Safety at height specialist, Safetyworks
& Solutions, has provided roof safety
products at the new E.ON gas-fired
combined heat and power (CHP)
station, on the Isle of Grain in Kent.

The £500m power station required
1580 linear metres of Easyguard
permanent freestanding handrail,
which was installed to ensure safe access
around the roof perimeters of various
buildings on the site. Safetyworks
specifically designed the system to
include an increased angle on the post
to counter the angle of the roof.

The handrails were produced in
extra heavy duty versions, to
withstand the high winds expected
on the roof areas.
