Safety Gear A Temporary Fix

Safety systems are getting to be an important part of the building maintenance industry. Legislation has made sure that no worker is exposed to danger while on duty. Today, the construction industry is facing a lot of challenges to its safety procedures, as market demands higher vertical constructions.

The industry is a long way from dispensing with human workers to carry out building maintenance functions. And while the industry has designed new ways of making building maintenance activities a lot faster, there will always be the matter of the cleaning the outside of a building. Maintaining the outside of a building is a difficult and dangerous job, especially in skyscrapers and towers. The wind that flows around the upper part of a tall building is stronger than the wind flowing closer to the ground. The structure itself breaks its flow, so the wind wraps around the building to get through it. This causes turbulence, putting maintenance workers in great danger.

To combat this condition, the building maintenance industry are trying to develop new working platforms that are more stable, giving workers a secure surface from which to work on. A platform should be firmly attached to the building, but having multiple platforms permanently attached to the building are both unsightly and expensive; for now, workers are left with no choice but to use platforms that dangle from ropes attached to the roof.

In order to prevent fatal accidents, workers are equipped with safety harnesses. The harnesses are strapped to a long rope, which is connected to a roof anchor. If a strong gust knocks a worker off the platform, the rope will stop the worker from falling to the ground.

Multiple roof anchor points are usually attached to a building. This way, workers can work on multiple platforms at the same time. This allows reduced maintenance times without compromising the safety of the crew. Sometimes, even heavy and expensive equipment are attached to safety ropes to avoid them from falling off and getting destroyed.

A roof anchor is a simple tool that has saved countless lives and helped many corporations in keeping their building clean and properly maintained. Although stable, fixed platforms are yet to be developed, workers working in dangling baskets can feel safe, whether they're cleaning windows or painting the buildings walls.
