Edge protection system
 
We at SafetyLiftinGear were recently sub-contracted by a firm called Sweet Construct to provide a safe working area for a team of solar panel installers who were putting in a new set of panels on the roof of a building in Corsham, Wiltshire.
 
This job called for two permanent installations:
  • A permanent edge protection system. Since the roof did not have a parapet wall of at least 1.1 metres, we were asked to install a permanent edge protection barrier in order to comply with height safety regulations. We clamped the guardrail's base plates to the standing seam roof so as to avoid penetrating or damaging the roof sheets themselves.

  • A safe walkway. Sweet Construct also asked us to provide a level, slip-resistant walkway that would make it easy for maintenance staff to access the solar panels in future. Again, we clamped the walking surface to the standing seam roof sheets so as to avoid any permanent damage. 
 
Slip-resistant walkway
 
The walkway we used for this project is specifically designed for modern roof types such as trapezoidal profile composite or built-up-on-site and standing seam roofs. It is fully compliant with EN516:2006 requirements, and it can be used on a number of differently-shaped roofs (including flat, sloping, and barrel-shaped), with steps and a traverse option allowing for virtually any roof configuration between 0 and 35 degrees.
 
Not only did these two installations ensure that the Sweet Construct team were able to install these new solar panels safely and efficiently, they will also provide a safe working environment for the service personnel who'll be maintaining this solar panel system going forward.
 
SafetyLiftinGear supply and install a wide range of fall protection systems to meet any and all requirements. Please contact us today to request a quotation for your height safety solution.

As regular visitors to our blog and followers of our social media pages will know, at SafetyLiftinGear we place a particular emphasis on height safety as a priority in working environments. This is due not only to the sheer volume of accidents caused by poor height safety measures on a regular basis, but is also a reflection of the severe and often fatal nature of these incidents. That is why we make it a priority to promote the dangers of unsuitable height safety measures, and promote the responsible use of proper height safety measures and products.

For those who plan on undertaking tasks which involve working at height, be it as one-off project or as a regular element of your business, it is of vital importance that you are properly prepared with the correct fall protection systems. Whether your task involves working on a rooftop, ledge or at the side of a building, our selection of products will act as a failsafe in the event of a worker fall, preventing serious and fatal injuries. For your convenience, many of our safety line systems are also suitable for use by multiple persons at one time, allowing you to adapt the product to the demands of your job and workforce.

While our fall arresters are available to buy or rent for individuals who already have a fall protection system in place, our safety line, anchorage, and edge protection systems are available in a bespoke package upon request. Simply fill-in a price application form, and we will be able to provide you with a competitive price to suit all of your individual needs. For those who require a helping hand with the correct installation of these systems, we also offer a full installation service for many of our fall arrest products, so you can be sure that your new equipment is installed safely and correctly.
