Description

Benefits of the Fixsafe System:

The Fixsafe system is a ‘first choice’ industry-leading product, and for good reason:

• Limits injuries and fatalities
• Reduces time, cost and disruption
• Flexible for different profiles and applications
• Peace of mind for owners and builders

Although originally designed for use in single skin asbestos cement profiled sheet roofs, the system has developed and can be adapted for use with metal roof sheet systems and some twin skin assemblies.

• Safety first – no need to access fragile roofs. The patented Fixsafe system has been designed to allow profiled rooflights or roof sheets to be replaced entirely from within the building, eliminating the need to access dangerous fragile roofs, thereby increasing safety for maintenance operatives and equipment erectors.
• Disruption minimised. The speed and ease with which roof repairs can be carried out using the Fixsafe system brings important advantages to building owners, with reduced disruption and safer working procedures. With netting and scaffold being unnecessary, there are further benefits for the building occupier as less trades people are on site.
• Save lives and save money, too. By removing the requirement for costly safety netting, roof staging, fall protection and external scaffolding, access equipment costs are minimised, on-site time is reduced and lives are not put at risk.
• HSE compliant. The Health & Safety Executive has responded positively to the introduction of the Fixsafe system as a means of allowing those involved in repairing fragile roofs to work fully in compliance with Regulation 9 of the Working at Height Regulations, 2005 and the risk of working on fragile roofs is completely eliminated.
