anti ligature window

 Click Here to read information provided by Charge Nurse Joe Forster

A cutting edge Low Secure Unit that cares for adult patients with mental illness and possible drug dependency. The hospital was built by Laing O'Rourke for Mersey care NHS trust. Mersey Care's Charge Nurse Joe Forster was instrumental in the development of our Safevent(TM) window. He could see its potential when a prototype was demonstrated and insisted on its use on Rathbone. Since the hospital opened in summer 2006 the window has been praised by patients and staff alike and Joe has become a leading advocate of the Safevent(TM) window.

Since this original order Mersey Care have ordered the Britplas Safevent(TM) Window at Broadgreen Hospital Broad Oak Unit, Fazakerley Hospital Stoddard Unit, Scott Clinic and Avalon Hospital.

Anti ligature window                    

 

Alpha Hospitals have built this Medium Secure Hospital in Sheffield to expand patient care at their existing women's rehabilitation unit. The project was already underway when our window was recommended to their estates department. A visit was arranged to Rathbone hospital to view the Safevent(TM) windows in situe. The estate and clinical staff where very impressed, and an order was placed soon after.

As part of the contract we also provided a link corridor conservatory and feature curtain walling.

 

 

Fairfield Hospital Bury Anti ligature window

 

After receiving an email about our Safevent(TM) window Bernhard Hadland (a manager from Costains) saw it's potential and arranged a meeting with us. We took him to visit Rathbone Hospital and see the windows in situe. He was very impressed and recommended our window for a mental health unit Costains were building for Pennine Care.

Pennine Care NHS Trust felt the Safevent(TM) window made so much difference, they are rolling it out across the trust.

 

As of December 2007 orders have been placed and / or completed at Stepping Hill Hospital, 4 x projects at Tameside Hospital, 2 x projects at Fairfield Hospital, Royal Oldham Hospital, Birch Hill Rochdale and more in the pipeline. 

 

Avalon Hospital Liverpool Anti ligature window

                      

 

The second mental health unit for Mersey Care NHS Trust.

After seeing first hand the benefits of our Safevent(TM) window with the Rathbone project, Laing O'Rourke did not need to involve any other window company, Safevent(TM) was automatically specified.

 

 

 

 

Tameside Hospital HDU ALUMINIUM Safevent(TM)

Anti ligature windows

Our second project for Pennine Care was a small extension. Aluminium Safevent(TM) windows were specified brown outside, white inside.

 

Tameside Hospital HDU

Anti ligature windows

Our third project for Pennine Care.

When a patient escaped from a bedroom window at the HDU, Joe Preshur head of security for Pennine Care, placed an order for Safevent(TM) windows. He had been on a visit to Rathbone initially and was happy with the work we had already done for Pennine Care. A wood effect uPVC was chosen for this project. Every window including offices and staff areas has been fitted with a Safevent(TM) window as it allows much more ventilation, is pleasing to look at, secures the room from inside and out and makes the room future proof should it be needed for a patient subsequently.

 

Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, Wotton Lawn

 Anti ligature window        

 

After having some regrettable incidents with their existing windows estates manager John Leech started a comprehensive search for the best replacement.

While surfing the Net he came across our Safevent(TM) window and contacted us. We arranged a visit for a group of staff to Rathbone Hospital where they were very impressed. They had narrowed the search down to two. They placed an order for a sample Safevent(TM) window to be fitted. They also had a rival company fit a sample window.

Due to it's appearance, the Safevent(TM) window was a big favourite from the start. But after extensive testing by the trust's staff and safety experts the Safevent(TM) was the undisputed first choice.

An order has been placed for Wotton Lawn and their Pine View Unit with more in the pipeline.

 

Littlemore Hospital Oxford, Women's forensic unit

Anti ligature windows     

GBS Architects of Oxford were searching for a window solution for various projects they had been given by Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire NHS Trust. They had our Safevent(TM) window recommended to them and were most impressed with it. So much so, orders were placed for five projects throughout the area in aluminium and uPVC.

Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire NHS Trust now specify the Safevent(TM) window.

The pictures adjacent show wood effect uPVC Safevent(TM) windows at the women's forensic unit and red aluminium Safevent(TM) windows at Littlemore hospitals cash office (the Safevent(TM) windows are totally secure from both sides).

 

Since the first projects were completed further orders have been placed, with more in the pipeline.

 

 

 

 

Thornford Park, Priory Health Care

 Anti ligature window                   

The estates manager for Priory Health Care came across the Safevent(TM) Website while searching for a window solution for there secure mental health units. We met at Thornford Park, Newbury where we were able to demonstrate the many benefits of the Safevent(TM) window.

A sample window was ordered for a live bedroom. Immediately after its installation an order was placed for the rest of the ward. We have since completed 5 new orders for Priory and have many orders to complete in 2008.

 

Bristol Grange, Priory Health Care

Anti ligature windows                    

Having already witnessed the robust construction of our Safevent(TM) windows, Britplas were called in to replace several existing wooden windows destroyed by a patient.

