TRAD TRAD SAFETY SYSTEMS Market leader in the design, manufacture and supply of fall safety solutions for the building, construction and maintenance industries. Established in 2005, TRAD Safety Systems has grown to become one of the largest suppliers and installers of safe working at height solutions in the UK. As part of the TRAD Group and a member of the Altrad group of companies, TRAD Safety Systems always endeavour to supply the ‘Total Solution’ to their customers, and work with companies from the house building, construction and roofing sectors to improve working practices, by designing and developing products to enable a safer method of working at height. TRAD Safety Systems can supply a diverse range of products, anywhere in the UK from a local depot and install or train as required. TRAD Deck TRAD Safety Decking is an innovative, market leading fall prevention solution for traditional build projects, predominantly house building. The system vastly improves safety compared to traditional methods such as airbags, and is significantly quicker to erect and dismantle compared to a bird cage scaffold. TRAD Internal Stair Unit TRAD Mini Catch Fan The TRAD Temporary Stair Unit is designed to allow safe access between floors during construction. It eliminates the use of ladders, making the movement of materials and tools between floors an easy and safe operation. The TRAD Mini Catchfan is a new innovation from TRAD Safety Systems. This unique system has been specifically designed with the scaffolding sector in mind. The TRAD Mini Catchfan offers significantly increased protection when it comes to the containment of falling debris over that of a traditional boarded scaffold fan. The lightweight single piece unit is constructed from aluminium for a quick and simple installation. It speeds up productivity, reduces accidents on site, and improves overall welfare and efficiency. An optional extended landing platform is also available to enable the unit to achieve a greater span over voids in town houses etc. TRADGuard Temporary Mesh Edge Protection The TRADGuard Mesh Barrier System is a proprietary temporary edge protection system. Highly versatile, with a range of attachments to suit a wide range of applications, TRADGuard is EN13374 compliant and is suitable for nearly all types of construction or situations where temporary edge protection is required. Designed and manufactured to the highest standards in Europe, TRADGuard boasts unrivalled strength, containment and flexibility. The TRAD Mini Catchfan consists of a 60x60mm net with a 20x20mm net overlay which gives the product energy absorbing properties. The system designed to catch falling debris rather than deflect it back into the building. Furthermore the fan can be raised up the building so you can keep the protection as close as possible to the working area. What makes the TRAD Mini Catchfan unlike any other safety net fan product on the market is that a crane is NOT required for its installation, or to move it up the building – it can all be done manually. It is often the case that when fans are required, the crane is no longer on site. Additionally the TRAD Mini Catchfan connects to the scaffold ledger rather than the standards meaning no adaptions are required to the scaffold to make it fit. 7
