What Are Work at Height Systems?

Work at Height Systems are specialist safety solutions that protect personnel working above ground level, where a fall could result in injury.

These systems include both collective protection measures (like guardrails) and personal protection systems (like fall arrest lifelines), all designed in compliance with the Work at Height Regulations 2005.

Types of Work at Height Systems We Offer

At Heightsafe, we provide a full portfolio of systems, tailored to your site and your team’s specific access needs. Every system we deliver is designed for durability, usability, and ongoing compliance.

1. Fall Protection Systems

Protect workers from the risk of falls when working on rooftops, elevated walkways, or exposed platforms

Collective Fall Protection (Edge Protection):

Safety Guardrails and Handrails: Installed along roof perimeters or walkways to prevent accidental falls. Available in:

Permanent, freestanding, or collapsible formats

Materials such as aluminium or galvanised steel

Powder-coated finishes to blend with building aesthetics

Personal Fall Protection:

Fall Restraint Systems: These systems keep users away from edges entirely using fixed-length lanyards connected to anchor points or horizontal lifelines.

Fall Arrest Systems: In situations where working close to the edge is unavoidable, fall arrest systems safely halt a fall mid-air using shock-absorbing lanyards, inertia reels, and harnesses.

Anchor Points & Davit Arms: Critical for rope access and abseiling operations on high-rise buildings.

2. Roof Access Systems

Enable safe, efficient, and compliant access to rooftops and elevated areas for maintenance or inspection tasks.
Fixed Roof Access Ladders: Secure vertical or inclined ladders with optional fall arrest systems and safety cages.
Roof Access Hatches: Discreet and secure means of access through flat or pitched roofs, often paired with handrails or step-over units.
Step-over Platforms & Walkways: Provide stable, anti-slip surfaces across fragile or uneven roof surfaces and obstacles like pipework or cable trays.

3. Overhead Fall Arrest Track Systems

Ideal for environments where workers operate beneath a fall risk, such as rail depots, vehicle bays, and manufacturing lines.

Rigid Rail Systems (e.g. Kee Track): Provide a fixed overhead anchor that halts a fall with minimal drop distance and no pendulum effect. These systems are ideal for:

Train maintenance

Aircraft hangars

Truck loading/unloading

Industrial machinery servicing

Overhead Fall Arrest Tracks: Customisable in overhead, vertical, or horizontal configurations, these enclosed rail systems feature free-running trolleys for hands-free mobility and enhanced safety.

4. Mobile Man Anchors and Temporary Systems

When permanent installations aren’t viable, Heightsafe offers portable, non-invasive solutions for short-term safety.

Freestanding Mobile Anchors: Provide reliable fall arrest for flat roofs without the need for drilling or permanent fixings.

Temporary Guardrails and Lifelines: Quick-to-install edge protection for refurbishment, inspection, or construction work.
