FRAMING AND ROOFING
A safety device must
be put in place before
working on a roof for
protection in case of
slips or falls.
The type of system
is determined by the
length of the operation.
If the operation is long,
it should be protected
by collective protection
in order to eliminate any
risk of falling. If it is a
short-term, temporary
operation, individual
protection is used.
PPE is generally
necessary for installing
the collective protection,
if the building is not
already equipped with
it. In this situation, there
is a great risk of falling.
Each person must use
a fall arrest system
(for example, energy
absorber with mobile fall
arrester and safety rope).
If collective protection is
present and adequate
for fall protection, a work
positioning system with
adjustable lanyard is the
perfect solution.
VERTEX BEST and VIZIR SHADOW
With its strong chinstrap, the VERTEX BEST helmet sets the
standard in head protection for workers at height. Its closed shell
ensures protection against electrical hazards and molten metal
splash. Its six-point webbing suspension ensures comfort, and its
CenterFit adjustment system adjusts the headband and keeps it
centered on the head.
The VIZIR SHADOW visor ensures eye protection and integrates
perfectly into the helmet. It has a level 2.5 solar protection filter with
anti-scratch and anti-fog treatments.
