Equipment
The services we provide will meet your requirements where working at height is unavoidable.
Those planning work at height must: Avoid work at height where they can, use work equipment or other measures to prevent falls where they cannot avoid working at height and where they cannot eliminate the risk of a fall, use work equipment or other measures to minimise the distances and consequences of a fall should one occur.
Every employer should ensure that work at height is:
a) Properly planned
b) Appropriately supervised and
c) Carried out in a safe manner
They must also ensure that planning includes the selection of work equipment in accordance with regulations.
We specialise in installing and maintaining a wide variety of equipment and are happy to provide you with advice on any access solutions you may require.
Examples include:
Guarding against the risk
Ladder Restraints
Prevents ladder slip/fall
Ladder ties and restraints are installed where access via a portable ladder is a permanent requirement. These remove the need for an additional person to secure the ladder and also provide extra safety and security for the operative.
Mobile Deadweight Anchors
To be used in conjunction with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Mobile Deadweight Anchors provide restraint protection for one person. The system, mainly for use on roofs up to a 5 degree pitch, features a central attachment point, using rubber bonded weights to maximise suction and safety.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
To be used in conjunction with work restraints, work positioning and fall arrest products
Personal Protective Equipment includes harnesses, lanyards, inertia reel devices and rope grabs as required in accordance with BS8437 2005 the code of practice for the selection, use and maintenance of personal fall protection systems and equipment for use in the workplace.
Safety Harness Eyebolts
Permanent anchorage points for harness attachments
Our safety harness Eyebolts can be installed and fitted to a variety of building fabrics and structures and can be provided in a number of finishes. As well as provision, we also test and maintain the eyebolt, which is a requirement of the British Standard 7883. All our staff are equipped with the correct calibrated testing equipment to undertake such a task
Signage
General Health and Safety signage and warning notices for guidance purposes
We can supply general information, hazard warning, mandatory and bespoke signage to meet all your Health & Safety requirements.
Static Access Ladders, Platforms and Walkways
Permanent solutions for inaccessible areas.
Bespoke Access Ladders and Walkways provide permanent access solutions for the workplace where continuous access is required.
Suspended Access Cradle Equipment
Permanent Access for facade maintenance
We offer a wide range of Bespoke Suspended Access Systems, including monorails, gantries, trolley units and roof mounted davit jibs. Much of the equipment is provided and manufactured by OTTE, one of Europe’s leading suppliers of Building Maintenance Units (BMUs).
Travelling Ladder Systems
Permanent Access for facade maintenance
Bespoke travelling ladder systems can be designed to be integrated into vertical facades as an alternative to standard cradle systems. These are usually used where you have areas of vertical or sloping glass.
Vertical and Horizontal Safety Wire Systems
To allow access to work areas where guarding against the hazard cannot be adopted
When maintenance is required on roof areas that have little or no edge protection, we can provide and install safety harness attachment systems. All systems are approved and tested in accordance with current European Standards.
