Discrete ladder system provides safe access
June 1st 2007 Safety at Height, working
closely with specialist
installer HRS Services, has
provided an integral fall
arrest PivotLoc ladder
system to a new office
building in Manchester.
PivotLoc is a foldable
ladder system with GlideLoc
fall protection rail which is
said to offer a cost
effective, safe solution. The
ladder can be closed when
not in use to prevent
unauthorised access.
The device provides a
discrete, secure solution, and
blends with the aesthetic
appearance of the building.
Project architect, Albert
Sutton, says "What we
wanted was a safe means of
access to the upper roof
area by positioning abseil
rails that did not detract
from the appearance of the
façade. The PivotLoc ladders
fulfiled this requirement as
they close and lock when
not in use."
Andy Russell, MD of
Russell Construction, adds
"This is the first time we
have used PivotLoc. It
offered a neat, safe and
discrete solution for our
client." More articles from Safety At Height Ltd: |
