Gutter cleaning
The routine task of gutter cleaning is very dangerous because it brings workers close to the perimeter of the roof. The best solution to the working at height hazard is to design a parapet wall that eliminates the risk of a fall. If this is not practicable, Workplace Access & Safety can assist with designing height safety equipment and systems including:
- Perimeter guardrail
- Fold-down guardrails that preserve building aesthetics
- Roof anchor points, static lines and harness systems
- Safe access to the roof, with stairs, fixed ladders, access hatches and walkways
- Step ladders to access work areas
- Rail system
- Static line
