The Department of Health have issued an alert to all medical facilities advising of the rick to children within their buildings. They have instructed all facility managers to carry out risk assesments for their blinds to reduce the chance of harm to the public when visiting the facilities.

Briant Curtaining Ltd along with Blind Manufactures all over the world have been very concerned about the risks for some time, particularly in light of recent tragic events. Manufactures have now come up with some solutions to hopefully prevent this happening in the future.

With the “MAKE IT SAFE “campaign and the relevant European Standard (EN 13120:2009) the British Blind and Shutter Association has given guide lines to both its members and blind manufactures, and has enrolled company’s as an accredited “MAKE IT SAFE” company., these will soon appear on a brand new web site www.makeitsafe.org.uk .

Briant Curtaining have signed up to this scheme and taken steps to adopt these systems and training their staff accordingly.

To ensure the safety of schools, colleges, Surgery’s ect… are protected Briant’s can offer a free survey of your existing blinds and provide you with a quotation should there be need to bring in these new systems.

Please call 024 7671 3334 to arrange an appointment for your free survey, or e-mail us on bc@briantcurtaining.co.uk.
