Designed for Maximum Patient Safety and Compliance
When it comes to furnishing secure patient environments—especially in behavioral health or psychiatric settings—every fixture must be engineered with intent. One essential item often overlooked is the sloped top and bottom analog clock enclosure. Specifically designed for high-risk areas, this anti-ligature solution not only safeguards patients but ensures regulatory compliance and peace of mind for facility managers.
Why Sloped Top and Bottom Clock Enclosures Matter
In environments where patient safety is paramount, traditional wall clocks can present significant risks. Flat-top enclosures or exposed clocks may allow opportunities for concealment or self-harm. By contrast, sloped top and bottom clock enclosures eliminate potential anchor points.
Key Features:
Anti-ligature sloped design prevents item placement or tampering
Shatter-resistant polycarbonate viewing panel
Tamper-proof fixings for added security
Ventilation slots to prevent fogging without compromising safety
Custom fit for standard 12” or 15” analog clocks
These enclosures are ideal for psychiatric units, detention centers, rehab facilities, and behavioral health rooms, where even minor oversights can have serious consequences.
Compliance with Joint Commission and FGI Guidelines
Healthcare facilities are under increasing scrutiny from regulatory bodies such as The Joint Commission (JCAHO) and the Facility Guidelines Institute (FGI). The use of sloped clock enclosures helps facilities meet National Patient Safety Goals (NPSGs) by mitigating ligature risks and preventing unauthorized tampering with devices mounted in patient-accessible zones.
Installing these enclosures contributes directly to:
Reducing self-harm risks
Maintaining therapeutic environments
Meeting inspection standards during audits
Where to Install Sloped Clock Enclosures
Behavioral Health Units
In high-acuity psychiatric areas, clocks must remain visible but completely inaccessible for manipulation. These enclosures provide durable, safe, and compliant solutions.
Secure Patient Rooms
Each patient room in a behavioral unit needs fixtures that align with anti-ligature design principles. Clocks fitted in sloped enclosures allow patients to keep track of time without compromising safety.
Correctional Healthcare Facilities
These rugged units are also favored in correctional institutions with medical wards, where ligature prevention is critical and security is non-negotiable.
Material Durability and Tamper Resistance
Constructed from robust, powder-coated steel or aluminum, and finished with high-impact polycarbonate fronts, these enclosures are designed to endure attempts at vandalism or tampering. Their smooth, angled surfaces allow no room for concealment or ligature points, aligning with modern-day facility safety architecture.
Easy Maintenance and Long-Term Value
Despite their secure design, these enclosures are easy to maintain. The tamper-proof locks allow authorized staff to access the clock inside for battery changes or adjustments. Since the polycarbonate screen resists scratching and fogging, the time remains clearly visible—reducing frustration and maintaining routine for patients.
Furthermore, the enclosures are engineered for quick retrofitting into existing patient rooms, minimizing downtime and installation costs.
