To ensure the continued safety of
operatives and maintenance personnel
who have to access roof areas, it is a
legal requirement that roof safety
systems are inspected regularly and
re-certified annually. The process
ensures that all components are
inspected for signs of damage/wear
and tear, or corrosion, as well as
testing relevant fall arrest and
restraint products to confirm that
they remain fully operational in
terms of sustaining their designated
load issued upon installation.

Safetyworks & Solutions
undertakes inspections, testing and recertification
and, if so required, can
supply and install replacement
systems. The company points out
that if the certification of a roof
safety system does expire, then no
one must use the system until the
legally required inspection and recertification
measures are in place.
