eurosafesolutions eurosafesolutions.co.uk The DHL Supply Chain A case-study of Brackmills Industrial Estate DHL DHL DHL's new supply chain campus in Brackmills, Northampton offers cost-competitive, flexible supply chain solutions that add value to businesses. This modern, purpose-built campus offers low cost, flexible warehousing managed by logistics industry experts and is set in a prime location with excellent communication and distribution networks. DHL WORLDWIDE EXPRESS® The Requirement As part of Stewarts Commercial Contractors refurbishment works, there was an internal office space erected and a hatch providing access to the roof area. Our scope of works included providing the following: Safe access from ground level, to the office roof area. Collective protection to the office roof area. Safe access from the office roof area, up the new roof access hatch. Additional systems from the hatch, to the existing cable systems on the roof. The Solution In order to provide safe access to the office roof area, we designed, supplied and installed an Ascent™M Access ladder. The Ascent™M Fixed Access Ladder provides a simple access solution to roof areas for maintenance and other occasional use. We opted for a freestanding weighted guarding system for the office roof. This allowed the guarding to be installed after construction had been completed. A unique low profile base design means there are no unsightly counterbalance weights. With regards to the additional cable system required at roof level, we installed the MSA Latchways Constant Force Post system. HSE Ladder Inspection, Steps, Walkways & Access Equipment Inspection Fixed Access Ladders, Stairs, Walkways & access equipment provide a safe means of access for staff and contractors. Often installed for planned maintenance purposes, they are a vital link in the chain. Regular HSE ladder inspection and testing is required as they fall under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) 1998. This must be carried out by a competent person and the findings of this inspection must be recorded. Ensuring that regular test & inspections of this equipment are completed, helps reduce costly down time.
