HCL has been developing products and services for over thirty years becoming recognised industry leaders with an extensive client portfolio. As part of any arrangement, HCL Safety can help clients reduce the risk of an accident or incident by providing adequate information, instruction and training to employees working at height, a legal requirement for every organisation. As with all identifiable hazards, a systematic management approach will ensure that ownership is created thus ultimately leading to a reduction in risk. Before attempting to design a fall protection system there are simple questions that need to be answered. Organisations are required by law to produce a written Safety Policy and to make arrangements to ensure employees, visiting contractors and third parties (e.g. visitors and/or neighbours) are protected from unsafe conditions or unsafe acts (hazards) resulting from their undertakings. As the UK’s number one safety at height specialist HCL Safety regularly works in collaboration with organisations to help them meet their legal obligations by developing safe systems of work. The diversity of building materials used today provides different anchoring conditions for anchors but because of HCL Safety’s long and varied experience it is rare to find a base material that we have not already successfully fixed into. However, the properties of the base material play a decisive role when selecting a suitable anchor and determining the load it can hold. Additionally, the selection of the appropriate anchor component(s) and the fixing technique employed are also critical design issues, the determination of which is inextricably linked to the end performance requirements.
