Flat roof fall protection is incredibly important, because falling from a roof can be deadly. The latest HSE statistics show that falls from height are still the most prevalent cause of death among workers in Great Britain, accounting for 50 work-related deaths in 2023/24. This amounts to 36% of work-related deaths for that period.

When working at height, it's essential to have an effective fall protection system in place, for the safety of yourself and those around you.
For this month only, we've lowered the price of our IM200 Roof Anchor. This portable deadweight anchor device can be used by two people at once - it's ideal for preventing falls while working at height.
This type of anchor device is especially useful when you're working on a flat roof with no suitable anchor points.
The IM200 roof anchor usually costs £935.90 (plus VAT) - but until the end of August, we're offering it at the discounted price of just £833.32 (plus VAT). That's a saving of £102.58, or approximately 11% off!

A high school in Southport, Merseyside received a hefty fine last month after a worker fell off a roof and sustained multiple fractures.
The incident in question occurred in 2018. According to shponline.co.uk, the man was getting some footballs down from the roof of the school's sixth form centre when he lost his footing and fell more than 3 metres before hitting the ground.
A HSE investigation found that there were no fall protection measures in place to prevent an incident like this. An edge protection system or anchor point could have kept the worker from falling off the roof, but no such precautions had been taken, and so the governing body of Christ the King Catholic High School and Sixth Form Centre were fined £10,000 and ordered to pay costs of £5,851.50.
Falls from height are among the most common causes of injury and death in the workplace. Employers must ensure that appropriate safety measures are in place before allowing staff to work at height.
