Work at height risk minimised
February 1st 2009 Shepherd Construction has reduced
work at height risk at its Riverlights
scheme by pre-planning its use of
Combisafe's Steel Mesh Barrier.
Instead of fixing the barriers to the
steelwork once the frame was erect,
the team constructed everything on
the ground before craning them into
place, significantly reducing the need
to work at height.
The £28m project in Derby, to
construct a bus station, two hotels,
bars and restaurants as part of phase
one is well underway. Work started
last summer and is scheduled for
completion in March 2010.
Craig Gibbons, Riverlights' site
manager said: "Minimising the need
to work at height is a priority for us.
With some simple, pre-planning with
the temporary edge protection, we
significantly reduced the risk for our
workers." More articles from Combisafe International Limited: |
