Fall Protection Systems

Rooftop Fall Protection Systems to Avoid Accidents

A large number of deaths in the workplace continue to result from falls from height. These can be prevented with adequate roof fall protection systems and it is the responsibility of every employer to ensure they take all available steps to try to guarantee the safety of their workers as much as possible.

All roofs are different in terms of their construction and features, and the way in which they’re accessed. Consequently, there are a number of types of roof protection systems to safeguard them adequately.

Providing the Right Type of Roof Fall Protection

Workers may need to access a roof for various reasons, typically for maintenance and servicing purposes. When they do this, several different hazards are presented, such as:

• the edge of the roof itself, where OSHA states that anyone working within fifteen of it requires some form of protection
• skylights that workers can fall through unless some type of protection is provided
• adjoining roofs that are connected, at different levels, and have a difference of at least six feet between them so that the higher edge requires protection.

Different types of protection or roof tie off systems can be provided, such as:

• guardrails that create a barrier between the hazard and the workers so that falls do not occur
• restraints, such as anchor points and lifelines that prevent the workers getting too near hazards and so prevent a fall
• fall arrest systems that may be necessary when workers have to be right on top of a hazard and do not prevent a fall but stop it after it has occurred before any harm is done.

Keeping Workers Safe with Industrial Fall Protection

Our roof anchors are of the highest quality, are durable even in extreme weather conditions and are reliable so they’ll ensure worker safety. They’re also designed to be reasonably unobtrusive and aesthetically pleasing so they don’t spoil the appearance of your roof. Most importantly of all, they’re all compliant with OSHA regulations so you can be sure you’re operating within safety standards.

Our systems enable workers to operate hands-free and in complete safety so they’ll have the confidence to get on with the job. They can be easily incorporated into new builds or retrofitted to existing buildings with equal effectiveness.

Fitting the systems isn’t enough on its own, however. You also need to ensure that all your workers are familiar with their proper use and receive full training to be able to work safely at height. Additionally, systems need to be inspected and tested regularly, typically every twelve months, to ensure they’re still effective and able to comply with current legislation, which may change.

We can provide portable and temporary fall protection as well as permanent systems, we can also provide roof anchor certification. To do that effectively, we need to assess the roofs you’ll be working on and the type of work that will be undertaken. We can then supply and install exactly the systems you need to ensure all your workers are kept as safe as possible.
