Mental health inpatient facilities have a responsibility to safeguard their patients from ligature risks presented by curtain tracking, curtains and blinds. Additionally, anti-ligature curtain tracking must be checked/tested annually in order to conform with NHS HBN-0010.

Here at Custom Group, we have pioneered and developed the UK’s first digital anti-ligature testing safety audit for curtain tracks, curtains and blinds, called Safer-Track. With end-to-end accountability, our most advanced reporting yet and self-service access through our customer portal, Custom Group should be the default choice for your anti-ligature testing. In fact, over 100+ public and private sector healthcare customers, operating over 500+ sites now choose us to help safeguard their patients.

Using our industry-leading anti-ligature track testing service, we’ll inspect, test and verify that your products offer the correct level of protection, providing you with a detailed, room-by-room audit report, including recommendations.

Your properties and audit reports can be managed directly from our free-of-charge Safer-Track customer portal. The portal summarises the audit status of each property, and enables you to download reports and even configure your own email alerts for properties with expiring audits.

Why choose Safer-Track?

Here’s why you should choose Safer-Track for your anti-ligature testing:

Accurate results: The app validates data on entry and contains a range of alerts and fail-safes to ensure test results are complete and accurate. Data is saved immediately into the cloud for fast, easy access.
Clear reporting: 100% digitally created reports provide the user with clear, colour-coded, and easy-to-understand summary-level data on a room-to-room basis. For users that require more in-depth data, cross-referenced, detailed load-testing reports are provided after the summary section.
Innovation not imitation: We are pioneers in this sector, offering the first independent safety ligature audit service for curtain tracking and blinds in 2010. While rival testing providers have attempted to replicate our system and report format, our software remains the most technologically advanced and our reports more comprehensive and intuitive. More importantly, the benefits of 15 years of experience in performing safety ligature audits cannot be replicated!
Total Independence: At Custom Group, we are completely independent of the main anti-ligature tracking and blind manufacturers. This enables us to audit and report without any bias or motive to favour a particular product or manufacturer. This is a direct contrast to some of our testing rivals who purport to be independent, yet are under common ownership with an anti-ligature product brand.
