Inspection, care and maintenance
Occupational health and safety law states that you must work safely at heights.
3.1
The Health and Safety Law
The Working Conditions Decree is a concrete elaboration of the Safe Working at Height Act. It states
that everything above 2.50 meters is 'working at height' and is therefore a situation with increased
risk of injury. This also means that all materials must be properly manufactured and checked in a
quality cycle. ASC Group tests all materials and performs strength calculations. The user must also
have the material inspected annually for defects. In addition, an RI&E must be conducted for each
project. It should determine whether this form of roof edge protection is suitable for the intended
use.
Annual control
Make sure all your roof edge protection devices are inspected annually by an approved inspector.
ASC Group can perform this inspection for you. In the net, in accordance with 1263-1, there are extra
pieces of net. These pieces of netting are intended to remain attached and should be checked every
year by a competent person. After four years, the net must be replaced.
Self-inspection
You can also inspect your ASC roof edge protection devices yourself. Before each use, you should at
least check the parts for damage (see section 2.5). We definitely recommend larger companies to do
a monthly inspection of all components and to record this inspection. If you are in doubt about any
damage, consult an authorized inspector.
Damages
Examples of the most common damages in aluminum roof edge protection:
•
Loose parts: if a welded part is loose, the protection is rejected.
•
Dents and/or holes: if there is a large dent in the aluminum or even a crack or hole in it, the
protection is rejected.
•
Contamination: If there is too much concrete, paint or other non-removable contamination
on the parts, the security is rejected. You can no longer judge whether the parts are still in
one piece.
What to do in the event of damage
If you find any damage and you feel it is not repairable, you should discard the part and replace it. If
a repair is possible, contact ASC Group for further information.
Repair
Repairing a component must be carried out by a certified body or person.
