WalkSafe Fall-proof Covers

Where access is needed onto a fragile roof it is necessary to take protective measures. If it is not appropriate to use cable fall arrest systems, the installation of WalkSafe fall proof covers provides passive collective protection whilst also eliminating the fall hazard in designated areas.

One of the key areas that require this type of product is where in-plane rooflights are installed.  Their inherent strength can deteriorate over time necessitating a ‘rooflight cover’ that protects maintenance staff from falling through the rooflight.  Latchways WalkSafe fall proof covers are the ideal rooflight fall protection system.

The WalkSafe fall proof covers are easily installed and neither training nor specialist PPE are required to use the system, thus eliminating the possibility of user error. They can be used adjacent to WalkSafe walkways on flat or pitched fragile roofs and can work independently of—or ideally in conjunction with—other Latchways fall protection solutions.

Constructed on a 50 mm bearer—to the same design as the Latchways WalkSafe walkways, but with wider spacings—the WalkSafe fall proof covers feature a contrasting red strip to indicate the start of a fragile surface; highlighting to system users the need for care and attention whilst working in these areas.
