According to the HSE, on average 7 people are killed each year falling through a fragile roof or fragile roof light. These accidents usually occur on the roofs of factories, warehouse and farm buildings where repair or cleaning work is being undertaken

Designed to overcome the challenges of working on fragile roofs and provide the user with a safe working position, Easi-Dec has developed a range of roof access and safety equipment to help keep workers safe when working on industrial and fragile roofs.

Designed specifically for metal profile roofs, Easi-Cover provides a robust and effective solution for covering unprotected rooflights. Easy to transport and install, rooflights are protected by a strong mesh panel mounted onto a metal frame.

Designed to run vertically, left or right, up or down and to fit to varying roof pitches, Board-Walk is the ideal solutions for use on fragile roofs.

Valley-Walk

A mobile walking frame for one or two people, designed to provide mobile access along valley gutters. Easy to transport and assemble, the unit features cushioned outriggers for comfort which are filled with safety mesh.

Easi-Dec, the working at height safety specialist, is helping to eliminate the possibility of roof top accidents with its range of safety solutions for those accessing fragile industrial roofs.

“With various weak spots and uneven surfaces, industrial roofing is prone to being fragile, making it an unsafe environment for workers undertaking roof top maintenance” explains Soni Sheimar General Manager at Easi-Dec “Easi-Dec has developed its range of products to ensure that it can provide a safety system that is suitable for all requirements and simplify short duration roof work.”

Easi-Dec’s range of roof access equipment includes Board-Walk, a portable mesh walkway. Running from the eaves to ridge, the system spreads the weight across the support battens, allowing the workers to confidentially move along the full length of the system. Made of high grade aluminium, the structure is lightweight, easily transportable and can be used on roof pitches up to 30 degrees.

Roof-Walk is a fully guarded rolling platform, mounted on twin racks to allow workers to move up and down the roof on a secure and level surface. Requiring no penetration, the structure is easy to assemble and take down, and is possible to transport quickly to other parts of the roof.A 4.6m platform comes as standard, with a 2.5m alternative also available. This moves along a linking track which is fitted with safety mesh and battens to provide further support.

Completing the range is Valley-Walk, a lightweight mobile walking frame designed to provide safe access for one or two people when working along valley gutters. The outriggers arefilled with safety mesh and cushioned for comfort. This system can also be used to transport light payloads. Valley-Walk is suitable for typical symmetrical valleys, but can also be fully adjustable to suit uneven designs.
