A free, ‘comprehensive illustrated guide to safe and effective site access’ published by multi-specialist engineering contractor, ECEX, explains “how access is a critical contributory factor to the safety of building services engineers and maintenance teams who install and service plant on roofs and other ‘hardto-get-at areas’”.
Access all areas describes how to assess the risk and select appropriate access equipment, outlines relevant legislation, and explains EN 1090, a mandatory standard for any organisation that designs and/ or manufactures structural/ construction steel or aluminium components such as pipework step-overs, platforms and railings, walkways and gantries, and access staircases. It also contains a comprehensive contact list of useful organisations.
John Grenville, ECEX’s MD, said: “ECEX has a wealth of experience and expertise in creating effective access solutions developed over many years, so we are well placed to offer the best help and advice on the topic.”
