If you’re reading this article, you know lifeline systems are essential for keeping your workers safe.
As professional construction and industrial managers, our workers face fall hazards daily. As contractors, safety officers, and project or industry managers, we all understand that proper planning is the critical first step.
According to the standard – work at height without compromising safety
With over 12 years of experience in diverse structures and varying field conditions, we have accumulated extensive professional knowledge in planning engineering security solutions. This planning is based on the specific needs of each structure and roof. During site inspections, we often encounter buildings that require complex planning due to their age, renovations, or structural changes. In these cases, creative thinking and engineering planning are necessary to install a proper and secure lifeline system according to European standards and Israeli height work laws, without compromising safety.
Developing the G-line Modular Lifeline System
We have thoroughly designed and refined the G-line modular lifeline system to adapt to unique structural conditions, such as gaps in roof level height and various roof constructions like concrete and tin. This system can be adapted to different types of roofs, including:
- Corrugated sheets
- Insulated panels
- Light-zip roofs
- Fragile roofs
- Various work and tread surfaces
Planning the Work
After assessing the field conditions, we collaborate closely with the company’s engineering team and installation managers. Their system knowledge and construction expertise help us adapt all the lifeline system details to integrate seamlessly into the building’s roof. This ensures, the worker’s movement along the lifeline is as safe as possible.
Planning may include adding internal or external, mobile or stationary structures to which the lifeline system is connected, ensuring safe installation and maximum worker security. Our field experience shows that investing in developing unique structures is sometimes necessary to meet European standards and required load capacities. Strict attention to adapting the system to on-site conditions is crucial for ensuring durability, proper use over the years, and reducing wear and tear.
After Planning – Installing the System
At the end of the planning phase, and only after approval by a structural engineer specializing in lifeline systems, the installation team receives precise instructions for placing anchors. This enables safe and efficient installation that meets site requirements and legal standards.
By mapping the conditions of the structure and roof and employing a creative approach backed by professional knowledge, GOVA-Lifeline creates access for working at height in buildings and spaces that previously did not allow it.
A high-quality and safe lifeline system, based on proper planning, suits the needs of your structure. This provides peace of mind and security for the safety officers at your site, ensuring workers can safely access roofs without the risk of falling.
