Each item in our health & safety equipment range complies with the relevant British Standards and European safety regulations. With options for both personal and collective protection, our working at height equipment supports better planning and safer execution of overhead tasks. In addition to supply, we also offer technical guidance to ensure the correct use and installation of all health & safety equipment provided. The result is a more secure working at height environment, helping to prevent accidents before they happen.

Edge Protection System
HERMEQ temporary edge protection is manufactured in the UK and tested to BS EN 13374 Class A. Its mesh barriers are built to the Z type design, so they are compatible with the commonly used Z type systems and can join an existing run. The barriers are galvanised steel and finished with in-house powder coating.The system closes open edges on concrete slabs, stairs, steel frames and excavations. Posts lock into their fittings without tools, and each barrier has an integrated toe board to stop tools and materials going over the edge.

Stairways & Bridges
HERMEQ temporary stairs and bridges give safe, stable access between elevated working areas, from scaffold lifts and floor slabs to embankments and excavations. The range covers folding site stairways, modular steel stairways, spiral staircases, modular stair towers and pedestrian bridges, so teams move between levels, structures and platforms by stair instead of by ladder. Non-slip treads and handrails give firm footing and a secure hold, and the stairs work alongside scaffolding and other access systems.They connect scaffold decks, give interim access while permanent stairs are still to be fitted and take people across trenches and services. Contractors use them in construction, civil engineering, maintenance and industrial work.

Fall Arrest Systems
HERMEQ supplies fall arrest systems for working at height on construction and industrial sites, from personal harness and restraint kits to retractable fall arrest blocks, freestanding posts, overhead anchors, tripods and davit arms. Each set-up either keeps a worker back from an exposed edge or stops a fall and holds them until they are recovered.The range covers scaffolding, roofing, slab edges and formwork, confined space entry and trailer access in the transport and distribution sector, with anchor options for jobs where the structure has no fixed anchorage. Everything can be bought online with nationwide delivery.

Harnesses and Lanyards
HERMEQ supplies safety harnesses and lanyards for working at height in construction and industrial environments. The range covers full body harnesses with one to four attachment points, restraint lanyards and shock absorbing lanyards for fall arrest, with work positioning lanyards and connectors alongside, for scaffolding, roofing, steelwork and maintenance from MEWPs and ladders. Harnesses are made from polyester webbing with steel or aluminium fittings, and lanyards from polyester or polyamide webbing or polyamide kernmantle rope. Every harness conforms to BS EN 361 and every shock absorbing lanyard to BS EN 355. The full range is held as permanent UK stock.

Handrail Systems
HERMEQ supplies temporary handrail systems for construction, infrastructure and industrial sites, built from SG4 Shorguard handrail feet and high yield galvanised scaffold tube. The system is designed to go up without fixings into the structure, and the tube connects with standard scaffold fittings, so one set of components covers roof edges, slab edges, shaft openings and walkways. Both components are held as permanent UK stock and delivered nationwide.

Safety Fan Systems
Catch fans are now a common sight on construction sites in congested city centres, and anywhere with heavy pedestrian footfall around the scaffold or frame. They project out from the building to catch debris, tools and materials falling from the work above before they reach pavements, roads or neighbouring property. Because fans are in regular use, many site teams are already trained to install them. HERMEQ supplies two options, both manufactured in the UK: the Mini, which mounts to scaffolding, and the Safety Net Catch Fan, which fixes to slab edges, walls, steel structures or scaffolding. Both are fitted and moved by hand, without a crane.
