Fragile roof design trends and the impact on specification of fall arrest systems

There is an increasing desire to understand the forces acting on roofs when fall arrest systems are deployed. This whitepaper aims to highlight the interaction between roof build-up and fall arrest system, and how the specification of each impacts on the other.

This latest industry whitepaper by SFS covers:

  • Design trends in roofing
  • Performance requirements of roofs
  • Optimising roofs
  • Increased roof build–up depths
  • Lack of detail in fall protection system specification
  • Fall protection systems – an overview
  • Hierarchy of fall protection
  • System types and terminology
  • Fixing flexible safety line systems
  • Standards and testing
  • Unintended consequences of roof design trends for the specification and installation of fall protection systems
  • Protecting lives and protecting the roof system
  • Limitations of roof design and fixing method
  • The need for a compatibility standard
  • About SFS fall protection systems
  • ..and much more!
