| The Soter Horizontal Safety Line System has been tested to BS EN795 & The Avisory Committee for Roof Work's latest publication the "Magenta" guide to testing. The very latest innovations in fall prevention or restriction are incorporated within the system. The unique "Hi-Load" Soter post allows a reater design flexibilty on all substrates, including metal profile sheet as thin as 0.4mm. |
  |
| Merely asking for a safety line abdicates design responsibility. In order to establish the requirements of a bespoke Horizontal Life Line, the need to access must be clearly understood. |
- Gutter cleaning & maintenance
- Access to air conditioning units
- Roof-light cleaning
- Plant & machinery access
- Solar or Photovoltaic panel maintenance
- Green roof maintenance
Whatever the design factors that are taken into consideration, the first option should always be to design the system to restraint. Download the NEW SoterBrochure here

Legislation "Hierachy Of Fall Protection"
'avoid work at height wherever possible' is well known HSE guidance, however where this is not possible, we are all responsible for minimising the risks. When roof access can not be avoided ALL current guidance dictates that a "work restraint system" is the best option.

Restraint or Arrest - What's the difference?
A typical restraint system would have lifeline running around the perimeter of a building's roof - 2.3m back from any potential fall. This allows for gutter maintenance - the most common reason access is required. This type of system requiresthe minimum amount of PPE training.
|
A fall arrest system requires more input form a dsign point of view and should always be backed up with published calculations applicable to the roof substrate. This type of system can require extensive PPE & system training.
