About BSP

Behavioral Safety has an unwavering commitment to the safety and humanity of patients’ lives. Our mission is driven by a passionate dedication to saving lives and simultaneously enhancing the quality of their environment.

Behavioral Safety’s origins extend far beyond its establishment in 2008, reaching back to the 1980s with our late co-founder, Lee deLoache. During this period, BSP gained foundational experience by leading the design, construction, and monitoring of over 75 behavioral hospitals with Charter Medical, the largest provider of behavioral hospitals at the time.

This period also shaped what would become the next generation of leadership at BSP. Our current owner and CEO, David deLoache, often accompanied his father to job sites, literally growing up in the behavioral industry and gaining a lifetime of experience, serving their unique needs.

These foundational roots, combined with on-site analysis and problem-solving within behavioral facilities, provided BSP with the expertise needed to innovate industry-changing ligature-resistant building products. This groundbreaking work set a new standard in the behavioral industry, establishing BSP as a leader in safety and design.

The evolution of BSP continues, as we consistently introduce innovative suicide-deterring building products that surpass industry standards. We do so while carefully considering the myriad of nuances present in behavioral health settings, ensuring our solutions are both effective and responsive to the unique needs of these environments.

Drawing from our extensive experience, we leverage unparalleled innovation to effectively counter present suicide attempts and anticipate and address potential future experimental efforts by patients.

    I greatly appreciate the assistance the team at BSP has provided us throughout the course of design and into construction. You have been very patient with what may have seemed like never-ending questions. I find it invaluable to have vendors, such as BSP, who are patient, thorough, and take the time to understand our project needs.

    The team at Behavioral Safety Products has been a terrific partner in our efforts to update our older behavioral health inpatient units. Many of the units have dated spaces that have odd fixtures and required retrofitting to be installed. They have helped us on multiple projects and even worked with their distributor to speed up delivery time in order for us to meet internal deadlines. BSP has been a pleasure to work with and a great resource for our facilities team.
