Vertical Safety Line Testing & Recertification
Vertical fall arrest lines and rails on ladders and structures inspected, tested and recertified.
- Independent inspectors
- BS 7883 & BS EN 795
- Tagged & certified
- Midlands, South & Wales
Vertical safety lines and rails protect climbers on fixed ladders, towers, masts and silos. The guided fall arrester must lock instantly, and the line, rail and anchors must take the load.
We inspect the full vertical system, check the arrester operation, test where required and recertify it.
