

Martyn’s Law introduces the concept of lockdown systems, their necessity, practical applications, and their legal framework. It also outlines compliance requirements for businesses and institutions, offering a comprehensive understanding of how lockdown systems contribute to public safety.

Messages can be tailored to your specific requirments and we are able to record these in-house for integration into the system.
