Fall Arrest Systems
The increased frequency of maintenance and inspection work to roofs and to facilities such as chimneys, satellite dishes, solar collectors, mobile telephony masts and air conditioning systems has led to increased incidents of injury and death.This is reflected in a brief guide to The Work at Height Regulations published by the Health and Safety Executive that states "In 2003/04, falls from height accounted for 67 fatal accidents at work and nearly 4000 major injuries. They remain the single biggest cause of workplace deaths and one of the main causes of major injury."
The Zoontjens BIBO® Fall Arrest Systems comply with the specification for personal protection measures set out in the Work at Height Regulations.
View and download the BIBO® brochure There are two BIBO® fall arrest systems, BIBO® Lifeline and BIBO® Anchor. They enable full and safe access to flat roofs, suitable for any maintenance or inspection regime. In both systems, maintenance and inspection personnel wear safety harness belts fitted with lanyards with rope adjuster, or self-retracting line:
BIBO® Lifeline - consists of a lifeline attached between two BIBO® Blocks/Corners. A lanyard is then attached to the lifeline.
BIBO® Anchor - consists of the lanyard attached directly to a single BIBO® Block/Corner.
BIBO® Block
the main common component of the two fall arrest systems, is a concrete slab 900 x 900 x 105mm with an embedded 800mm diameter ring of 12mm diameter grade 316 stainless steel forming the anchor attachment points where they are exposed at the block edges.View and download BIBO® case studies
