Scienctic & Phramaceutical Laboratories
Fire safety and monitoring that meets industry regulations
We can also support laboratories with intruder alarms and fire safety systems designed to meet stringent industry regulations. Scientific environments require early fire detection due to the presence of flammable chemicals and sensitive research materials. Our heat and smoke detection systems provide rapid alerts, while fire suppression integration ensures compliance with lab safety regulations. With remote monitoring and emergency response services, ADB helps laboratories maintain a secure and compliant research environment, minimising risks while ensuring seamless operations.

Frequently asked questions
Laboratories must comply with regulations such as COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health), GLP (Good Laboratory Practice), and the HSE Laboratory Safety Guidelines. Security solutions, including audit trails from access control systems, tamper-proof CCTV recordings, and real-time environmental monitoring, help labs demonstrate compliance and maintain operational integrity.
CCTV cameras with privacy masking and motion detection provide 24/7 monitoring while respecting sensitive research areas. High-resolution surveillance helps track lab activity, prevent unauthorised access to restricted areas, and ensure staff follow safety protocols without interfering with delicate experiments.
Given the presence of flammable chemicals, volatile substances, and high-powered equipment, science labs require specialist fire detection and suppression systems. Heat and smoke detectors designed for laboratory environments, gas suppression systems, and emergency shut-off features help contain incidents before they escalate.
Expensive and sensitive lab instruments such as mass spectrometers, centrifuges, and chemical storage units require enhanced security. Intruder alarms, motion sensors, and RFID-tagged equipment tracking help deter theft and unauthorised use, ensuring assets remain secure and available for authorised research.
In laboratories handling biohazards, radioactive materials, or high-pressure gases, rapid emergency response is crucial. Integrated panic alarms, lockdown procedures, and automatic hazard alerts can trigger an immediate response, ensuring a coordinated evacuation or containment strategy in case of an incident.
Yes, modern lab security solutions can be seamlessly integrated with wider university, research facility, or pharmaceutical plant security systems. This includes linking lab-specific access control with site-wide monitoring, allowing for centralised oversight while maintaining lab-specific safety protocols.
