Man Safe Systems

In the current climate safety has now rightly become of paramount importance to everybody. The safety of staff, customers, contractors and the public can no longer be neglected. Employers and those in control of any work at height activity must make sure all work is properly planned, supervised and carried out by competent people. This includes using the right type of equipment for working at height. Low-risk, relatively straightforward tasks will require less effort when it comes to planning. At AB Roofing solutions we are fully trained and up to date with HSG:33 and offer a wide range of safety systems for working on or accessing roofs which will enable safe access and working onto your roof areas.

Some of the systems we use are detailed below:

Man Safe Systems & Safety Line Systems

There are many reasons why it is almost impossible to completely stop the need for roof access. Reducing risk factors to make the working at height as safe as possible can be achieved in a number of ways and prove to be very cost effective if repeat access is required.

AB Roofing can provide man-safe and safety line systems designed to enable safe access across roofs which have fragile surfaces (such as rooflights) or to access gutter areas for the annual gutter maintenance. It may be that you have a particularly large premises and roof access to service plant or air handling units is necessary. The man safe systems can be fixed lines, anchor posts or eye bolts fitted systematically to provide fall restraint situations and never fall arrest.

Regular inspections and certification will also be required to any installation.

Handrails Systems & Edge Protection

AB Roofing can provide handrails and edge protection designed to enable safe passage across roofs which have which require access for any reason. It may be that you have a particularly large premises and roof access to service plant or air handling units is necessary. Any systems installed will comply with the up to date industry regulations.
