Fire protection in mental health care facilities presents unique challenges, requiring solutions that ensure both fire safety and patient well-being. Traditional fire suppression systems, such as traditional sprinklers, can pose risks due to their design and are also an unpopular choice with the potential for excessive water damage.
This presentation will explore innovative alternatives that offer a safer approach. Systems with anti-ligature design and targeted mist-based suppression, reduce fire risks without introducing self-harm hazards. They can ensure rapid activation while minimising false alarms. Learn how advanced fire protection systems are helping to create a safer, more secure environment for patients and caregivers, addressing both safety and mental health needs.
