Unistrut installs Mansafe in Kew Palm House
The famous Victorian Palm House in the Royal Botanical Gardens has recently undergone installation of a Latchways Mansafe system.
The brackets are exclusively for use on Kalzip roof systems to provide safe hands-free access even to awkward areas.
The brackets have been designed to deform in the event of a fall, absorbing fall energy and ensuring that there is no deformation to the existing roof structure.
The non-penetrative clamps ensure that there is no chance of weather leakage, and that the 20 year Kalzip roof guarantee remains valid.
Workers attach directly onto the Kalzip fall arrest system by means of a Latchways Transfastener which rotates freely through the intermediate cable supports.
Once attached, the worker has complete versatility and freedom of movement whilst keeping both hands free.
All Latchways systems carry the CE mark, are constructed from high quality stainless steel components and conform to EN795.
Systems must be designed, installed, tested and certified by one of Latchways' network of approved installer companies.
