      <title>SSAIB Accredited</title>
      <description><![CDATA[ <h3>
	<strong><span style="color: #f00">Latest Company News&nbsp;</span></strong></h3>
<p>
	<span style="font-size: small">PSE Security Services Ltd are&nbsp;extremely&nbsp;proud to have&nbsp;recently been awarded&nbsp;accreditation by the SSAIB.</span><br />
	<span style="font-size: small">Being awarded this accreditation&nbsp;is testimony&nbsp;to our customers of our high standards and quality worksmanship</span></p>
<p>
	<img alt="" src="https://www.security-contractors.co.uk/ckfinder/userfiles/images/Banner%205.jpg" style="height: 101px; width: 545px" /><br />
	&nbsp;</p>
<h3>
	What does this mean</h3>
<p>
	The SSAIB is a specialist certification body for providers of electronic security systems and fire systems.<br />
	SSAIB (Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board) only certificate companies who demonstrate competence and financial probity in the management of their business. Certificated providers must also demonstrate technical competence and ethical conduct when it comes to providing monitored Intruder alarms &amp; security services.</p>
<p>
	The role of the SSAIB is to ensure high standards of service and business ethics within the community of security, guarding and fire service providers in the interests of end users. This is achieved through rigorous assessment of providers against SSAIB&rsquo;s scheme criteria and maintained by regular and ongoing audit of management systems and inspection of installation. We participate in the development of standards and regulations to ensure that they are current and workable, whilst also maintaining close liaison with the Police, Fire Services and Insurance industry to ensure ongoing support for our activities.<br />
	<br />
	Gaining this accreditation means that we are recognised by all Police forces, in accordance with the ACPO policies.<br />
	This enables us to obtain (URN) Unique Reference Numbers to allow Police responce for monitored alarm systems.<br />
	<span style="font-size: 10px">&nbsp;</span></p>

	<br />
	<br />
	<span style="font-size: small;">Back in 1995 our company started out as </span><span style="font-size: small;">Potteries Security &amp; Electronics and due to our extensive knowledge&nbsp;</span><br />
	<span style="font-size: small;">within the electronics industry, we started repairing various electronics items, including curcuit board repairs.</span><br />
	<br />
	<span style="font-size: small;">Due to changes within this industry, </span><span style="font-size: small;">Earlier this year we decided to cease all electrinics repair services and to&nbsp;<br />
	reflect these changes we felt it nessecary to change our company name to something best suitable for us.</span><br />
	<br />
	<span style="font-size: small;">Over the years, all of our customers, colleagues and freinds have come to know us as PSE.&nbsp;<br />
	In an effort to minimise any confusion, In</span><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;January 2013, we changed our company to PSE Security Services Ltd.</span><br />
	<br />
	<font size="2">PSE Security Services Ltd is still owned and managed by the same Director and operated by the same staff.&nbsp;</font><br />

      <title>Electric Gate Safety</title>
      <description><![CDATA[ <h3>
	<span style="color: #f00">Visual Inspection</span></h3>
<p>
	Due to recent tragic incidents highlighted in the news over the previous months,<br />
	We have received a lot of enquiries from people worried about the safety of their automatic gates.<br />
	<br />
	Due to the increase in calls regarding health and safety compliance&nbsp;from both Domestic and Commercial&nbsp;customers, We are pleased to announce that we have decided to&nbsp;offer a&nbsp;free of charge&nbsp;visual inspection of your Automated&nbsp;Gate Installation.<br />
	<br />
	From a visual inspection we are able to see&nbsp;the system in operation and&nbsp;identify that the correct safety devices and safety procedures are&nbsp;in place, and&nbsp;also to ensure that your&nbsp;installation documentation is fully up to date and compliant.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>
	<br />
	<span style="color: #f00">Force Testing&nbsp; - BS EN 12453:2001 </span></h3>
<p>
	Force testing is a legal requirement that&nbsp;applies to all Domestic, Commercial&nbsp;&amp; Industrial Automation Systems&nbsp;.<img alt="" src="/ckfinder/userfiles/images/electric_gate_safety_test_staffordshire.jpg" style="width: 230px; float: left; height: 215px" />&nbsp;<br />
	<br />
	Any gate system that has been incorrectly or poorly installed can be a serious hazard. Incorrect motor&nbsp;pressures&nbsp;and force limite settings can result in&nbsp;serious injury&nbsp;or death and should only be configured by qualified professional automation installation engineers.<br />
	<br />
	Testing is carried out by using a special testing device that measures the impact of the gate against an obstable or gate post. A series of tests are carried out by the tester, this can be anything from a minimum of 10 tests to over 27 tests per installation. Once the tests are all completed the results are analysed by special software to PASS or FAIL the system.<br />
	<br />
	If&nbsp;your Automatic Gate System Force test is FAILED, Further work will be required to bring your installation up to the required standard and compliance.&nbsp;This will involve additional&nbsp;hardware or safety devices being installed onto your Electric Gate System.&nbsp;&nbsp;If&nbsp;your Automatic Gate System Force test is PASSED, We will&nbsp;provide&nbsp;a certificate.<br />
	&nbsp;</p>
<h3>
	<span style="color: #00f">Should I have my Electric&nbsp;Gates force tested ?</span></h3>
<p>
	We advise all customers to have their system fully inspected and tested if;</p>
<p>
	1&nbsp;-&nbsp; The&nbsp;installation was not carried out by an approved or registered&nbsp;company<br />
	2&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;You have no installation records or completed service certificates for the system.<br />
	&nbsp;</p>
<h3>
	<font color="#0000ff">How much will it cost&nbsp;?</font></h3>
<p>
	&pound;&nbsp; 99.00 + Vat&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Swing Gates&nbsp;&nbsp;/&nbsp; Force Test, Includes Pass or Fail Certificate<br />
	&pound;120.00 + Vat&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sliding&nbsp;Gates&nbsp;/&nbsp;&nbsp;Force Test, Includes Pass or Fail Certificate<br />
	<br />
	<br />
	If you are outside our coverage area, In addition to the above&nbsp;charges,&nbsp;<br />
	We&nbsp;may charge an additional mileage fee of &pound;0.40p per mile, plus Vat.<br />
	<br />
	For further information or to obtain&nbsp;pricing&nbsp;details,&nbsp;Please call our sales team.<br />
