SAFETYWORKS & Solutions take roof safety to another level
SAFETYWORKS & Solutions proved once again why they have become the UK’s preferred manufacturer and supplier of fall protection systems, access solutions and support services, when they supplied the ideal roof safety solution for a company, based near Redhill in Surrey.
After completing a comprehensive site survey to establish the requirements of the project, SAFETYWORKS & Solutions specified a number of improvements that would enable maintenance operatives to make safe and easy access across the roof. The installation programme had to accommodate the use of a contract crane lift, which was necessary to help manoeuvre the products onto the roof without adversely affecting the roof structures by over loading.
To commence, 650m of Flexideck walkway system was installed, which not only helps to safeguard those going onto the roof with its non slip surface, but also protects the roof from damage caused by foot traffic.
Produced from 99% recycled polyethylene and GRP, Flexideck is lightweight, easily cleaned, and rot free, with component parts unaffected by UV and temperature change. Flexideck can be manufactured to suit any profile. Besides standard roof fixings Flexideck is non-penetrative, which means the roof’s integrity is not compromised during the installation process. Widely favoured by numerous architects, contractors, specifiers and builders for installation on many construction environments, Flexideck was specifically chosen for this project as it offers assured high performance and durability. Designed to be suitable for use with both new build and retrofit installations, Flexideck also carries a 25-year guarantee for total peace of mind.

Safety taken to another level. (BACK TO NEWS ITEMS)
Renowned as a company who are willing to ‘go the extra mile’ for their clients, SAFETYWORKS & Solutions levelled up the walk way around the roof’s perimeter on this particular project, by adjusting the bearers in order to ensure that the walkways were level. This process was completed pre delivery and did not require any additional time or expense – much to the delight of the client!
To conclude, Uniline 8mm Stainless Steel System was installed to the roof allowing "hands free" protection throughout the length of the system, where the operator is attached via a link device that glides over the brackets without the need to detach from the fall protection system. Uni 8 is manufactured from 316 stainless steel enhanced through electro polishing which results in the system components being suitable for heavy use in demanding environments.
As part of their comprehensive customer service, the products were then fully tested and duly certified for twelve months by SAFETYWORKS, a service that they will again provide to their client in twelve months time.
