What is fall protection?

Fall protection is a range of systems and measures designed to protect people from falls when working at height. This can include guardrails, safety lines, anchor points, roof access systems and other specialist equipment.

What type of fall protection system do I need?

The right solution depends on your roof, building, access requirements and the work being carried out. KSE can assess your site and recommend a suitable fall protection system based on the specific risks and requirements.

Do fall protection systems need to be inspected?

Yes. Fall protection equipment needs to be regularly inspected to ensure it remains safe, secure and suitable for use. KSE can inspect existing systems and identify any defects, damage or remedial work required.

Can KSE install fall protection on an existing roof?

Yes. We can design and install fall protection systems on existing buildings and roofs. Following a site assessment, we can recommend a practical solution that provides safe access for maintenance and other work at height.

Can KSE repair or maintain existing fall protection systems?

Yes. We can inspect existing systems and carry out appropriate remedial and maintenance work where required, helping to keep your roof safety equipment safe and compliant throughout its working life.

What are anchor points?

Anchor points are permanently fixed connection points that provide a secure attachment for personal fall protection equipment.

They can be installed on roofs, structures and other areas where work at height is required, providing a designated point to connect a harness and fall protection equipment.

Depending on the application, anchor points can be used for fall restraint or fall arrest, with the correct system depending on the structure, access requirements and intended use.

KSE can assess your building and recommend an anchor point solution suited to the application.

How do anchor points work?

Anchor points provide a secure connection between personal fall protection equipment and the building structure.

Depending on the application, they can be used individually or as part of a wider fall protection system, providing either fall restraint or fall arrest.

The anchor point must be correctly positioned, installed and used with compatible equipment to provide effective protection. KSE can assess the structure and recommend a suitable solution based on how the area will be accessed and used.
