2 SUREGRIP SYSTEM Safesite Suregrip Walkway System INTRODUCTION Working on roofs can be extremely dangerous, especially in wet or wintry conditions. Safesite's Suregrip provides a means of access to and across roofs, allowing maintenance or emergency work to be carried out in complete safety, even in hazardous conditions. Ideal for use on flat, cladded or fragile roofs, Safesite's Suregrip is an adaptable free standing walkway system. The system is constructed from weathergrade UPVC material which prevents deterioration from exposure to the elements. The UPVC material also includes a unique patented non-slip surface which provides a sure footing along the length of the system. The system is completely free standing and does not require any fixing through the roof membrane. Stainless steel bolts join the components together to provide a maintenance free system. When required, Suregrip can be easily removed to allow routine roof work, such as gutter cleaning, to be carried out. Suregrip is manufactured in standard white or brown 3 metre lengths and is available in eight standard widths. 'T' bearers on each plank transfer the load of the walkway to the roof membrane or deck. The system's flexible design allows all roof shape and sizes to be accommodated. Suregrip can also be cut and shaped to suite even the most awkward of roof details. A Standard 3 metre panel length will require 9 pieces of T bearer running crossways. The HSE recommends minimum widths of 430mm (600mm when materials are being carried), although this may not be possible in a gutter situation. STEP UNITS Safesite Suregrip steps can be stepped and levelled up to 45 on most roof types. The steps can be either free standing or fixed to the roof covering. LEGISLATION Safesite Limited designs and manufacturers its equipment to the highest standards. Suregrip has been designed to ensure compliance with a number of regulations including:- HSG 33 Health & Safety in Roofwork Construction (Design and Management Regulations) 2007 Work at Height Regulations 2005 Construction (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1996 Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 BBA APPROVED 64
