that hotels on both sides of the
river can be used for
accommodation for both centres.
THE SOLUTION
Access on to the roof is via a Sayfa Payload ladder with fall protection and on
the roof itself there is an Aviator fall prevention line in place to enable safe
access to all working areas of the roof.
On exit from the safety hatch it is easy to clip on to the line and subsequently to
fit on and clip to the Aviator running shuttle which moves easily along the line
and over the brackets to give fall protection while carrying out maintenance
work at height.
It is a legal requirement that all roof-safety installations are inspected at least
every six months if an abseil installation and every year in the case of roof safety
lines.
In line with our commitment to keep our customers both safe and legally
compliant we offer through our Safety and Inspection Service (SIMS) a
complete back-up service for the inspection and maintenance of all our safety
equipment. A dedicated re-test team will maintain contact and visit to re-test
and ensure that your system is maintained to the highest standards.
