| Our
Philosophy
Our goal at Ferguson Safety Products is to make the hard job of managing
inmates and patients easier, safer, and cheaper. We take the time
to test and review every facet of the design of our products. The
materials we use in every product are researched thoroughly to make sure
it is the right thing for the most effective safety product available.
We rely greatly on comments and suggestions from correctional mental
health, medical and security professionals to guide us. Your comments
tell us what you need in order to do your job and we take them all quite
seriously.
We are an old fashioned company in that we believe in providing you
with strong, durable, long-lasting products. We are determined to
maintain the high standards called for of the first company to produce
garments and bedding for suicidal inmates.Our
main product line is known for its incredible lifespan. It is not
unusual for us to contact customers that have not purchased from us for
over five years and find that this is because our products are still serving
them well. We held off releasing our mattress for suicidal inmates
until we could be sure we’d developed a cover fabric that was the strongest
in the world and would not crack or peel for more than 20 years.
We’re also old fashioned when it comes to customer service.When
you call us during business hours you can expect a human to answer the
phone. There’s no time limit on our standard product guarantee.When
we make mistakes, we knock ourselves out to make things right.
Ferguson insists on quality throughout. Every one of our quilted
products has gone through four separate inspections before it is sent to
you. By the time you receive one of our mattresses it has gone through
at least four inspections and carries the Ferguson guarantee. If,
at any time, you are dissatisfied with any Ferguson Safety product you
can return it for a full refund.
We stand behind all of our products. Should one of our products
become damaged we ask that you send it to us so our lab can inspect it
and find out what happened. Any failure due to faulty materials or
workmanship will result in us replacing the product for free. If
the damage was caused by a weapon or tool of some sort we will contact
you and if it can be repaired to a safe status we can arrange for it to
be done at cost.
Our Office
We are located in the historic Old Sash Mill at 303 Potrero Street in
Santa Cruz, California. Santa Cruz is situated about 70 miles south of
San Francisco, on the Monterey Bay. It has long been a tourist town, a
retreat from inland heat, and famed for its boardwalk and surfing spots.
Our office is on land that was once the Santa Cruz Mission's pasture land
-- Potrero is the Spanish word for pasture. Our
building was a factory that converted the giant redwoods of the Santa Cruz
Mountains into window sashes for the rebuilding of San Francisco after
the 1906 earthquake and fire. |
