Demarcation System

KITS FROM ONLY £10 PER METRE

DEMARCATION INTRODUCTION

Safesite's demarcation system has been designed to provide a high visibility maintenance free system that will remain in place no matter what the weather. This non-fall arrest product has been introduced to satisfy the Health & Safety Executive guidance note HS/G-33 Health & Safety in Roofwork 1998 which recommends that demarcation systems should be immediately obvious and project above the main roof decking. Section 67 of the guidance also states that "markings at foot level are not a suitable alternative to a barrier," which implies that painted lines on roofs are no longer acceptable as a means of demarcation.

The Safesite Demarcation System is compact, portable, easy to assemble and features a unique post design which prevents the chain from becoming detached during adverse weather conditions. The system's base foot is formed from PVC and weighs 11kg which prevents the system from falling during severe weather. The system is further enhanced by a high visibility, two colour, polyurethane chain which is continually linked between the support posts.

DEMARCATION INSTALLATION

Installation of the system is quick and easy with the support posts set up to 3m apart and the chain linked to form a continuous demarcation route from the point of roof entry to the point of exit.

In many cases, demarcation is required to a specific piece of plant/equipment in the centre of a large roof. This is where the new economic demarcation system can be used in place of all arrest product solutions providing that the demarcation is set in at least 2m from the roof edge.

The system can equally be used at ground level for alternative types of demarcation such as trade shows, machinery demarcation, stately homes and castles.
