Fixsafe stars at roofing training facility
Ploughcroft – one of the UK’s most accredited solar companies recently opened the doors of their new EcoRoof Visitor Centre, with a training area providing courses for contractors.
FILON’s Fixsafe system plays a key part in of one of the training programmes that Ploughcroft offers here. The course covers the HSE’s Working at Height regulations with the focus on working on fragile roofs.
The Fixsafe system is FILON’s innovative solution for safe replacement of profiled roofing sheets and rooflights. The system ticks all the compliance boxes, as it allows all work to be carried out from below the roof, so there is no need for roofing operatives to access dangerous fragile roof areas.
With Fixsafe, the entire process can be carried out beneath the roof, from the relative safety of a cherry picker or access platform, alleviating many of the compliance problems associated with the Working at Height Regulations.
In addition to increased safety, the Fixsafe system has proved to be extremely cost effective - as there is no requirement for safety netting, scaffolding or roof platforms/staging.
Deaths and injuries caused by falling through fragile material have always been a blight on the roofing industry. Fixsafe is already making a real and positive impact on safety in roofwork.
The Eco Roof Visitor Centre is located in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.
