Testing Frequency and Standards
Façade Access Systems are commonly utilised to enable Rope Access technicians safe access to clean and maintain windows and façades. Due to the load capacity that this system can support it is a legal requirement to have them tested twice annually, dependant on the frequency of use – this also applies to temporary and permanent Davit Arm Systems.

Façade Access Systems

Offering a comprehensive inspection, testing and certification for all systems, Heightsafe’s specialists are the safe choice when it comes to Work at Height compliance.

As building design and legislation has changed through the years where Work at Height is concerned, many roof layouts are now more complex and safe access for maintenance is a challenge. To remain compliant with Work at Height regulations, most roofs now feature Parapets, Guardrails or Balustrades of some description, making access more complex when Abseil work is required – Davit Arms are the perfect solution.
