Working at Height Safety & Roof Fall Protection
Working at height safety is critical on roof and floor decking projects, particularly during installation in exposed or high-level environments. Strong winds, live construction zones and restricted access can all increase risk to operatives and project timelines.
At RMD Profiles, we provide practical roof fall protection systems designed to keep teams safe while maintaining programme efficiency. Our experienced installation teams deliver compliant working at height solutions including safety netting, soft landing airbags and integrated fall arrest systems tailored to each project.
Working at Height Challenges on Decking Projects
Roof and floor decking installation often takes place at height, where weather conditions, open slab edges and live construction activity can create additional safety risks.
High winds can affect handling of decking sheets and materials, while restricted access and ongoing trades can make coordination more difficult. Effective working at height safety planning helps reduce delays, maintain productivity and protect operatives throughout the installation process.
Roof Fall Protection Systems
RMD Profiles supplies and installs roof fall protection systems for structural roof decking and floor decking works across the UK.
Our solutions are designed to support safe installation on steel frame, composite deck and refurbishment projects while meeting current UK working at height regulations.
Protection systems can be delivered as part of a complete decking package or as a standalone safety solution.
Safety Netting & Airbag Protection
Safety Netting Systems working at height
Safety netting provides collective fall protection beneath live work areas, helping reduce the risk of serious injury during roof and floor decking installation.
FASET-compliant systems can be installed before decking works begin and are ideal for multi-storey steel frame construction, slab edges and internal void protection.
Soft Landing Airbags
Soft landing airbags provide flexible fall arrest protection where safety netting is not practical, including restricted access zones, refurbishment works and smaller openings.
These lightweight systems are quick to install and support compliant working at height safety across a range of construction environments.
Working Safely in Live Construction Environments
Our teams regularly support projects operating within live construction programmes, refurbishment schemes and phased developments.
By coordinating directly with site managers and contractors, we help maintain safe working areas, minimise disruption and keep projects progressing safely and efficiently.
