Heightsafe Systems provides robust UPVC Walkways, offering a safe route over fragile roof spaces for maintenance tasks at height. Our walkways are designed to provide collective protection for anyone accessing roof areas, helping to prevent falls and accidents.
Collective Protection: Heightsafe’s UPVC walkways offer collective safety, making them ideal for use alongside other height safety equipment like handrails and guardrails. They are compatible with all major roof types, including barrel and curved roofs, and can be manufactured with bespoke fixings to suit specific project requirements.
Variety of Colours: Available in a variety of colours, our walkways can be tailored to match the aesthetics of your project, ensuring both functionality and visual appeal.
Versatility: UPVC walkways, also known as plastic walkways, stepped roof walkways, or rooftop walkways, are suitable for fixing any roof profile. Their self-sealing nature ensures a secure installation on all surfaces.
Enhanced Safety: Provides a defined route, guiding workers away from hazards and preventing accidental falls through fragile roof surfaces.
Roof Integrity: Protects the roof from damage caused by foot traffic, which can create tiny cracks in the roof covering over time.
Access Efficiency: Facilitates easy and safe access up slopes or across pitched roofs, essential for various maintenance tasks.
Repairs and Maintenance: Ensures safe access for essential repairs and maintenance tasks on the roof surface.
HVAC Access: Provides a secure pathway for accessing HVAC systems and other rooftop equipment.
Gutter Maintenance: Essential for cleaning and maintaining gutters and roof lights.
Inspection and Testing: Supports routine inspections and testing, such as lightning protection assessments.
To remain compliant with EN 516 and The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) 1998, walkway systems must be tested and inspected every 12 months. Heightsafe offers professional testing and inspection services to ensure your walkways remain safe and effective.
