Handrail system

Safety at height specialist, Safetyworks
& Solutions, has provided roof safety
products at the new E.ON gas-fired
combined heat and power (CHP)
station, on the Isle of Grain in Kent.

The £500m power station
required 1580 linear metres of
Easyguard permanent freestanding
handrail, which was installed to
ensure safe access around the roof
perimeters of various buildings on
the site. Safetyworks specifically
designed the system to include an
increased angle on the post to
counter the angle of the roof.

The handrails were produced in
extra heavy duty versions, to
withstand the high winds expected
on the roof areas.
