Safety Line Systems

BRS designs, installs and tests horizontal safety lines to provide safe access across roofs and other areas where there is a risk of falling. Each system is designed around the building, the work being carried out and how it will be used. We can support your project from the initial survey and design through to installation, certification and ongoing inspections.

Service overview

Fall protection for roof access and maintenance areas

Horizontal safety line systems support access across roofs and other areas where there is a risk of falling. Related fall protection content covers anchor points and man anchor fall protection.

These systems are commonly required where people need access to roof areas for maintenance, inspection, installation or servicing and where other forms of collective protection may not be practical for every part of the roof.

Bespoke Roof Safety works with contractors, architects, facilities managers, building owners and public sector estates teams to design, install, inspect and maintain fall protection systems throughout the UK.
