A customer site at the heart of current events

Dedicated to the diagnosis, management and study of infectious diseases (the world's leading cause of death, with 17 million deaths a year), the Institut Hospitalier Universitaire Méditerranée Infection has been headed since 2011 by the renowned Professor Raoult.

Specially designed to prevent and manage epidemic crises, this 27,000 m² building, the only one of its kind in Europe, houses a laboratory for handling highly pathogenic micro-organisms and samples classified as NSB3, 3 units with 25 hospital beds, including a very high-level isolation unit, an autopsy room, 4 National Reference Centers and some 700 employees (nurses, lecturers, students, etc.).

Since December 2016, L'Agence Onet Security Marseille 1 has been in charge of the site's fire and security missions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

A contract concluded within the framework of the partnership between UGAP (Union des Groupements d'Achats Publics) and Onet Security, in the field of "Human security services on sensitive and non-sensitive sites, with ancillary supplies and services".

Facing up to Covid-19

Since the beginning of the health crisis, our agents have been heavily mobilized.

Professor Raoult and his teams have come out in favor of a massive testing policy.

For several weeks now, people have been arriving in droves in the hope of being tested, and the queue outside the ultra-modern premises of Marseille's IHU continues to grow.

" The queue of potentially ill patients is endless. On the street, it goes so far that you can't see the end of it ," stressessecurity guard Rachid A., who ensures that safety distances between patients are respected, and also looks after the safety of the nursing staff.

 During the day, patient numbers are much higher than on a normal day. 

" With the customer's agreement, we modified the schedule. In addition, we twice reinforced the existing team," explains Joseph Roscio, Marseille1 Agency Manager.

" The courage and motivation of our agents in these very difficult times can only make us proud. For my part, I've been honored to manage men and women of this quality for 18 months now," declares Joseph Roscio.

As proof of the tremendous work accomplished by these agents, in mid-April the Marseille1 branch was contacted by Professor Fournier himself.

A medical biologist, he is a member of Professor Raoult's team and heads up the IHU's molecular diagnostics platform. In the fight against the coronavirus, his role is to ensure the "safety" of "all patients and caregivers", notably by providing the necessary equipment and testing materials.

On behalf of Professor Raoult and the entire IHU team, Professor Fournier paid tribute to the work and dedication of Onet Security staff since the start of the crisis. He underlined the great interpersonal skills of these men and women, and their perfect mastery of their missions.

A big thank you to Florence, Doura, Mourad and Mourad, Yacine, Mohamed, Eric, Sebastien, Steve, Jean-Marc, Habib and Rachid... who work hard every day to maintain optimal safety and security conditions at the IHU Marseille.
