New Pisko SafeLine - fall arrest cable system makes rooftop working safer

Piristeel, which is part of Ruukki, launches its Pisko^® SafeLine fall arrest cable system, which ensures safe working on roofs. The cable system can be installed as a permanent element in Piristeel’s Pisko access walkways and ladders to create a continuous, safe access route and fall protection in accordance with building regulations. The user-friendly solution is both cost efficient and makes working on a roof safer and more productive.

The safety ropes traditionally used when working on a roof are usually attached to various points or to rail systems. On roof access walkways and ladders fitted with a Pisko SafeLine fall arrest cable system, the safety cable is attached to a sliding steel bracket, which moves with the user. An integrated cable system extending from the beginning of the ladder to the last point on the access walkway improves working safety since the user can remain safely attached to the system when moving from the ladder to the roof or from one access walkway to another.

The Pisko Safeline fall arrest cable system can be used on the roofs of residential buildings as well as on the roofs of industrial, commercial and public buildings. It is suitable both for steep roofs and gently sloping ones and can be fitted without the need to perforate the waterproofing. The Pisko Safeline system is made of stainless steel and the steel components come with a 50-year technical warranty. Initially, the SafeLine fall arrest cable system is available in Finland and Sweden, where it has also been type tested with Pisko access walkways. Eurofins Expert Service supervised the system testing and it has been awarded a RISE Research Institutes of Sweden certificate.

For designers, SafeLine fall arrest cable system products can be found in the Pisko product library maintained by Prodilib.

Pisko SafeLine is available from Piristeel installation partners and Ruukki Express outlets from May 1, 2022.
