Netherlands - Venlo | In mid-September, RSS installed permanent fencing on the building of the Regional Fire Service for northern and central Limburg. According to Messrs Stultiens and Bouten of sector safety that was not a difficult decision: "Based on a risk inventory of our building, it appeared that walking on the roof and maintenance of the systems there could not be performed safely.

On the roof are various ventilation units and air conditioners that need an annual inspection. Most of these systems stand within 2 metres from the edge of the roof. The safety of internal and external technicians had to be guaranteed. After requesting information from the SBD (Roofing Industry Foundation) we were referred on to Roof Safety Systems BV in Venlo. They have just installed the first phase of 45 metres to our complete satisfaction."

The RSS system is completely in aluminium and is placed free-standing on the roof. The system is very light, quick to build up and, if necessary, easy to dismantle. The RSS system is certified by Aboma & Keboma in accordance with the highest standards in force at this time.
