HAS Folding Guardrail is a collapsible free-standing guardrail system that can be discretely lowered and stored out of site when safe rooftop access is not required.
The installation of free standing guardrail is an economic means of preventing falls from edges or openings. HAS Folding Guardrail has the added benefit of allowing the guardrail to be folded down out of sight when not in use. Many architects will applaud this feature as it does not spoil the lines of the building, unlike permanently fixed systems.
A simple one way hinge is reached by unscrewing a locking bolt, lifting the sleeve and folding of the guard rail. This hinge means that the guard rail can only be folded inwards only onto the roof preventing it from folding outwards.
 
The system complies with requirements of the HSE Specialist Inspectors Report 15 -1988 (now time expired), and also supports guidance contained in HS/G-33 health & Safety in Roof work, 1988.

Class A1 Anchor Devices to EN 795, BS 7883 and ISO 14567 supplied in stainless steel, galvanised steel or white PVC coated to suit all type of applications and substrates. Eyebolts installations can be designed for fall restraint protection, fall arrest protection or rope access requirements to meet the clients specific project requirements.
The positioning of the anchor should always be determined by a competent person, following the recommendations of BS 7883:1997 clause 8 where appropriate. Installation should also follow Appendix A of EN 795 and also BS 7883, and must always include testing procedures detailed in the appropriate clauses of those standards. Never use eyebolts other than EN 795 as Fall Protection Anchor Devices - the wrong eyebolts in the wrong situation could prove fatal.
Eyebolts available:
Standard 100mm Eyebolt for use with knurled inset in brick, concrete and masonry etc, as per figures 7 & 8 of BS 7883:1997
Longer 152mm Eyebolt can be used for use where deeper fixing is necessary
75mm Shank length is for use only on steel structures, see BS 7883:1997 Fig 9
Our safety eyebolts for use in brick, concrete and masonry have a 16mm diameter unthreaded shank to plug a drilled hole, thus reducing the bending effects which would result in easier failure during shear loading. These safety eyebolts can be used by fixing to an outside or inside face of a structural element adjacent to the window or other access. They are manufactured from either high tensile carbon steel with a galvanised or plastic-coated finish, or grade 316 stainless steel bright polished.
Periodic Inspection:
BS 7883 requires that all safety anchor devices are removable for periodic inspection. This is easily achieved by using our Knurled Inserts in conjunction with Resin Casuals.
M12 Female Threaded Knurled Inserts are available in lengths of 76mm, 102mm and 150mm to suit varying installation situations. 76mm long sockets should only be used in Dense concrete.
Threaded Connectors to extend eyebolts, for use as Through-Bolts (BS 7883:1997 Fig. 10) The associated All-Thread is also available.
PPE Warning Disc:
This is required to comply with Appendix A of EN 795 which states:
"Where an anchor device is intended to be used exclusively for personal protective equipment it should be clearly marked by pictogram or other clearly seen and understood marking on or near the anchor device, clearly stating that the device is designed exclusively for use of personal protective equipment".
Cantilever Anchor Devices:
For use in dry lined walls or in conjunction with cladding
In situations where the anchor device is required to protrude beyond the surface of the load bearing structure, it is essential that appropriate resistance to bending is incorporated into the installation.
Spacer Sleeves:
Where the distance from the face of the load bearing structure to the collar of the eyebolt does not exceed 25mm a spacer sleeve may be placed under the eyebolt collar to provide the necessary support.
Criteria for their use:
 Use only in conjunction with 100mm or longer anchor devices, designed for use in brick, stone, concrete etc. Do not use in conjunction with anchor devices which are threaded to within 50mm of the collar. Use only with resin bonded knurled inserts of at least 100mm overall length. Knurled inserts to be resin bonded at least 50mm below surface of load bearing structure. Spacer sleeve must pass through cladding, plaster etc, and be in direct contact with the load bearing structure.
Cantilever Sockets:
Where the distance from the face of the load bearing structure to the collar of the eyebolt exceeds 25mm, special cantilever sockets are available. Where the distance to be bridged exceeds the recommended length then special advice should be sought.
General Requirements:
Maximum permitted in service force = 6kN design capability = 10kN as per EN 795, all users must be protected by the provision of an energy absorber to EN 355.
Load bearing structures and chemical fixings must be able to withstand 10kN pull out force.
Each individual installed anchor device must be subjected to a 5kN pull out force as per EN 795 Appendix B and BS 7883.
It should be noted that, when installed into materials of less than 20 N/mm² compressive strengths, there may be local crushing/compacting around the drilled hole at fall arrest.

