Safety on the roof
Safety on the roof is of utmost importance. When working at heights, appropriate safety measures should always be taken. We can contribute to this by providing fall protection systems and railing systems.
Safety on the roof
Industrial buildings, office buildings and institutional buildings are now almost exclusively constructed with flat roofs. This modern construction method offers numerous advantages, from the optimal use of space for technical installations to the possibility of creating a green roof. However, this is precisely where an often underestimated danger lies: without suitable fall protection for roofs, there is a high risk of accidents.
Working on a roof, whether for maintenance, repairs or the upkeep of green roofs, involves considerable risks. In very few cases are flat roofs equipped with standard-compliant fall protection as standard. This makes retrofitting all the more important. When retrofitting a restraint and fall protection system, the easiest option is to install a load-bearing system, as this does not require the roof covering to be penetrated. A 6 for Green fall protection system on your customers' roofs not only protects the lives of workers, but also complies with legal requirements for occupational safety and is load-bearing.
Planning a flat roof fall protection system
The experts at 6 fürs Grün will be happy to plan the flat roof fall protection system that is right for you. Our experienced specialist planners take the individual circumstances of the building in question into account. They consider not only the architecture of the building, but also the use of the roof, for example for maintenance work, the care of green roofs or the installation of technical equipment such as solar modules.
An essential part of the planning process is selecting the right flat roof fall protection system. Depending on the roof and its use, different safety solutions are employed, including safety railings, single anchor points or rope safety systems. The positioning of the safety points is also precisely determined to ensure the best possible freedom of movement and safety on the roof. Our planners also take into account the climatic conditions and snow load zone of a location. Systems are designed to provide reliable protection even in areas with a high probability of snowfall and large snow depths. Precise calculations are made to guarantee the stability and load-bearing capacity of the fall protection system. This ensures that safety on the roof is guaranteed in all seasons.
SafetyPro™ greenSec Fall protection for green and gravel roofs
SafetyPro™ greenSec is a state-of-the-art fall protection system for roofs, specially developed for green and gravel roofs with a roof pitch of up to 5°. It is a load-bearing system that does not require a fixed connection to the building structure. This penetration-free and thermal bridge-free solution offers significant advantages over conventional roof fall protection systems and can also be easily retrofitted.
SafetyPro™ greenSec is securely fastened with a load of 80 kg/m². The load can be flexibly applied through greening, gravel or paving slabs. All system components are made of high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials and are tested in accordance with the latest EU standards (EN 795:2012 and CEN/TS 16415:2013). The system is particularly easy to install, as all posts are identical and no additional corner accessories are required. SafetyPro™ greenSec can be used both as a single anchor point and as a rope safety system, offering maximum flexibility and safety on the roof.
Railings and fall protection for roofs
Guardrails as fall protection for flat roofs offer modern and effective collective protection, making working on the roof safe and comfortable. While many roofs of industrial and office buildings do not have fixed fall protection as standard, guardrails provide a permanent, low-maintenance solution to prevent the risk of falls.
The TopRail system and the DRS railing system are innovative solutions that are ideal for use as railings for flat roof fall protection. Both systems are held in place exclusively by ballast and do not require a fixed connection to the roof structure. This means that the roof waterproofing remains intact and installation can be carried out without any complex drilling work. This penetration-free fastening not only ensures easy installation, but also protects the building fabric in the long term and prevents the formation of cold bridges.
Would you like to equip your roof with a safe and standard-compliant railing system? The experts at 6 fürs Grün will be happy to advise you on the right solution for your requirements!
