Safetyworks and Solutions at Jersey Hospital

Safetyworks and Solutions, provided Jersey General Hospital with comprehensive system solution to enable their operatives to undertake various maintenance tasks at height safely and securely.

'Safety at height' specialists, Safetyworks and Solutions , recently provided Jersey General Hospital with a comprehensive system solution that would enable their operatives to undertake various maintenance tasks at height safely and securely.

Following an extension to the Day Care Centre at the Jersey General Hospital, Safetyworks and Solutions were commissioned to supply and install a variety of their high performance products to the standing seam roof.

The project required a walkways and barrier system that would allow restrictive access to plant, and an occasional system installation that would ensure easy access for maintenance of the gutters etc.

For safe access onto the roof, Safetyworks and Solutions manufactured and installed Access Steps and a Ladder, and for safe movement around the roof their Easyguard 2 Clamp-On Handrail system was installed in conjunction with their Flexideck Walkway system.

Easyguard has been developed as a permanent free-standing handrail system, modular, non-penetrative system, which offers a lightweight design, easy assembly and is weatherproof and corrosion resistant.

Extensively installed throughout many construction environments, Flexideck Walkway system is recognised as versatile, durable and sturdy, and is ideal for use with both new build and retrofit installations.

To complete the system, Uniline 8mm Stainless Steel System was installed to the perimeter allowing "hands free" protection throughout the length of the system, where the operator is attached via a link device that glides over the brackets without the need to detach from the fall protection system.

Setting new standards in wire system performance and material quality, the Uni 8 is manufactured from 316 stainless steel enhanced through electro polishing which results in the system components being suitable for heavy use in demanding environments.

"It is obviously imperative that safe roof access is paramount on all buildings".

"We work with our clients to understand their exact needs, and were delighted to provide the perfect safe working at height solution for the Day Care Centre extension at the Jersey General Hospital," said Marco Norman, Managing Director of Safetyworks and Solutions.
