Overview

HM Prisons, probation offices, and judicial establishments present unique fire safety challenges due to restricted movement, high-security protocols, and the potential for volatile situations. Often these buildings house large populations as well as sensitive materials so fire safety is critical. Our services ensure full compliance with MOJ standards while protecting staff, residents, and assets.

Specialist Security & Fire Safety Integration

Ventro understands the critical need for fire safety to integrate seamlessly with security measures in HM Prisons, probation offices, and judicial establishments. Our expertise ensures that fire-rated doors, compartmentation, and suppression systems align with existing security protocols, preventing unauthorised access while maintaining fire compliance. 

We work closely with MOJ security teams to ensure fire protection measures enhance, rather than compromise, site security. This includes solutions such as fire door locking mechanisms, controlled access fire exits, and fire-stopping in high-risk areas. 

By combining fire safety and security expertise, Ventro provides a holistic approach to safeguarding MOJ facilities, staff, and residents.
