In the United Kingdom alone, stair-related incidents contribute to over 500 fatalities and an estimated 250,000 non-fatal accidents annually. At Relinea, we recognise that ensuring the safety of employees is paramount in any workplace. Particularly when working at heights, inherent risks exist, emphasizing the need to be proactive in identifying and mitigating potential hazards.
Protecting Your Workforce and Your Business:
Implementing working-at-height systems, such as Access Ladders, goes beyond safeguarding workers—it safeguards the future of your company. Installing an Access Ladder not only prioritises the well-being of your employees but also aligns with the Working at Height Regulations 2005, addressing the essential aspect of safe access during elevated work.
Precision in Design:
While the Working at Height Regulations provides guidelines, exact design specifications for fixed roof access ladders are not stipulated. This is where Relinea stands out—our roof access ladders adhere to stringent standards such as ISO 14122-3:2016 and BS 5395-1:2010. By incorporating safety cages designed to these standards, our ladders ensure compliance with the Working at Height Regulations 2005, ensuring:
- Strength, stability, and rigidity
- Placement on a stable, robust surface
- Sufficient room for user safety passage
- Fall prevention measures, including safety cages
- Fixed access for regular work
The Revolution of GRP Access Ladders:
The construction and industrial sectors have witnessed a revolution with the introduction of Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP). Relinea’s GRP access ladders offer exceptional corrosion resistance, an impressive strength-to-weight ratio, and resilience in harsh environments.
Safety Through Touch:
The unique warmth of our Re-Grab GRP Safety Access Ladders is more than a tactile feature—it’s a safety consideration. In outdoor contexts, where traditional ladders might succumb to extreme temperatures, our GRP ladders remain safe to climb, unaffected by cold or excessive heat.
Versatility Beyond Compare:
Traditional access ladders often succumb to corrosive industrial settings and challenging weather conditions. Enter GRP access ladders, designed for longevity with a 50+ year design life. Their non-conductive properties make them ideal for environments with electrical considerations, adding an extra layer of versatility.
Outperforming Conventional Materials:
Relinea GRP Ladders outshine traditional steel, aluminum, and wooden counterparts across key criteria, boasting a high strength-to-weight ratio, low maintenance costs, easy installation, durability, corrosion resistance, and non-conductive properties.
The Future of Workplace Safety:
Long-lasting, durable, and easy to install, our GRP access ladders embody corrosion and chemical resistance, requiring minimal maintenance. From offshore installations to wastewater treatment plants, these ladders prove adaptable in environments demanding unwavering performance. Elevate your workplace safety with Relinea’s GRP access ladders—where innovation meets reliability.
