Mansafe Testing

What are the UK regulations for Mansafe Systems?

In the UK, height safety is governed by a comprehensive set of regulations, including the Work at Height Regulations 2005. These regulations require duty holders to ensure that all work at height is properly planned, organised, and conducted by competent personnel. All our mansafe systems are BS EN 795 & BS 7883 2019 compliant.

Mansafe systems, being a crucial element in work-at-height safety, must adhere to these regulations. Regular testing ensures compliance with the standards set forth by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and other relevant authorities.

How Often Should I Test A Mansafe System?

Mansafe systems should undergo periodic certification by a competent height safety specialist annually however we would advise every 6-12 months or if there is a change to equipment.

We provide certificates of compliance & provide documentation of the system's adherence to safety standards and advise our clients maintain comprehensive records of all mansafe system tests, inspections, and certifications, and keep records accessible for regulatory inspections..

We document any repairs or replacements, and advise that personnel responsible for testing and inspection are adequately trained and competent in mansafe systems.

Mansafe system testing is not just a regulatory requirement; it is a crucial step in safeguarding the lives of those working at height. By conducting comprehensive and regular testing, height safety specialists contribute to the overall culture of safety and demonstrate their commitment to excellence in preventing falls and minimising risks in the UK's work-at-height environment.
