RoofSafe Rail Systems
Current workplace legislation requires that any person working at height should be properly protected against the risk of falling. This is especially important for people required to work on roofs for maintenance, inspection and construction tasks, as they can be exposed to significant risks. Changes in weather, fragile roof elements, slips and trips, wind and steep inclines can all add to the dangers, so providing a safe system of work for anyone required to access a roof is essential and ensures compliance with regulations and the safety of employees and contractors.
Roofs are also used to provide access for other regular building maintenance and inspection tasks, such as rope access work or access to cradles and suspended gantries, where the need for a secure and sometimes comprehensive anchorage system is essential.
With all of these considerations in mind, Uniline developed Roofsafe, an extruded aluminium rail system which combines a simple, functional anchorage system with very high levels of user safety and great aesthetics. It is the perfect compliment to any building and mitigates many of the risks associated with roof work.
The Roofsafe Rail System offers the very latest in fall protection technological development. The extruded aluminium rail system can be fitted to built up and composite metal pitched roof systems and a variety of standing seam roof systems, providing an extremely aesthetically pleasing and practical safety system.
Roofsafe can be used to facilitate roof inspections, routine maintenance, gutter cleaning, façade access, access to roof plant and any number of other roof top work procedures.
Roofsafe for built up and composite roof systems
The system is fixed to the outer skin of the roof system using aluminium bulb type rivets. The use of this type of rivet in the correct sequence ensures safety, without compromising the integrity of the roof. The small penetrations are further sealed using approved roofing products and rivets are supplied with caps. Fixing holes are drilled on site to suit the roof profile, ensuring installation is quick, easy and cost effective.
Key features and benefits of the system
Roofsafe for standing seam roof systems
A range of non-penetrative clamps enables the system to be fitted to a variety of standing seam roof systems. The low profile, aesthetic benefits of the product lends itself especially well to this type of roofing system, which is often used on high profile and distinctive buildings.
