The purpose of this chapter is to detail the policies and procedures for the utilization of safeguarding equipment and mechanical restraints. Every effort should be made to reduce or eliminate the use of mechanical restraints and safeguarding equipment in favor of less restrictive measures. The use of mechanical restraints and safeguarding equipment must be justified by health and safety concerns related to preventing behaviors that may cause significant injury or other compromise to the health and well-being of the individual or others. Individuals are to be provided appropriate behavioral supports in accordance with best practices.
