Galvin Engineering offers a range of ligature resistant, anti-ligature, vandal resistant, and anti-vandal products designed to reduce the risk of self-harm, suicide, or vandalism, but we cannot offer any guarantee that these events will not take place. Therefore, it is important to understand that installation of these products will not eliminate all risks.

When we use the terms ligature resistant and/or anti-ligature about our products, it means that we have designed and tested these products to reduce the risk of that product being used as a ligature attachment point. They will not protect or prevent injury when the risks were unknown to us at the time of the design of the products. They are not a replacement for professionals who are trained in the proper evaluation, management, and supervision of persons at risk of self-harm or suicide.

When we use the terms vandal resistant and/or anti-vandal about our products, it means that we have designed and tested these products to reduce the risk of that product being vandalised. They will not protect or prevent damage when the risks were unknown to us at the time of the design of the products.

Galvin Engineering recommends that designers, installers, facility managers, and anyone intending to rely on or use any products displayed in our literature or on our website, satisfy themselves about the suitability of the products for their intended use in the building design, and ensure they are being installed, used, and maintained in accordance with our instructions. Facility managers, clinicians, and carers need to ensure that reasonable steps are taken to reduce the accessibility of unnecessary ligatures to at-risk patients, confirm that adequate risk mitigation controls are in place, and make sure that applicable health, safety and patient care standards are being met.

Galvin Engineering makes no express or implied warranties regarding the ability of the product to prevent death or injury, to resist all ligature attachment, or to prevent vandalism. No responsibility is assumed by Galvin Engineering for any incidental or consequential damages resulting from the use of any products sold by Galvin Engineering. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Galvin Engineering excludes all liability for damage or injury to any person, damage to any property, and any indirect consequential claims, loss or damage.
