Rope safety system: Properly securing flat roofs with NIS
A rope safety system on your flat roof is suitable if the roof surface is slippery and is regularly walked on. It also allows several people to move around the edge of the roof at the same time without any problems. A stainless steel rope is stretched between two attachment points to ensure safe movement. A rope safety system can either be attached vertically to a ladder as a safety measure or mounted horizontally on a flat roof. Single anchor points, for example, serve as attachment points. With a rope safety system, you are always optimally secured on your flat roof during maintenance work, installations, repairs, etc.
Additional protection through gliders for rope systems
Have you opted for a rope safety system on your flat roof? Optimise protection for everyone who walks on the roof by choosing a rope safety system that can be used with gliders. Once you have hooked yourself into the rope safety system on the flat roof with your personal protective equipment against falls from a height (PPE), you no longer need to unhook yourself to pass attachment points or corner points thanks to the sliders. These can now be easily passed over. The continuous connection to the rope safety system minimises the risk of accidents or falls thanks to the sliders.
Restraint system: A rope prevents falls
A restraint system can be integrated not only at anchor points, but also in rope safety systems on flat roofs. According to DIN EN 358, a restraint system is part of personal fall protection equipment. When personal protective equipment is used in conjunction with the restraint system, falls from flat roofs are prevented and you can ensure accident-free working on your flat roof. This is because a restraint system keeps roofers and maintenance or cleaning personnel away from the edge of the roof. The reason for this is a safety harness, which is used in conjunction with a safety rope. The safety rope is so short that it is impossible to get close to the edge of the roof.
