Open inspection pits are a common risk for businesses working in the automotive and logistics industry, but the PitProtect system effectively minimises the danger of falls when the pits are not in use.

Available in multiple sizes, this simple but effective fall prevention system is fully adjustable in both length and width, simple to operate and still allows access to work underneath the vehicles.

Following on from our Circular Business blog on Monday......

When a leading housebuilder engaged with us as part of its transition towards adopting timber-frame construction and Modern Methods of Construction we were happy to get involved.

Driven by the need to align with the forthcoming Future Homes Standard, implementing our CoverSafe mats has proven to not only be a safety solution, but a long-term operational and environmental investment.

Although our systems were originally designed more than 25 years ago with safety when working at height as the primary focus, they align perfectly with today’s drive towards more sustainable and environmentally responsible business practices, and initiatives for sustainable homes such as The Future Homes Standard, and Modern Methods of Construction (MMC).

Safe working at height is at the heart of our business and while we strive to support our customers in ensuring the safety of their teams, we also make sure safety is paramount a bit closer to home.

This week we've had Harcon Services Ltd come and carry out an annual inspection of the fall restraint systems on the roof of our office building.

Everything was in good working order and certified for another year.

Regular checks for wear and tear, and smooth operation are essential and quite simply could save a life.

No need for rails or barriers around manholes or hatches.

The CoverSafe Access is easy to install, locks in a safe position when used as a manhole cover and easily fixed in place when used as hatch cover.

The trellis slides open for quick access and hinges to provide full access.

Building or working on properties with a communal staircase can be pretty hazardous with the potential to fall onto concrete and risk sustaining an injury.

Multiple StairSpans can be combined to provide a safe working platform and fall arrest system, with handrails for edge protection. The StairSpan mats can be extended to fit the length of the frame and retracted to allow access between floors.

The great thing is our systems are lightweight, portable and reusable, which means they can easily be transferred to other properties and sites.

It's common to believe that accidents won't happen to us, but a simple fall at work can significantly alter your life. Ranging from a minor injury that leads to a few days off work to more serious injuries that may take months to heal, or even worse, a fatality.

Whether you're a business owner or an employee in a setting where there's a risk of falling from heights, including low-level voids like an open inspection pit, our straightforward yet effective fall prevention solutions, such as the PitProtect, can help ensure the safety of you and your team.

There are many reasons why our customers choose CoverSafe such as it doubles up as a fall protection system and safe working platform and that it can be relocated and reused over again.

The added bonus of the Coversafe system is it enables teams to work above and below simultaneously which contributes to:

✅ reducing build times
✅ reducing costs
✅ reducing waste
✅ reducing CO2 emissions

We know working outside in high temperatures and direct sunshine can put workers at risk.

So while you're busy using our safe access systems to prevent falls, we want to encourage you to make sure your teams at work, on construction sites and tradespeople are keeping safe on hot sunny days.

✅Plaster on the sunscreen - we know you all love to show off your suntans, but pink will most likely clash with your hi-vis vest and isn't good for your skin

✅Heads up - keeping your head covered helps, but of course, if you're on a construction site or working in a dangerous work environment we hope everyone is sporting their safety hat! 👷

✅Water works - be sure to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.💧

✅Pit stops - where possible create some areas with shade to keep cool during breaks. 😎

And while you're planning to keep everyone safe in the sun, why not check out our full range of safe access and fall arrest systems for extra peace of mind:
