Test & inspect

Eurosafe Solutions is advising building owners to ensure their fall protection systems on roofs are being properly tested and inspected, as the compensation culture means businesses who do not address this are putting themselves at great risk.

Director of Eurosafe Solutions John Boyle said: "Some businesses still don't realise how much of a risk they are taking by not keeping their fall protection systems fully tested and up to date with inspections.

"Different fall protection systems have different requirements and frequencies for their testing and inspection and failure to keep these up to date can mean huge risks to employees and contractors accessing the roof." Eurosafe Solutions has 20 years' experience in fall protection testing and inspection for buildings.
