HEALTH & SAFETY
INFORMATION
Each of our patented skylight net protection systems are manufactured to the requirements BS/EN1263-1 to almost any size, using 6mm polypropylene netting on a 100mm mesh. The standard perimeter border cord is replaced by utilising a galvanised steel tubular frame for both the Safetube and Quadtube Systems.
Skylight Protection Systems can form an integral part of Health and Safety compliance for contractors, clients, principal designers and anyone who may require to work on, or access to, flat roofs where fragile skylights may exist. Compliance with the HSE Work at Height Regulations (WAHR) is an essential part of roof work safety.
All have the benefit of a simple and straightforward installation process, and have subsequently been through a rigourous test procedure developed initially in consultation with the HSE Red book for the testing of fragility of roofing assemblies, ACRM(001) 2011.
THE DROP TEST
The Safetube and Quadtube systems achieved class B rating and the Safenet system design, retained the drop tests for the required periods as stated. It must be noted however that the Safenet alone should only be considered after careful evaluation of the integrity of the structure to which it is secured. If this cannot be clearly demonstrated then the use of the Safetube or Quadtube system should be considered as the preferred option. This is set out in the above documentation and also as demonstrated in our drop test video.
