Safe roof access
October 1st 2008 System 2000 cantilevered
guardrail from Safesite has
been installed at
Brandshatch Hotel & Spa in
Kent to ensure safe access
to the hotel's roofs for
maintenance purposes.
Following a survey and
assessment of the roof areas
by Safesite, specially
fabricated inclined access
steps and a vertical access
ladder have been installed
to allow safe access to the
different roof levels, while
System 2000 freestanding
guardrail has been installed
to provide edge protection
on the roofs themselves.
The design of the BBAapproved
guardrail provided
a permanent solution
without the need to
mechanically fix the
protection to the roof itself.
The company says the
design overcomes the
problems often associated
with permanent fixing which
can damage the roof
membrane, causing leaks
and invalidating a roof's
protection guarantee.
Safesite is committed to
ensuring that work at height
is carried out safely and
offers advice regarding
compliance with the latest
legislation, CPD training and
workplace health and safety. More articles from Safesite Limited: |
