- Accessing building rooftops for line-of-sight equipment
- Installing or repairing aerial fibre or overhead copper
- Near open chambers or deep excavation edges
Fall arrest kits and harnesses are legally required where a fall risk of over 2 metres exists. All equipment should meet EN 361/EN 358 standards and be inspected regularly.
Water sampling kits are used to check for contamination and water safety when working in:
- Underground chambers or ducts
- Rural sites near water courses
- Flood affected installations
They help prevent environmental contamination incidents and comply with utility and local authority guidelines for working near drainage networks.
