Could you check my installation

[dersonik]

What about health and safety? Does the roofers need any special equipment on his body like special belts trousers and helmets if they working on scaffolding but they walking on roof later on ?

 

[Mrjmegson]

I'm sure they will, but don't really get the relevance of the question.

Sorry

 

[dersonik]

What kind of ppe they should have. Previous they had just safety boots no helmet no other ppe

Hey Binky, sorry, a little off track, but that's incredible that you find a lot of panels that aren't the correct size and shape. I'm amazed by that.

None are truly square, doesn't matter what make, although some are worse than others, but I've installed something like 40,000 panels, and they are all wonky on the frames.

Why would you need a hard hat or hi viz on a roof, unless the birds are nasty

 

[dersonik]

I used to work on cherry picker like cabling installer. Hiviz and hard hat plus special body belts (I don't know English name) otherwise no access to the cherry picker basket.

Lol. That made me chuckle.

40k panels, wow, that's incredible.

I can't understand why they are all so out of square, id have thought they were all mass produced by machine and would be totally uniform.

Strange. So I'll have to prepare myself for that bundle of fun then when I put mine up.

The harness you need in case the picker falls over. Hard hat I can understand if say working under things like edges of a roof or overhead cables/ pylons. But beyond that is H&S applied by a badly educated assessor. How does hi viz protect you in a cherry picker?

 

[dersonik]

I have no idea, just before they open basket they checking everything and it was with multiple cherry picker company

It doesn't, it does offer assistance if the things fallen over and you have a pile rubble on top you, for the rescue teams to find you.
