Following a comprehensive compliance review of the onsite safety wire systems, the duty holder opted to upgrade their fall protection measures in line with the Hierarchy of Risk. Their goal was to implement a collective edge protection solution across their roof areas. 

This upgrade provided several key benefits for both the duty holder and the end users:

• No Roof Penetration: The installation required no penetration of the roof, preserving it's integrity.
• Enhanced Operational Capacity: Unlike the previous system, which limited roof access to only two operatives at a time, the new solution allows for multiple workers to safely operate simultaneously.
• Simplified Training: Operatives no longer require extensive training or harnesses to access the roof, streamlining operations and reducing downtime.
• Full Roof Access: The new system enables unrestricted access to all roof areas, overcoming the previous limitations imposed by lanyard lengths in the safety wire system.
