Additional Considerations

~ The Waiting - Secure is to be located in close proximity to a reception area or staff station. Public amenities should be located in close proximity. ~ Requirements for the selection of suitable finishes, hardware, fixtures and fittings of a type manufactured and marketed as anti-ligature (including any weight limits for load release for certain fixtures) must be confirmed at project level based on service requirements, patient safety policies, local design guidance, risk assessments and confirmation of operational models. This includes the door, door hardware, joinery surfaces, joinery hardware, engineering services outlets and any ceiling mounted fixtures and services. All tamper proof and anti-ligature items must be installed in accordance with their manufacturer's instructions. Anti-ligature fittings may require a performance solution to be provided for the room to meet accessibility requirements. This must be considered and addressed at project level to meet applicable legislation and standards (to be confirmed with the project accessibility and building code consultants). ~ All glazing (including external windows) is to be Grade A safety glass to comply with AS/NZS 2208 and AS 1288. Toughened and laminated glass with a structural interlayer is recommended. Additional requirements for glazing are to be confirmed at project level to suit the specific mental health environment (i.e. non-acute, acute, intensive care). ~ Based on a risk assessment, ceiling height is to be confirmed at a project level in combination with considerations for FF&E selection to ensure consumers cannot reach or cause damage to the ceiling or services located on the ceiling. ~ Consider the location of wi-fi access points to ensure strong coverage is provided for mobile duress functions. ~ Unique considerations for Intensive Care and Child and Adolescent areas are to be confirmed at project level to suit jurisdictional policies ~ The selection of finishes in rooms for mental health units is to be carefully considered to support the provision of a welcoming, warm and therapeutic atmosphere and should aim to eliminate an institutional feel. ~ Security provisions for access to the room to be considered to suit local jurisdictional policies and operational services requirements.
