Hospital Height Safety at the NHS

Hospital roofs are often cluttered with plant equipment, ductwork, and other obstacles that can make safe access for maintenance extremely challenging. At Altus Safety, we understand the importance of providing secure and efficient roof access solutions for healthcare facilities, where safety is paramount. To address these challenges, we have worked extensively across the UK, conducting thorough site surveys and providing detailed design drawings before manufacturing and installing compliant, bespoke roof access systems.

One of our recent projects involved installing roof safety units at an NHS site in Stockport. These units were designed with safety in mind, featuring handrails on both sides, non-slip treads, and highly visible yellow nosings. With these additions, maintenance teams can confidently navigate the rooftop without facing the hazards that typically come with such complex environments.

Altus Safety’s expertise in delivering custom roof access solutions ensures that future maintenance is streamlined, safe, and compliant with all regulations. By overcoming obstacles that would otherwise hinder safe access, we help hospitals maintain their facilities efficiently while protecting the health and safety of their staff. Our commitment to quality and attention to detail continues to make us a trusted partner for height safety solutions in healthcare settings.
