The ONLY Ligature Resistant Surface Mounted Solution For CMS, ADA and NFPA-101 Life Safety Code Compliance
The ONLY Ligature Resistant Surface Mounted Solution For CMS, ADA and NFPA-101 Life Safety Code Compliance
The Problem: The Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has required in CFR 482.13 that psychiatric and
behavioral health facilities maintain ligature “resistant” or ligature “free” environments.
Many existing fire extinguisher or extinguisher cabinet installations present a ligature risk
and an immediate jeopardy situation.
With Oval, there is no need to cut holes into existing walls for compliant cabinets.
Ligature risk deficiencies do not qualify for Life Safety Code (LSC) waivers, and therefore,
an LSC waiver may not be granted.