As you can see from the pictures the Safevent(TM) window can be made to match existing windows. These are oak effect uPVC outside and white inside.

 

Lucy Wade Unit, Mansfield

Anti ligature windows        

 

The Lucy Wade Unit is our first Safevent project for Nottinghamshire Healthcare. As well as Safevent windows for the unit, we constructed this conservatory with Safevent openers.

 

Nottingham Healthcare are currently in touch with us over future projects.

Another project for OBMH NHS Trust. This hospital has Medium Secure and Low Secure Wards. The original windows were large restricted wooden windows. A wood effect uPVC was chosen for the new Safevent windows in sympathy with the original design.

 

The Britplas Safevent window is a totally bespoke product that can be made any size and shape to fit in with your building.

Peasley Cross Hospital, St Helens    Anti ligature windows                           

     

The 5 Boroughs Partnership first approached us over a project they were working on in Warrington. They were well into the refurbishment when a member of the estates team visited Rathbone and realised the Safevent window be the best option for them. Unfortunately they had already contracted another window company and the cost of pulling out was prohibitive.

 

Their next project was Peasley Cross Hospital and an order was placed for Safevent windows. The Trust were so pleased with the performance of their new windows they sent us to Whiston Hospital to begin another refurbishment.

 

 

 

Whiston Hospital, St Helens    Anti ligature windows                           

     

The 5 Boroughs second project with us so far.

The Safevent windows were chosen to replace inadequate existing windows. As you can see from these pictures (the first floor windows are the originals) the existing restricted windows do not allow enough natural ventilation and the restrictor bar outside is an unmistakeable ligature risk.

The lower Safevent windows allow maximum ventilation and are simple and secure without the need for ugly add-ons like bars etc.

 

 

 

Fairfield Hospital, Bury    Anti ligature windows                           

     

Our seventh project for Pennine Care. The unusual choice of black aluminium (inside and out) actually looks fantastic as a finished product. A party from North East London MHT who were visiting the North West to view some Safevent windows were very impressed.

 

 

Ridge Lea Hospital, Lancaster    Anti ligature windows                        

  

     

Our First project for Lancashire Care.

 

Ridge Lea Hospital provides inpatient services for adults aged 16 to 65 including an acute admission ward, a low secure unit and a psychiatric intensive care unit.

 

A beautiful old stone building like Ridge Lea is more challenging to work with than a newer hospital. The results are still the same, higher levels of ventilation, warmer rooms in winter, cooler rooms in summer, happier staff and patients.

 

 

The Britplas Safevent(TM) window has been featured many times in the press.

It has also been officially recognised by our peers in the industry.

It has anti-ligature handles, and as it has no need for locks, this too helps its anti ligature status. If you are looking for the best anti ligature window for your hospital, LSU, MSU, HSU, HDU, PICU, ACUTE UNITS or forensic mental heath facility the anti ligature Safe Vent window is it. It has been installed at Rathbone LSU, Avalon Mental heath unit, Derby city hospital, Gloucestershire Royal Hospital Wotton lawn, Alpha Hospital Sheffield, Fairfield Hospital Bury, Littlemore Hospital Oxford and many more.

UPVC / STEEL / ALUMINIUM / WOOD. The Safevent window was originally designed for a secure unit hospital in Liverpool and is anti ligature. It gives the patient full control of the rooms ventilation (no vent size restrictions) while stopping the passing of contraband in or out and does not allow escape. We have a recording of the NHS test in which patients and staff attack the window with a wooden chair, a large lounge chair, a knife, a stereo, a TV, a pool cue, pool balls and physically kicking and grappling for an hour. The mesh is 1.5mm stainless steel powder coated black. The glass (left) in the slider (sash) is 6.4 Laminated, the glass in the fixed (right) is 10mm toughened. This is so they can test the inner and outer glass at the same time. We fit self-cleaning 6.4 Lami to the outside and 10mm toughened inside. The 10mm will take a great deal of punishment without damaging it, but if it does break, it disintegrates into small pieces. The 6.4 laminated glass will break more easily but holds together and will hinder escape. If you have any other glass preferences, we will be able to accommodate you. The test starts with a kicking attack on the mesh through the open window. Then they try a wooden chair and a brick on the mesh. Next is a scanner (simulating a personal stereo) being thrown at the glass. (The sound of breaking glass is from the scanner not the window). After this they swing a 3 pin (UK) plug at the glass trying to see if the metal pins have any effect. Then onto a TV/video which has no effect on the 10mm toughened but does crack the 6.4 Lami. The laminated holds together as demonstrated immediately after by attacking it with a snooker cue. A snooker ball is used after this. A large lounge chair is then pounded against the window until the chair falls apart. Back to the snooker cue on glass and mesh, then the brick again.

This SafeVent Anti-ligature or Anti Ligature window will help to save lives. It helps to prevent the patients from hanging themselves (anti ligature). It also prevents them from escaping and putting their lives at risk. It makes their stay at the hospital a much more pleasant experience. But it's biggest asset is it's anti ligature status.
