Anti-ligature solutions: Creating safe spaces for vulnerable people
At Lakeside Construction Services Ltd, we understand the importance of creating environments that keep vulnerable people safe. Anti-ligature solutions are essential in high-risk settings like mental health units, prisons, and secure facilities, where even everyday fixtures can pose a danger.
We specialise in designing and installing anti-ligature systems that meet safety regulations while maintaining a welcoming atmosphere.
Anti-ligature design refers to features that prevent the attachment of ligatures (ropes, cords, etc.) to reduce the risk of accidental or intentional self-harm or injury. These safety measures are crucial in environments where people may be at risk of harming themselves or others.

Bathrooms often pose the highest risk. Our anti-ligature bathroom accessories include specially designed taps, towel rails, and shower heads to eliminate potential attachment points, ensuring both safety and functionality.
In high-risk settings, even light fixtures must be designed with safety in mind. Recessed lighting fixtures eliminate any risk of ligature, and tamper resistant covers ensure that the fixtures themselves cannot be dismantled or used as ligature points.
Even ventilation and HVAC systems can pose ligature risks if not properly designed. Anti-ligature grilles and vents typically have smaller openings or recessed designs that reduce the risk while still providing adequate airflow. And tamper proof and ligature-resistant casings for air conditioning units or heating systems can ensure these don’t become a hazard.
At Lakeside Construction Services Ltd, we provide anti-ligature solutions that meet industry regulations and safety standards. By working closely with architects and clients, we ensure every element from doors to lighting is designed to reduce risk and protect vulnerable people.
As well as getting involved in the planning and installation stages, we can help on a reactive and responsive basis, helping to make sure current fittings are up to standard and replacing or updating them as necessary.
