Tesco Maintenance Procedures Shock HSE
Tesco Maintenance Ltd and Tesco Stores Ltd have been prosecuted after a worker fell through a fragile skylight when carrying out repairs to the roof and gutters.
The HSE commented after the case that: “Contractors should treat all roofs with care and check before starting any work if they are fragile. I am shocked at a company the size of Tesco failing to take even basic precautions to prevent injury to its employees and further, to risk injury to the public”
Our Board-Walk system has been designed specifically to allow you to work safely on fragile roofs, particularly where rooflights and skylights are present. The open mesh walkway system allows access from eaves to ridge, whilst spreading the load on support battens to provide a safer working position.
