Fall Arrest & Restraint Equipment
When working at height, it is a legal requirement for employers to protect their employees from falling, by using a fall arrest or fall restraint system.
Fall Arrest Systems
A fall arrest system enables workers complete freedom of movement to implement their work on a roof, whilst also allowing workers to effect a self-rescue or be rescued in the event of a fall.
Fall Restraint Systems
A fall restraint system enables workers to carry out their work on a roof but prevents them from reaching a point where fall could occur. These systems are normally used when workers need to work at the edge of a roof, or in high-risk areas of a roof such as guttering, roof lights and fragile roof areas.
Fall Arrest Harness & Lanyard
