A winner at Fratton Park
July 1st 2009 Safesite's Horizontal Lifeline system
has been installed at Fratton Park,
home to Portsmouth Football Club,
to enable safe maintenance of the
ground's match screen.
The screen is situated on the
control room roof and is accessed via
a scaffold ladder at the rear. Workers
are normally protected by a fixed
collapsible guardrail system;
however, during matches and other
events the front elevation guardrail
has to be removed so that it does not
interfere with the screen's visibility.
Consequently a safe system was
required which would allow
operatives to remove the guardrail
and then re-install it after matches
and events. Safesite's Horizontal
Lifeline has been installed to vertical
supporting beams with the cable
visible just above the top of the
screen. This allows operatives safe
access to the front of the screen and
continual 'hands free' fall protection
throughout the length of the system. More articles from Safesite Limited: |
