How to Choose Suicide Prevention Equipment
Start from the individual and environmental risk assessment for the room or unit. The setting drives the specification:
- a seclusion room usually calls for a welded, water-resistant seclusion mattress
- an observation bedroom may need a tear-resistant mattress, pillow and blanket
- where clothing presents a risk, tear-resistant gowns, shorts and t-shirts replace standard garments
Items from the range are designed to be combined, so a complete room can be equipped with matching mattress, bedding and clothing in one enquiry.
Practical points to confirm before requesting a quotation:
- Cleaning and infection control: the RoccoShield seclusion mattress has a welded construction and a water-resistant FluidStop cover for fast cleaning.
- Sizing: the TearSafe gown is one size at 125 cm in length, with larger XXXL options available.
- Durability: the seamless Tear Resistant Mattress, with its FlexGuard PU coating, is built to withstand prolonged manipulation that defeats stitched anti-tear products.

Who Provides This Equipment
Under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, employers and service providers must identify hazards, assess the risks to staff and to others affected by their work, and put controls in place. Where a service cares for people at risk of self-harm or suicide, equipment that reduces ligature and tearing risk is one of the controls a provider can put in place and point to against its own risk assessments.
Mental health and residential services in Ireland are also subject to registration and inspection, and how a provider manages environmental risk, including ligature risk, is a routine part of that oversight. In practice, the controls identified in a risk assessment, including the physical products, need to be in place and in serviceable condition, not just listed in a policy.

Suicide Prevention Equipment FAQs

Match the product to the assessed risk and the room. Seclusion rooms usually need the welded seclusion mattress; bedrooms may need the tear-resistant mattress, pillow and blanket; clothing items address risks from standard garments. The products are designed to be combined into a complete room specification. If you are unsure, describe the setting in your enquiry and the team will advise.
The Anti Suicide Gown is one size at 125 cm with larger XXXL options, and tear-resistant pillows come in blue and white. Sizes, colours and options for every item are listed on its product page and can be confirmed during quotation.
