Prison Hoarding
Safe and secure internal hoarding systems suitable for Ministry of Justice (MOJ) sites
With recent reports highlighting critical fire safety issues across UK prisons, it’s clear that robust, adaptable, and safe hoarding systems are essential for maintaining safety and operational continuity whilst improvements take place. A staggering quarter of UK prison places fail to meet fire safety standards, leaving staff and inmates vulnerable. Hoardfast Firescreen directly addresses this concern by offering a steel-faced 60-minute fire-rated panel. This enables contractors to work safely in active prisons, eliminating the need for prisoner relocation, and compliance with stringent safety regulations, minimising the risk of fire-related incidents while enabling ongoing FSI (Fire Safety Improvement) works and refurbishment projects.
