Glasgow, Soctland's, health board was told to remove plastic garbage can liners from all its mental health wards and facilities after two patients took their own lives, according to an article on the Evening Times website.
The action was ordered by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), which has been called in to investigate the deaths at the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) facilities.
The ban is unusual, a HSE spokeswoman said, and has not been extended to other NHS boards in Scotland.
A spokeswoman said: "HSE is investigating the deaths of two patients on mental health wards at Stobhill and Dykebar hospitals.
The HSE said the ban has not been extended to other boards because its immediate concern is investigating the two incidents. However, it will be contacting NHS Scotland officials to discuss appropriate safety standards across the board.
