In the hierarchy of risk management, the preferred option of eliminating the risk by locating plant and equipment in locations where there is no risk of  fall is not always achievable due to the design of the building. This is especially true on existing buildings which were built prior to the hierarchy being put in place.

The preferred option is to guard the hazard by providing a permanent barrier to eliminate the fall hazard. This allows safe access to plant on the roof by operatives not specifically trained in the use fall arrest equipment. Permanent barriers should be the first choice of protection to all areas where regular or emergency access may be required 24 hours a day.

Under the hierarchy of risk management, guardrail and passive protection is a preferred option to cable based fall protection systems and Eurosafe Solutions Ltd offer many types of protection including:
