Behavioral Health Secure Noticeboard – Safety First In Healthcare Settings.
In environments where patient safety is a priority—such as psychiatric wards, rehabilitation centers, and correctional facilities—every detail matters. From the furniture design to the wall fixtures, reducing potential risks is paramount. One of the most overlooked but essential pieces in such settings is the secure noticeboard.
Proenc, a trusted name in ligature-resistant furniture, has developed a range of tough, safety-focused noticeboards designed specifically for high-risk environments. Their commitment to patient safety is visible in every detail of construction, materials, and design.
What Is a Behavorial Health Secure Noticeboard?
A secure noticeboard is not your typical corkboard or pinboard. These units are engineered to be tamper-resistant, ligature-resistant, and durable. In secure or mental health environments, patients may be at risk of self-harm or may attempt to remove fixtures from the wall. A regular noticeboard, when misused, can become a hazard.
Proenc’s solution? A tough, fully enclosed unit with no exposed edges, ligature points, or breakable materials.
Ligature Reduction at the Core
Ligature reduction is at the heart of Proenc’s design philosophy. Their secure noticeboards are manufactured with:
Sloped tops and bottom edges to prevent cords or fabric from being tied
Unbreakable polycarbonate viewing panels that offer visibility without fragility
Anti-pick mastic seals that eliminate tampering around the frame
Steel-reinforced locking mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access
These features work together to minimize the risk of harm, ensuring staff and patients interact safely with displayed information such as treatment schedules, safety notices, or daily activities.
Proenc’s Approach to Tough Furniture
Proenc is not new to the behavioral health and custodial sectors. Their reputation for tough furniture has been built on supplying secure enclosures for TVs, clocks, and now noticeboards. Each product undergoes rigorous real-world testing to ensure it can withstand impact, tampering, and misuse in the most challenging environments.
The secure noticeboard is a natural extension of their ligature-resistant product line, manufactured in the USA using heavy-gauge steel, vandal-resistant fasteners, and industrial powder-coated finishes.
