just researching and looking into buying a fall arrest harness system for cleaning roofs etc any good recommendations ? Most only come with 2 mtr land line is that enough to move about or do you have to keep moving ladder along?

2 meters is supposed to be the max length you can fall without killing yourself 

Hire high access equipment for a better and safer job

The customer only wants the moss scraped off then treated with mossgo or algoclear etc  I thought roof ladder up roof with fall arrest attached would this not be very compliant with health and saftey?

Also got another roof job where they just want some tiles replaced so I thought it would be good for this also

[Smudger]

Roof ladder and fall arrest is health and safety compliant if all the necessary risks have been accessed, along with using correct ladders that have been inspected.

It's not for me to say, but I'd not ever fanny about with scraping a roof, long winded, hard work, dangerous, and the results even with algoclear don't compare to pressure washing it.

Company called spanset do harness traing course through HSS.

I've been on the Spanset course a few times.  They can tailor your training to your needs.

Fall arrest should really be a last resort.  You should be looking at a system that stops you falling in the first place if at all possible

Hi Chris  what do you use for cleaning of roofs or spraying roofs?

Do you have a telephone number ? It would be easier to answer your questions.

As you say to Kevin

'Tell us on here so we can all learn from your experience. Help everyone out.

Are you frightened of giving trade secrets away. He's asking you about cleaning a roof not what goes on at GCHQ

[chris scott]

Can't be bothered typing ( cleaning/accessing domestic roofs is fairly complex ).... but I appreciate your point.

[chris scott]

Give a man enough rope.... you know the rest.

Enough of this idle chatter. I would rather stare at a blank wall!!

Rob

A change from  your usual occupation of licking windows? Thats what I like to see somebody diversifying...is your business moving in a different direction  ?

[chris scott]

Only three people .....I'm losing my touch. I think you have mistaken me for somebody who cares.

[Rob_Mac]

I don't mistake you for anything other than what you are!
