Arkisafe has delivered a wide range of solutions for the secured residential institution Koglen, all of which radiate normality while preventing young people from getting hurt.

From our range of safe and suicidal products we have supplied: curtains, bed with attached mattress, desk, wardrobe, chair, vandal-proof watch, waste bin, toilet, sink, mirror, toilet roll holder, toilet brush and holder, suicidal hooks, suicidal protective brackets for securing door hinges and toothbrushes.

The sink is extremely robust and produced in high quality polyester gelcoat. The design is specially adapted to challenged environments and is vandal-safe and without ligature points (anti-ligatures). The sink is aesthetically pleasing and fits nicely with the wall-mounted safe toilet. The series is an ideal solution for use in, among other things, psychiatry, prisons and places of residence.

“Every year at the secured residential institution Koglen we receive between 40 and 60 crime-threatening and convicted children and young people from all over the country. In several cases, there has been a need to ensure the continued development and well-being of young people by, among other things, establishing a special youth room that better meets the individual needs of the young person.

We regularly receive young people who react strongly after a placement. Either by being outwardly responsive, where the experience is often that young people try to engage in vandalism to a not insignificant extent, or by exhibiting self-harm and/or suicidal behaviour,” says Steffen Albertsen. Head of Department Koglen

The aim of the boiler has been to establish a room that prevents young people from being injured on the basis of a principle that the room and the associated bathroom are built and decorated with a choice of materials that radiates normality – i.e. not steel toilets and trailer bottom plates, etc.

In the bathroom, Koglen has chosen in cooperation with Arkisafe the following solutions that Arkisafe has delivered:

  • Wall-hung ligature and vandal-proof toilet, toilet brush and toilet paper holder.
  • The sink is ligature and vandal-proof, there are no visible pipes here. Mirror and soap holder are also secured.
  • Hook holder with suicidal hooks that trigger themselves at a load of 7 kg.
  • Universal bracket to reduce ligature points in the door at door hinges.
