In secure healthcare facilities we focus on the principles of good lighting, safety, design, robust construction and easy maintenance.
Typical Applications – Secure Health
Core Lighting Requirements For The Secure Health Sector
Our luminaires are designed to withstand attack and to reduce the possibility of attaching ligatures. We design these features into our fittings from the outset by carefully developing the form of the product, selecting the most appropriate materials and minimising the gaps between components.
Ligature Resistance Testing
We conduct Ligature Resistant Tests to ensure our products’ durability and safety for service users in custodial or secure health environments.
Test samples include strips of material or wires of various thicknesses used to attempt looping around the product. Additionally, we try to insert various items into any gaps in the product, such as keys, pieces of plastic cutlery, and credit cards (used alone or with other materials like shoelaces) to create ligature anchors.
If a potential anchor point is identified, we perform a test to measure the angle and load it can support before the anchor releases.
