With a high percentage of construction and maintenance related activities being carried out at height it is essential works are carried out in a safe manner using appropriate approved and tested means of fall protection wherever necessary. Regulations also require all fall protection systems to be tested periodically.
HBS have a commitment to achieve the highest standards of health and safety and are actively involved with training providers to promote safe and adequate design, selection, installation and education for height safety systems, which must be specifically designed for the task at hand. We work with market leading suppliers, consultants and structural engineers to ensure the optimum solution for height safety.
Height safety systems designed, installed and maintained include:
- Type A Anchor Devices
- Resin Bound Anchor Points (eye-bolts)
- Through (cavity) Anchors
- Inclined Roof Anchors
- Post Anchors
- Mushroom Anchors
- Anchors into Steelwork
- Removable Anchors
- Wire Cable Systems
- Davit Arms
- Ladders
- Edge Protection/Guard Rails
- Mobile Elevated Working Platform (MEWP) / Powered Access – operated or supply only

We are qualified in the selection, installation, testing and periodic examination of Type A anchor devices in accordance with BS EN 795: 2012 (Personal Fall Protection Equipment, Anchor devices), BS 7883: 2019 (Personal Fall Protection Equipment, Anchor systems, System Design, Installation and Inspection) and essential regulation BS 8610: 2017 (Personal Fall Protection Equipment, Anchor Systems, Specification).
We can often advise on suitability of devices simply by reviewing installation reports, images and structural calculations where relevant, so please don't take any risk and call us for free advice or a quote to carry out inspection of your systems.
