Safetyworks & Solutions

Fixed Roof Top Barrier Systems - Handrails - Life Lines - Lifelines

Solutions for a safer working environment

Safetyworks and Solutions Ltd were founded in 1999 as a manufacturer and installer of permanent freestanding and mechanically fixed roof top barrier systems. (Clamp type) With their own in house manufacturing and design facility Safetyworks and Solutions Ltd soon moved into the manufacture of bespoke ladders and other light steel fabrication for safe access in, and around buildings.

Again with further client demand our product range was extended with the addition of walkways, both manufactured in house, and bought in for other applications. In 2000, Safetyworks and Solutions Ltd moved away from traditional stainless steel horizontal lifelines and became one of Uniline’s first approved installers with their revolutionary coloured 16mm system (which has now been complimented with an 18mm stainless steel wire system).

Safetyworks & Solutions Ltd provide complete solutions for safe access in and around buildings, and as an installer of both passive and reactive systems, will always offer impartial advice as to the most cost effective means to ensure total safe access is achieved. Safetyworks and Solutions Ltd provide a contract installation service for clients with specific needs and requirements.

We pride ourselves with providing a fast and professional turnkey service, to all our new and existing customers.

Handrails or barriers - fixed and free standing

Easyguard - permanent freestanding handrails for both retrofit and new build. Easyguard is non-penetrative (freestanding) alleviating the need for weatherproofing around posts and eliminating the risk of future leaks associated with penetrative systems, and also weatherproofing costs. Easyguard is flatfooted and slides easily underneath rooftop obstructions therefore providing minimal trip hazard.

Easyguard is galvanised to BS/EN 1461, and is also available powder coated, again over galvanised steel, to ensure the longevity of the system and it's coating.

Easyguard's base plates are fitted with bonded ribbed rubber mats, which include an EPDM foam infill. The foam infill reduces heat transference to the roof membrane therefore reducing membrane degradation.

Easyguard is adjustable by up to 250mm, and is levelled to the line of the building and against the falls of the roof improving the aesthetics from ground level.

Easyguard (non-penetrative system) is designed to BS/EN/SR 15 1988, and compliant to BS6180 for maintenance use, BS6399 Part 2. Easyguard is ideal for perimeter hand railing or for designation of access ways (escape routes etc).

New asphalt roofs may require tiles beneath base assemblies to prevent the system from sinking, with advice sought from your asphalt manufacturer.

Fixed Rails - Heavier duty rails can be designed to meet most loads, and comply with BS 6180.

Fixed rails to both vertical and horizontal faces of parapet walls or up stands for applications where a Permanent Free Standing Handrail will not suffice.