A removable, single point anchor device to EN 795 Class A1, ISO 14567 Class A1 and BS 7883 Class A1. Eyebolt installations can be designed for fall restraint protection, fall arrest protection or rope access requirements to meet the clients specific project requirements.
A safety eyebolt offering an unobtrusive solution to traditional eyebolts on and in more prestigious buildings. The permanently installed grade 316 stainless steel anchor socket is concealed by a flush fitting white plastic cover, which blends in with most interior designs.
Equipped with the removable eyebolt at the end of his lanyard, the operator uses a simple 'key' action with sprung locking movement, to provide fast and safe attachment. The eyebolt is able to rotate 180 degrees whilst still attached to the socket to provide the best orientation in event of a fall arrest situation, and can only be removed by five simple, separate but deliberate, sequential movements.

A discrete Ladder Lashing System removes the need for a second person to 'foot' the ladder and provides a stable working environment for a trades pesron to work from ladders alone.
Every year many people are killed or injured whilst using ladders. More than half of these accidents occur because ladders are not securely placed and fixed. The unexpected movement of the ladder, such as the top sliding sideways or the foot slipping outwards can cause loss of balance and a fall. Ladderlash Ladder Ties were developed to provide a secure ladder lashing system for people working at a height from ladders.
Ladder Ties are used to secure portable ladders to prevent slipping. They should be used wherever a ladder is the means of access to a point above first floor level. BS 8213 recommends that when ladders are used they should have a level and firm footing and the ladder should be attached using either ropes or straps to an anchor fixed to the wall. The ladders should be fixed on either side with a series of rings fixed at a distance of 3m - 5m apart. The height should be no more than 2m above ground level and should be secured at the top of the ladder when in use.
Ladder Straps removes the need for any second person to 'foot' the ladder and can be easily assembled or removed providing a safe working environment at an economical price.

A self contained portable anchor device for rope access workers that meets the requirements of IRATA Industrial Rope Access Trade Association and BS 7985: 2002 Code of practice for the use of rope access methods for industrial purposes. This device does not require fixing to the roof surface and therefore can be dismantled and stored out of site when not in use. The device can lift the working ropes 1400mm above the roof surface to clear standard handrail heights of 1100mm and therefore avoid unnecessary loadings to the handrail systems.
Assists users to work in accordance with BS 7985 - Code of Practice for the Use of Rope Access Methods for Industrial Purposes. This provides:
- A mobile fall protection unit for abseiling
- Requires No attachment to structural members
- NEL tests prove it does not migrate in fall - event (even with one user plus rescuer)
- Does not penetrate roof
- Suitable for most flat roof surfaces (up to 5 degrees)
The device is designed to provide the following additional benefits:
When correctly installed, provides an 'internally force-balanced' system, which does not require anchoring to the roof or other structure. It is extremely stable and will not migrate across the roof surface, either in normal use, or when arresting the fall of both worker and rescuer. This anchor system provides full fall arrest protection, before approaching the edge, during assembly.
The product is intended for single person use, but in case of rescue, has been tested for two persons plus equipment up to a working load limit of 200kg. Access lines are held away from the side of the building, greatly reducing the risk of abrasion. An anchor point for rope access and safety lines that can be moved along the roof surface as required, removing the need for multiple attachment points. The supplied parapet assembly tripod legs enable easy access and egress over parapet edges.
The device has been designed for easy transportation and installation, being of modular construction, with no part weighing over 25kg or 2m in size. It is made from aluminium, galvanised or rubber coated parts requiring a minimum of simple maintenance.
The device is manufactured in factory and conforms to BS EN ISO 9002, and CE marked to the PPE Directive.
Do not use this equipment for any other purpose than that for which it is intended. If you are in any doubt, please contact us. All users must be fully conversant with the instructions for use supplied with this device, and trained to relevant rope access guidelines.

The Scaffolding ring bolt is specially designed to support free standing scaffolding, through correct installation in conjunction with an M16 anchor. HAS can provide HAS can provide complete design advice, calculations, supply, install, inspection and testing to the current British Standards.
Safe working load of eyebolt is 12.5kN in tension. Minimum breaking load of eyebolt is 65kN in tension. Each individual eyebolt is proof tested to 25kN during manufacture. Each ringbolt is also galvanised to EN 1461.
The shear strength of the installed anchor is dramatically improved by setting the anchor as deep as possible - thus providing added resistance to bending and subsequent fracture. When the ring bolt is removed the hole should be 'plugged', to prevent ingress of water, by the use of a plastic cover cap.
Ringbolts may be installed into the inner leaf structure. This requires the extension of the shank by the addition of a threaded adaptor and M16 threaded rod.
Ringbolts are intended for 'Push - Pull' loading, tensile or compressive loads only. They should be incorporated into the scaffold to avoid significant lateral loading. If this is unavoidable then the bending strength of the ringbolt is optimised by setting the anchor as deep as possible while still giving adequate access for clips and fittings. When used in a cladding application the avoidance of lateral loading is absolutely vital as this can cause cladding units to fail.
