Latchways fall arrest posts used at Hepworth Gallery
A bespoke system of 30 Latchways ManSafe® posts have been fitted at The Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield. The Gallery required access to their low pitched roofs to facilitate safe working at height when carrying out external glazing cleaning and general maintenance.
Due to the revolutionary thin roof construction, the end loads for the system needed to be severely restricted. In order to increase the amount of energy absorbed within the system, and therefore reduce the load back to the roof (should a fall occur), EuroSafe specified the use of a Latchways Super12 Shock Absorber per system.
