Our hospital received a supplemental recommendation for EC.1.10 in our psychiatric unit. The reference was to the potential for hanging oneself from grab bars and ceilings. The bathrooms have hard ceilings, but the patient rooms do not. I see that there is a requirement in the 2001 AIA Guidelines for Design and Construction for tamper resistant ceilings. Would clips of the tiles suffice? Also, no mention is made of grab bars.
