OVERVIEW
Despite its modern amenities and striking design, ensuring the safety of workers and visitors in a building of such stature posed a significant challenge. With several stories towering above ground level, maintaining proper fall protection measures became paramount.
The need to comply with stringent safety regulations while providing unobstructed views from the terraces presented a unique dilemma for the management of 33 Charterhouse Street.
To address these challenges effectively, Eurosafe, a leading provider of innovative safety solutions, was engaged to devise and implement a comprehensive safety plan tailored to the unique requirements of 33 Charterhouse Street. The solution included:
Installation of Horizontal Fall Protection Cable System
Eurosafe installed a state-of-the-art horizontal fall protection cable system across strategic locations of the building. This system ensured that workers could move freely across the terraces and other elevated areas while being securely tethered to prevent falls.
Annual Inspection and Maintenance
Recognising the importance of regular maintenance for safety equipment, Eurosafe organised an annual inspection of the installed fall protection systems. This proactive approach ensured that any potential issues were identified and addressed promptly, maintaining the efficacy of the safety measures.
Employee Training
To empower employees with the knowledge and skills required to utilise the installed safety equipment effectively, Eurosafe provided comprehensive working at height training sessions. These sessions covered proper usage techniques, emergency procedures, and general safety guidelines, equipping employees with the confidence to navigate elevated areas safely.
Supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
In addition to installing safety systems, Eurosafe supplied the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) required for employees to use the installed systems safely. This included harnesses, lanyards, and other safety gear, ensuring full compliance with safety regulations and standards.
