HVM stands for Hostile Vehicle Mitigation. It encompasses measures taken to reduce the risk posed by vehicles used in attacks. This includes temporary or permanent physical security measures like barriers and bollards, which we specialise in. HVM is predominantly utilised to protect pedestrians at large events as well as busy areas (town centres) and critical infrastructure, like government buildings.
The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 places a duty on employers to ensure the health and safety of their employees and the public. HVM solutions play a crucial role in fulfilling this duty by mitigating the risk of vehicle-based accidents and attacks. By implementing appropriate HVM measures, organisations can help to create a safer environment for everyone.
Ideally, a VRS and HVM assessment should be conducted early in the planning stages of any new development or event. This allows for HVM/VRS measures to be integrated into the design, ensuring maximum effectiveness and minimising costly retrofits. It’s also crucial to review measures periodically or when changes occur. We can provide guidance for HVM & VRS design to ensure appropriate utilisation and optimisation of products.
