In environments where safety is paramount, such as mental health facilities, hospitals, and custodial settings, the demand for robust, anti-ligature furniture is at an all-time high. NJL’s furniture is meticulously designed to endure harsh conditions and prevent self-harm. It offers a solution that prioritises security, durability, and ease of maintenance.
Built to Last and Withstand Impact
Each piece in the custodial and secure anti-ligature collections is crafted with one goal: to withstand intense use without compromising safety. Made from flame-retardant, impact-resilient materials; these items are designed to withstand the daily rigours of challenging environments. They will not emit harmful odours if exposed to flames. Their resilience extends to water, ensuring that furniture remains intact and unblemished, even when exposed to liquids.
Safety by Design
One of the most crucial aspects of NJL’s anti-ligature furniture is its construction. It is meticulously designed to eliminate potential ligature points. The furniture poses a reduced threat to users with seamless edges and no sharp corners. Accessible edges are chamfered to remove the risk of accidental injury, while non-pick mastic is used at furniture wall and floor junctions to prevent potential misuse. Furthermore, items are mechanically fixed to floors and walls with countersunk security screws, ensuring that they remain firmly in place. Specific ranges even eliminate visible fixings, enhancing safety and reducing ligature risks.
Tested and Approved by the Ministry of Justice
All anti-ligature furniture undergoes rigorous testing and meets approval standards set by the Ministry of Justice. This certification is a testament to its safety and reliability in high-stakes environments, making it an ideal choice for institutions that require furnishings to meet strict guidelines.
Easy to Maintain, Built to Last
Beyond safety, these furnishings are designed for ease of upkeep. Their non-porous and hygienic surfaces make them suitable for clinical settings where sanitation is essential. With minimal upkeep requirements and long-lasting durability, anti-ligature furniture is an investment that keeps users safe and stands the test of time in demanding environments.
