Our end-to-end fall protection services
Guardrails edge protection
Guardrails are designed to completely remove the risk of a fall from height. They act as a physical barrier and mean workers do not need to be trained to use or inspect them, removing the need to wear personal fall protective equipment (FPE).
Collective fall protection
Collective fall protection solutions are designed to protect more than one person falling from height. They protect all employees collectively without them needing a harnesses or restrictive working line.
Ladder safety systems
Safety when ascending and descending a ladder system remains paramount but also it is important that the worker can complete the work by ascending and descending comfortably and without restrictions.
Davit arm systems
By providing height and outreach, davits offer a point of attachment that is convenient for its user. Due to the high overturning loads that can be generated by davit systems, it is essential that stability is provided by a base system or socket that is suitable for the task.
Abseil systems
Abseiling can provide safe and efficient access for buildings. We can provide an end-to-end service for abseil rails and anchors, from design and installation, through to inspection and certification.
