Healthy approach to roof safety

Safesite has provided Frimley Park Hospital with falls from height protection to ensure safe access for maintenance and repair of plant and equipment situated on its roofs.

The recent work has involved the installation of System 2000 as part of a ward extension in addition to the removal and replacement of previously installed systems while reroofing work was being carried out.

System 2000 is the only BBA approved cantilever guardrail system and is useful when regular access is required. The guardrail's freestanding design means that it does not need to be mechanically fixed to the roof itself overcoming the risk of damage to the roof's membrane which can cause water penetration, costly repairs and insurance invalidation.
