Electrical Contractor

Provide compliant fall protection for operatives during solar panel installation.
Ensure non-invasive mounting to preserve roof integrity and waterproofing.
Deliver a full lifecycle service: supply, install, inspect, maintain, and remove edge protection post-completion.

Design & Supply:
A modular, counterweighted edge protection system was selected to avoid roof penetration. All components were pre-certified to BS EN 13374 Class A standards.
Installation:
Operatives installed the system using manual handling protocols and tethered tools. RAMS included wind load assessments, exclusion zones, and emergency rescue procedures.
Inspection & Maintenance:
Weekly inspections were conducted throughout the solar panel installation phase, with documented compliance checks and photographic evidence.
Removal & Site Reinstatement:
Upon completion, the system was dismantled, components cleaned and returned to stock, and the roof surface inspected and signed off by the client’s facilities team.

Safety Assurance:
Zero incidents were recorded across the six-week installation period. The edge protection system enabled safe access for solar technicians, scaffolders, and M&E contractors.
Operational Efficiency:
The modular system reduced installation and removal time by 40% compared to traditional scaffold-based solutions, freeing roof access for other trades.
Client Confidence:
Full lifecycle delivery—including compliance documentation, visual branding, and post-removal reinstatement—reinforced trust and led to repeat business across the client’s property portfolio.
Sustainability Alignment:
The project supported the client’s ESG goals by enabling renewable energy infrastructure while maintaining safety and operational integrity.
Commercial Value:
The reusable edge protection system reduced long-term hire costs and positioned the contractor as a strategic partner for future green energy rollouts.
