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.
It also allows RIBA qualified architects to complete an interactive CPD presentation, submit a questionnaire and receive a CPD certificate.
Latchways has been providing CPD seminars to Architects and Civil Engineers on Fall Arrest since 1998.
Previously this has been in the form of personal presentations at the architects' offices.
The seminar is now available on CD for completion in architects' own time and can also be presented to colleagues in house.
However personal CPD seminars are still available if required.
"The Latchways presentation provides architects with an understanding of the principles of load control.
This will ensure the provision of a safety solution that protects the specified number of people who will be working on the site during its construction and subsequent maintenance," says Tony Workman, Business Development Director at Latchways.
The RIBA CPD Providers Network enables the technical knowledge of companies such as Latchways to be shared with a wider audience.
It also provides a forum for future collaboration between manufacturer, installer and architect.
Latchways systems provide worker safety at height on all types of buildings and structures all over the world - for example the London Eye and St Paul's Cathedral in the UK, Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia, the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Wanderers Cricket Stadium in South Africa.
