The Client
Plan.com was named the fastest growing tech company in the UK by the Sunday Times in the latest Hiscox, Tech Track 100 league. With such a growing demand for their services and an ever-expanding team, the tech giant has recently purchased a new Super HQ on the Isle of Man.
Their new Super HQ has been designed with employees at the forefront of everything, with futuristic and high-tech design, alongside relaxed meeting spaces to complement the firms work hard, play hard culture.
Having won Telecom’s best company to work for in 2021, it’s no surprise that this firm never cut corners when it comes to employees and their safety.
The Brief
Heightsafe were contacted by the client to design, supply, install and certify a bespoke Step-Over Unit, to provide operatives carrying out essential roof maintenance with a safe and secure way to access and manoeuvre the roof space.
Roof access is essential to carry out the necessary planned preventative maintenance to the equipment and machinery situated on the roof.
The Solution
Heightsafe fabricated a bespoke Step-Over Unit and powder coated the structure to ensure the system fits in aesthetically with the other materials used on the roof. As you will see from the image below, the step over unit will provide the safe access for operatives to travel from one roof level to another in a safe manner.
In addition to the Step-Over Unit, Heightsafe also supplied and installed a Mobile Man Anchor system to provide a personal fall protection solution for operatives working within the area where no edge protection can be installed.
The Outcome
Following the successful installation of the Step-Over Unit and Mobile Man Anchor system, all roof operatives will now have the ability to access and operate on the roof in a safe manner.
