You must maintain a safe, compliant worksite, and this includes mitigating risk and optimising height safety for workers operating on rooftops or otherwise at height. Using the right, high-quality safety lanyards and ropes that are fit for purpose for your specific role and worksite is essential.
In terms of safety rope used for roofing, modern synthetic products have revolutionised safety for both workers and rescue operations. Polyester rope is static, requiring shock absorbers to be used if falling is a risk. Kermantle rope, on the other hand, is constructed with two distinct layers: the kern (core) dictates the rope’s load-bearing capacity and strength, while the mantle (sheath) provides a protective, abrasion-resistant outer layer; these ropes may be static or dynamic.
From pole straps to harnesses and everything in between, RISSafety provides industry-leading height safety products to keep your workers safe and your project site operating lawfully. We carry polyester and Kernmantle safety rope for roofing in a variety of lengths from 15m to 60m and with attached rope grabs. We also carry shock absorbers to maximise user safety and comfort.
