Safe roof access
June 1st 2007 Safetyworks & Solutions
has recently completed an
installation on behalf of the
London Borough of Camden.
Maintenance crews and
external contractors require
regular access to the roof of
flats on the Oakshot Estate,
Euston, so achieving safe
and secure access compliant
with the HSE guidelines was
identified as a priority.
For safe movement around
the roof, Easyguard
permanent free-standing
handrails were installed in
conjunction with two
bespoke steel walkways.
Easyguard is galvanised to
BS/EN 1461 and is
lightweight in design and
easy to assemble.
For this particular
installation, the handrail
was powder coated over
galvanised steel to enhance
the aesthetics of the system.
Easyguard's base plates
are fitted with bonded,
ribbed rubber mats which
include an EPDM foam infill.
The infill reduces heat
transference to the roof
membrane, thereby helping
to reduce membrane
degradation. More articles from Safetyworks & Solutions Limited: |
