SafetyDeck Eliminates Fall Risk For Height Workers

SafetyDeck lightweight working platform system from Tarmac provides a highly effective, low-cost and quick to assemble way to prevent the fallS from heights.

With falls from height still the biggest killer in the construction industry, the SafetyDeck lightweight working platform system from Tarmac provides a highly effective, low-cost and quick to assemble way to prevent the fall altogether.

Developed to provide a safe, lightweight working platform for installers of precast concrete flooring, SafetyDeck is suitable for anyone in the flooring, roofing and finishing trades - working at height.

The system is formed of lightweight sections which can be assembled to create a working platform in almost any shape.

Throughout 2003, the HSE has been inspecting construction sites throughout the country as part of the Europe-wide 'Don't Fall For It' campaign specifically aimed at reducing the industry's number of falls from height.

The most recent blitz took place in early September and one of the HSE's core messages to everybody in construction is that most height accidents can be easily preventable.

As the HSE drives to reduce the thousands of serious injuries and 33 deaths which occurred during 2002-03 as a result from falling from height, it advises in its "Health and Safety in roof work: HSG33" that fall arrest solutions should only be considered if a working platform approach cannot be utilised.

The SafetyDeck system can be used in all types of construction projects, and in addition to providing full freedom of movement, it offers a competitively priced lightweight working platform inclusive of full assembly and dismantling.

SafetyDeck is available for hire or to buy, delivered and installed on site 24-48 hours before work is due to commence.

On more unusual projects, the SafetyDeck team can advise on the most appropriate configuration to ensure the safest solution is assembled.
