Working at Height

Working at Height is always a significant risk on-site. In 23/24, the HSE recorded 138 deaths in work-related accidents – and the leading cause of fatalities in work-related accidents is falls from height. There were 50 fatal falls from height in this period, be it on construction sites, groundworks, roofing, farming – a whole wide variety of industries. HERMEQ are here to help eliminate, or at least reduce the potential threat whilst working at height through both collective and personal protection by way of a variety of permanent and temporary edge protections and handrail systems, fall arrest systems and accessories, lanyards, and harnesses. We also have extensive installation and technical support to offer you the complete 360-degree service, from conception to completion.
