Free-standing roof edge protection

Fall protection precautions are not only a legally regulated obligation during installation but also during subsequent maintenance and servicing work on technical installations or green areas on flat roofs. According to the provisions of Section 4 of the German Occupational Health and Safety Act (Arbeitsschutzgesetz) as well as several other rules and regulations, permanent collective protective measures always take precedence.

Responsibility and liability

The jurisdiction and responsibility for safety devices does not end with the planning and executing companies; building owners and plant operators are also liable when it comes to safety matters. In the event of claims, shortfalls are inspected at every point of the chain of responsibility, i.e. contractor, owner, building owner, planner, safety coordinator and operator.

Comparison of procurement and consequential costs

Experience has shown that particular attention is paid in the planning stage to the costs that arise from the mandatory installation of fall protection. However, the consideration of the investment is often extremely one-sided and short term. The consequential costs of an individual fall protection system (e.g. using PPEPF) are high and must not be ignored. Factors such as training with (rescue) exercises, the ban on working alone (greater personnel requirements), testing fees and cyclical procurement of new PPE can quickly tip the scales of the comparison calculation.
