VT barrier 2600x1150 90 degree for temporary edge protection

Steel mesh temporary edge protection barrier that is lightweight yet extremely robust, and versatile and fast to assemble. The VT barrier is improving the safety of a traditional guardrail edge protection by replacing twin guardrails and toeboard in one unit, eliminating fittings and the need for tools, whilst providing protection through containment.

This is a high-quality safety component that is manufactured with the latest production techniques in our own factories and available in a wide variety of PPC RAL-colours and/or hot-dip galvanized finish for durability. Each welded spot on this edge protection barrier can withstand an impact load of 500 kg.

This version of our temporary edge protection barrier will work with Combisafe barriers.

rescue training for working at height

SRT05 Rescue from height training

rescue training for working at height
It is a requirement of the Work at Height Regulations 2005, that a Rescue Plan has been written and is in place whenever an individual is working at a height which if fallen from, could cause serious injury. This is known as a Working at Height Rescue Plan.

WORKING AT HEIGHT RESCUE PLAN
It is important that the details of a Working at Height Rescue Plan are specific to the environment, structure and equipment to be used so those that need to be rescued can be quickly and safely recovered without putting anybody else at risk.
A Working at Height Rescue Plan should include the following information
Have we planned adequate anchorage points for the rescuer?
Have we trained the rescuers to a high level of competence?
Which equipment is most suitable for this type of rescue?
How will you know if someone needs rescuing?
How quickly and safely can we get a rescuer to them?
How quickly can you get them to a safe place?
Can we assess any medical, or other, needs of the individual during and after the rescue?

CRITERIA FOR AN ASSIGNED RESCUER
A competent person (somebody who has sufficient training, experience, and knowledge of rescue equipment) must supervise and carry out working at height rescues.
They must be informed if the rescue equipment is changed. They should also receive refresher training annually.
The rescuer should have the skills and knowledge to:
Inspect, anchor, assemble, and use fall protection and rescue equipment safely.
Recognise fall hazards.
Implement fall hazard control measures.
Conduct fall protection and rescue procedures.
Inspect equipment and systems before use.

DESCRIPTION OF RESCUE TRAINING COURSE
Training course ref: SRT5
This is a site based practical course for those that have successfully completed foundation course SST1
Duration: Eight hours
Maximum attendees: 6 persons
A person may fall while connected to a Work Restraint or Fall Arrest system and become suspended in their harness; if a person is suspended even for a short period of time this can result in a life-threatening condition known as suspension trauma.
Full Day Rescue Kit Training Course focussing on method and equipment utilised in the occurrence of a fall incident.

rescue training at construction site SafetyRespect UK

MINIMUM REQUIREMENT – DELEGATES
Attendee’s must have reached a good basic level of competency for working at height from the foundation courses.
Each of the delegates nominated for rescue training will be required to retrieve a weighted dummy back onto the floor he is operating on.
The delegates will have to have shown competence in the Work Restraint session and have permission to work on an unprotected edge of slab using the Work Restraint.

PRE-TRAINING PREPARATIONS
The Scissorsafe trainer will bring a Rescue kit and man-sized dummy ( weight 150kg).
Temporary parking arrangement and assistance required to unload / reload the Trainer’s vehicle and carry the equipment to the demonstration area.

TRAINING AREA
A safe area of concrete deck with Anchor points, Temporary edge protection in place and a nominated supervisor to manage the area.
The Trainer can conduct theory and practical elements of this course in this area which must be of sufficient area to maintain two metres between delegates, supervisor and trainer.
Ideally this area will be on a lower floor of the structure or alternatively over a Canti-deck – this makes the lowering of the dummy faster and speeds up the process of one to one practical training.
Each of the delegates nominated for rescue training will be required to retrieve a weighted dummy back onto the floor he is operating on.
The delegates will have to have shown competence in the Work Restraint session and have permission to work on an unprotected edge of slab using the Work restraint.

SUPERVISION
A nominated supervisor is required to remove a small section of the temporary edge protection (one barrier width – approx 2.4 metres ) to allow a trained person connected to a Work Restraint, system to lower the dummy over the edge of the slab.
The dummy is laid flat near the edge of the slab, then pushed over by foot, there is no chance for the dummy to attach to the person pushing it over.

CERTIFICATION
Upon completion of training, delegates are assessed for for their understanding of the methods and rescue equipment that they have been instructed to use.
We will endeavour to ensure that all every trainee has reached a good level of competence through one to one instruction and repeated practise or explanations of the equipment and procedures.
Training certificates in paper and plastic card format are produced for all successful delegates.

Fall protection construction project LAX USA

SafetyRespect delivers fall protection to giant construction project in LA USA

Fall protection construction project LAX USA
At the world’s fifth largest airport, Los Angeles International Airport, a new automated people mover is currently being built to transport passengers between the terminals. We at SafetyRespect are proud to be a supplier of fall protection for the project.

More than 61 million people travel to or from Los Angeles International Airport each year, making the airport the world’s fifth largest in terms of passenger numbers. To make it easier for all these passengers to get between the terminals, a 3,5 km long high-speed railway with a total of six stations is currently being built – three within the central terminal area and three outside.

The construction project will run until 2022 and the system will be operational and open to passenger traffic in 2023. They have chosen to use fall protection from SafetyRespect to keep workers safe. Our barriers, posts and brackets have been installed on the parts of the track where the work is currently underway.
