SAFETY MARKING

Roofs protect people, goods and machines from the elements. But only if they are kept in perfect condition. Periodical inspec-tions and maintenance help to avoid problems. In case a leak would occur, it is important to react swiftly, thus limiting any damage.

The problems that occur are usually minor ones, which can be solved with little effort. However, without proper fall-protection, even the shortest intervention on a roof is not without risk. Small dangers can have grave consequences and falling from a height tends to be unforgiving. Roofs should, therefore, be equipped with a proper fall-protection system.

De Boer Safety offers a wide range of high-quality, innovative

and “roof friendly” fall-protection systems. Our area of exper-tise is, in particular, with existing roofs. Whatever its construc-tion and whichever material has been used to cover it, we can offer good solutions for practically any kind of roof, always focusing on safety, cost and user-friendliness.

Perhaps you’re wondering to whom you should entrust your roof safety: to a safety expert ? or rather to a roof covering spe-cialist ? De Boer Safety offers the best of both worlds. Founded in 1922, we have a vast experience in both fields.

This brochure gives you an overview of the different solutions which we can offer you.

GUARDRAILSCollective protection offers the best solution to prevent people from falling from heights, in that it doesn’t require people to take any particular action in order to protect them-selves. No training or prior knowledge is required and no individual protective equipment needs to be used.

Guardrails can be used to protect :

• roof edges• mezzanines• skylights• technical installations• evacuation paths and gangways

De Boer Safety offers guardrails with the best price-quality ratio on the market. It is a free-standing system, easy and quick to install. The counterweights keep the guardrails firmly in place. All components are made of high-quality material, so as for the system to withstand the elements.

Our guardrails meet the requirements of EN 13374 A and EN 14122-3.

Apart from free-standing guardrails with straight posts, we offer many other types, too, such as: painted guardrails, foldable guardrails, guardrails with curved posts and anchored guardrails.

STEEL CABLE SYSTEMSSteel cable systems or lifelines are a way of individual fall-protection. People can secure themselves to the system, keeping sufficient freedom to move. A special carriage can be attached anywhere on the steel cable and allows users to pass the intermediate supports without having to unhook themselves.

There are several ways in which to install a steel cable system :Positioning (also called restraint, leash principle or demarcation) is aimed at preventing people from falling.A fall arrest system does precisely that : it stops the fall.

De Boer Safety installs steel cable systems which can be used in either way. All systems comply with the EN 795 C standard and are perfectly capable of stopping a fall. The steel cable system’s supports are installed on the roof covering. It takes only one perforation to attach a support to the roof construction. Each support has a unique flexible mecha-nism which dampens the force of a fall. The use of aluminium and stainless steel makes the system weather-resistant.

We offer steel cable systems for roof tops, but also for facades and ceilings. All systems are also available in a multiline version, where multiple steel cables use the same system. This allows users to safely cross each other’s path, without the need to unhook.

ANCHORSAnchors are another form of individual fall-protection. Once you have secured yourself to the rotating eye, you can freely move within a certain radius of the anchor. Anchors are the ideal fall-protection solutions on small roofs.

Anchors can be installed in different ways : Stand-alone anchors are directly used to secure people at heights.Anchors for a mobile lifeline serve as end-points in between which a temporary lifeline is tightened. This lifeline is then used to secure the worker.Pendulum points are used as intermediary stations, in order to avoid that a person would swing too violently in case he would fall (the so-called pendulum effect).

De Boer Safety installs anchor points which can be used for all applications. All systems comply with the EN 795 A standard and are perfectly capable of stopping a fall. The anchor points are installed on the roof covering. It takes only one perforation to attach an anchor point to the roof construction. Anchor points can be equipped with a unique flex-ible mechanism which dampens the force of a fall. The use of aluminium and stainless steel makes the system weather-resistant.

We offer anchor points for roof tops, but also for facades and ceilings. Ample possibilities exist : anchor points either with single-point or multiple-point mounting, anchor points with a fall indicator, anchor points with a removable eye, etc

SAFETY MARKINGSafety marking is a very efficient way of boosting safety at heights. Clear markings indicate which areas are “safe” and which areas aren’t. Workers immediately see where there is a risk of falling.

De Boer’s safety coating is a durable bi-component PMMA perfectly suitable for the permanent marking of roof edges and safety zones. This non-skid coating also serves perfectly as a maintenance gangway. Its bright colour is clearly visible and contrasts strongly with the roof surface, thus enhancing safety. The coating is available in almost all RAL colours.

De Boer’s safety coating is compatible with most roof coverings and surfaces. The coating is cold-applied; the roof is accessible again after only thirty minutes.

WALL LADDERS AND CAGE LADDERSPermanent ladders provide safe access to roofs and other heights. Obstacles such as installations and firewalls can be crossed safely via ladders or platforms.

De Boer Safety’s wall ladders and cage ladders are custom-made using aluminium. They are light and can withstand adverse weather conditions. They are manufactured in accordance with the EN 14122-4 standard. De Boer’s own technicians install them.

Various options are available :

• RAL colour coating• anodizing (blank or coloured)• exit and passage platforms• guardrails and exits• fencing and access-protection• extended ladder hoops• ...

Next to top-of-the-range wall ladders and cage ladders, De Boer Safety also offers tai-lor-made solutions such as modular stairs, passage platforms, foldable escape ladders and stair towers. They can be carried out either in aluminium, or in stainless steel or in galvanized or coated steel.

COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTIONS AND SPECIAL APPLICATIONSSafety at heights often requires more than just one measure. We offer comprehensive solutions, including advice, risk analysis, roof fall-risk assessment and periodic inspection of the roof safety-systems. We also supply complementary products such as personal protective equipment (PPE), ladder securing points, pictograms and warning signs.

As each situation is different, we aim for personalized advice and for individual solutions. We can offer the standard solutions shown in this brochure, but also special applications which meet your specific requirements. These include safety systems for window clean-ers, applications for industrial areas and safety on locations which are difficult to reach.
