CSS Worksafe Ltd

Single-point fall arrest anchors provide secure attachment for work positioning, fall arrest, fall restraint, rope access, and rescue tasks. Eyebolts and similar anchor systems help safeguard users working at height while performing external maintenance or construction activities.

Where access requirements are infrequent temporary fall protection systems can provide a cost effective and versatile solution to work at height issues.

Under the Work at Height Regulations, portable leaning ladders must be secured to prevent slipping. The updated INDG455 guidance, Safe Use of Ladders and Stepladders – An Employer’s Guide, also notes that if a worker cannot maintain a continuous handhold, additional protective measures must be in place to prevent or limit falls.

The CSS Worksafe ladder safety system enables compliance with both requirements. It allows the ladder to be secured from the ground before climbing, safeguarding the user from the moment they leave the ground through to the work area and back down again.

By attaching to a running line and rope grab during ascent, descent, and work, the system minimises both the likelihood and severity of a fall. In the event of an incident, the worker can self-rescue, removing the need for complicated rescue arrangements and helping to protect those working alone.

Our access ladder kit is a safe and easy-to-assemble modular ladder solution, made up of separate components that bolt together to create a BS4211-compliant system.

Each part is engineered to meet BS4211 and constructed from strong, lightweight aluminium, making handling and installation straightforward. Delivered to site in flat-pack form with full installation guidance included, the ladder can be quickly assembled and adjusted with only basic tools. The modular design removes the need for bespoke drawings and helps streamline the journey from specification to installation.

The Ladsaf™ Vertical Fall Arrest System has been trusted worldwide for over 30 years and meets major global standards including ANSI, CE and CSA. This means it can be installed internationally without needing different components for varying certification regions.

Designed for versatility, the system can be mounted to a broad range of structures, providing vertical safety on telecom towers, wind turbines, oil and gas facilities, and utility towers. It supports up to four users at once, each able to connect or detach the fall arrest device anywhere along the cable. The device can remain secured to the user, reducing the risk of dropped equipment and related downtime.

With options for galvanised or stainless steel cables and brackets, the Ladsaf™ system is suitable for both onshore and offshore environments.

Static fall protection gantries are intended for permanent installations and can be tailored to meet specific client requirements. Options typically include single or multiple vehicle access, multiple users, adjustable platform heights, weather protection, and a choice of finishes.

This vehicle access fall protection system uses a specially designed access platform paired with an overhead runway beam or gantry. Operatives are secured with a full-body safety harness and an inertia reel or fall arrest block, which works with the overhead structure to ensure safety while working on vehicles.

A key benefit of this system is its flexibility, as it can accommodate vehicles of varying sizes, heights, and lengths.

CSS Worksafe provides supply, design, and UK-wide installation of roof edge protection systems.

Roof edge protection systems offer collective fall protection for personnel accessing or working on flat roofs. When work at height is unavoidable, collective fall prevention sits at the top of the hierarchy of control measures, as outlined in the Work at Height Regulations 2005. These systems provide passive fall protection, requiring no specialist training or action from users to be effective.

We offer a range of free-standing and fixed handrail and guardrail systems, available in galvanised steel, stainless steel, and aluminium. Free-standing systems use a counterweight for stability, eliminating the need to penetrate the roof membrane, and allow for quick installation with minimal ongoing inspection and maintenance.

Our freestanding roof edge protection systems can be installed on concrete, PVC membrane, asphalt, and felt flat roofs with up to a 10-degree pitch. CSS Worksafe provides a full design and installation service across the UK.

Roof work carries a high level of risk, with numerous fall hazards such as fragile rooflights, exposed edges, and access hatches. Appropriate control measures are essential to minimise these risks. Recent fines of around £250,000 highlight the serious financial and safety consequences for building owners who fail to address roof work hazards.

When collective fall protection is not feasible, personal fall protection must be implemented. This often involves horizontal lifeline systems that attach to the roof sheeting rather than penetrating it, connecting back to the supporting structure. These systems typically consist of end anchor posts with intermediate posts at regular intervals to support the tensioned cable, limit deflection, and allow the system to navigate corners and obstructions. By carefully considering operatives’ access requirements and selecting suitable user equipment, fall protection systems can be designed to provide ‘fall restraint’ rather than relying solely on ‘fall arrest’.

With 20 years of experience in the design, installation, inspection, and recertification of fall protection systems, CSS Worksafe offers a wide range of cable and rail-based fall restraint and fall arrest solutions suitable for all types of roofs.

When unrestricted horizontal movement is essential and ground clearance is limited, the optimal solution is a runway beam or track used together with an inertia reel fall arrestor and trolley.

At CSS Worksafe, we are industry leaders in Europe, providing fall arrest systems, equipment, and training, height safety solutions, confined space equipment and training, as well as site surveys and inspections, all focused on ensuring safe working practices at height.

CSS Worksafe employs a relational database to manage data collected during fall hazard site surveys. The database can be tailored to suit each client’s specific data management and reporting requirements. Survey data can be entered directly into the database in real time. Photographs of fall hazards, access routes, and other relevant references can be automatically geo-tagged with GPS coordinates and assigned a unique ID, which is stored in the database. These images are linked to database records and can be easily retrieved for reporting. Additionally, risk assessments, rescue plans, recertification schedules, and virtually any other documents or information can be connected to the database records and accessed instantly for use in reports.

Under the Work at Height Regulations 2005 (effective 6 April 2005), anyone working at height must be competent.

The effectiveness of height safety training, like any training, depends on the quality of the provider, the syllabus, and the delivery method. At CSS Worksafe, all height safety training is delivered in accordance with the recognized standard BS 8454:2006, the Code of Practice for Training and Education in Work at Height and Rescue.
