Anti-Ligature Radiator Covers

As a key part of our radiator guard offer, Contour has developed a specialist range of solutions for use in secure environments such as NHS or private mental health facilities, prisons and other secure custody services. Reducing the risk of potential ligature and tamper opportunities is of paramount importance in reducing the risk of harm to vulnerable individuals in these environments and Contour pride ourselves on our ability to provide suitable products.

Grilles and external TRV’s on all radiator guards are areas that should receive particular scrutiny, as these have been identified as potential ligature points.

These risks have therefore been analysed and addressed on all Contour anti-ligature radiator guard solutions, including:

• Secure Anti-Ligature mesh or grilles – our latest Anti-Ligature guard designs incorporate a grille using 2mm diameter holes at 4mm centres, set in a triangular formation, punched directly into the body of the guard. This removes the need for a separately welded mesh in the body of the guard.
• Anti-ligature TRV shrouds
• Internal fixings as standard
• A range of security fastenings – including pin-hex locks
• Anti-ligature base plates
