Fall protection
Personal fall protection systems for collective and individual fall protection when working on flat roofs
The workplace on the roof is associated with particular dangers. To ensure that the people carrying out care, maintenance and repair work are protected, the risk of accidents must be prevented by taking appropriate measures. These are precisely defined in the Occupational Health and Safety Act, in the Workplace Ordinance, in trade association regulations and other standards. Optigrün offers a range of different personal safety and fall protection systems for collective and individual fall protection while standing on flat roofs used and not used by people. These are all based on the same basic principle: a fall protection system supported by the greenery and traffic areas, which does not interfere with the roof waterproofing.
Collective protection
Collective fall protection refers to protective measures that minimize the risk of falling on flat roofs for several people at the same time, without the need for individual protective equipment. These measures, such as guardrails, remain permanently on the roof surface after installation and are effective regardless of the behavior of the people on the work surface.
Individual protection
Individual fall protection refers to personal protective measures that reduce the risk of falling on flat roofs for individual persons. Individual fall protection measures, such as cable systems and individual anchor points, only work in combination with suitable PPE and require active use by the person.
We will be happy to advise you on choosing the right fall protection system for your green roof or gravel roof. Please get in touch with our application technology team.
