FANQUIP says it now provides a roof safety analysis to ensure servicing operations of roof-mounted ventilation systems are compliant with WorkCover expectations.
In most cases in the engineering and manufacturing sector, fan-driven ventilation systems are located on rooftops and are therefore difficult to access when servicing is required.
Fanquip says it encounters many cases where a standard installation and maintenance specialist is called into service in a near-emergency scenario.
In such situations, technical engineers have little time to investigate the safety levels of the rooftop work environment and therefore are exposed to a potentially risky worksite.
Fanquip’s roof safety analysis service ensures the work environment is safe before emergency operations. The company's installation engineers make a critical appraisal of the fans and all associated equipment.
According to Fanquip, its service can help detect potential problems, such as the danger of parts being flung off the fan system at high speed.
Other parts which are inspected include ladders and access stairs, walkways and platforms, safety barriers, guard rails, connection points for safety harnesses, pumps and other utilities, the quality of power outlets and lighting, wiring, caging and casing, noise attenuation, emission control and motors.
