Here at D-marc, we are dedicated to making work at height safer – in particular, work at height on a flat room where regular maintenance or repair work on plant and machinery located on a flat roof.  So many of the commercial and industrial premises here in the UK feature a flat roof and this is often where plant and machinery necessary for manufacturing processes are installed.  This means that it will be necessary for workers to perform inspections and maintenance work on the machinery on a continuous basis, perhaps accessing the area on a daily or weekly basis.

Ensuring safety on rooftops with the correct equipment and complying with regulations is more important than ever, especially with the knowledge that 2018 saw a small upward trend (1%) in falls from height in 2018, when compared with the previous year.  This has led to the installation of work at height equipment into refurbishments and new developments at the early stages, so today we’re taking a look at when collective edge protection in the form of a guardrail provides the most suitable solution.
