Frequent roof access for maintenance at an office and warehousing facility in Orgreave, Sheffield, presented safety challenges that needed addressing.
The Challenge:
Frequent roof access was required at the facility for planned preventative maintenance, necessitating a safe access solution.
The Solution:
Eurosafe Solutions provided a safe access strategy that included the installation of Ascent™ Rooflight Covers, which are freestanding units positioned over glazed rooflights to mitigate fall hazards. Constructed from an angular aluminium framework with mesh infill, these covers maintain light penetration through the rooflight while offering safety. Supported by small spreader plates, the covers ensure non-penetrative support on the flat felt roof.
Ascent™ Rooflight Covers have been tested for non-fragility according to ACR(M) 001:2014 standards and are manufactured in compliance with 1090 factory production control procedures, meeting CE/UKCA marking requirements.
