Spruce design supply and fit all the major brands of Anti Ligature Rail systems which operate on the principles of friction, polymer distortion or magnetic coupling to provide the desired release mechanism. Fitting these systems requires a great deal of skill if they are to function reliably. The manufacturers have designed the release mechanisms to operate effectively only when the mounting points are properly secured and spaced along the rail, and adequate care is taken to install the units in a manner that allows the rail to collapse and prevent the attempted harm.

Our experience in auditing such systems leads us to believe that, in some cases, the true nature of the risk is not understood and persons who were not familiar with the operating principles have installed the rails.  In order to provide you with demonstrable proof of the efficiency of the installed anti-ligature systems we can provide a certificate and annual audit & test for all of your rails and Anti Ligature Equipment.

During the audit we carry out a visual inspection of the overall installation (from a single rail,or fitting to complete wards) highlighting any obvious faults and problems. Following this visual inspection we then continue to test the release characteristics of the systems. A controlled, measured, force is applied to specific points along the rails taking them to their release point. The force required to release is recorded along with any system faults identified during the process. see Ligature Issues

On completion of this audit and testing we will provide a full digital report detailing all of our findings including proof of effective release, which can be archived in your Health and Safety files for reference until the next annual test is due. Key Benefits we can supply this on any media you choose, and this year our clients can securley download there own reports direct from our site using ther individual username and password
