In Indian Industry, on top of the A.C. sheet roofs, the roof workers were left to the mercy of God if they worked without a rooftop catwalk system. Factory inspectorates, all over India, have made stringent rules to provide “SOME” safety system compulsory. Ours is the “ONLY” Patented, easy to use, light to carry system available. Use of rooftop safety system limits the speed of work and this was one of the main causes of neglecting the system while actually working on rooftop. Fragile A.C. sheets, the weak and the good ones look alike. Inadvertently stepping directly on these sheets, the height from which the worker falls, the object on which he falls are some of the factors making these accidents highly fatal.
Use of rooftop safety system limits the speed of work and this was one of the main causes of neglecting the system, while actually working on rooftop. The system would be observed, laid in a corner, unused, provided by the employer – the industry awarding the contract of rooftop jobs.
|
Introduction of ratings like ISO etc. increased Safety Demands. Now, industries would insist on tying of a net at the truss level under the roof.These nets are Bulky and quite cumbersome. Tying them is a time consuming, laborious & nightmarish job. With FACTOR OF GRAVITY, the net has to be strong enough because of the momentum of the falling worker from a height. Thus, this safer working procedure further limits the speed of the work and thus the output of work reduces to 25 - 35%. This creates reluctance and then deliberate negligence sets in, both, on the part of the contractor and the industry who employs him, as well. |

Here is a system, which will speed up the work without compromising on safety while working on rooftops.
Fabricare Rooftop KatNet System” consists of two essential parts :
ii) Fabricare KatNet System;
ii) Fabricare Rooftop Catwalk System.
Fabricare KatNet nets, in knotted construction, are made from polymer rope having 70 mm X 70 mm. mesh with overlocked border. The nets are made in suitable STANDARD PANEL SIZES of 15 Ft. X 5 Ft. They are light in weight. Carrying them to rooftop, spreading and fixing them is much EASY, than tying the net at truss level when the working on floor below is in progress. This system is Pending Patent No. 1388 / MUM / 04.
The accessories, “NYLOFIXERS” and clamps are specially developed. Rooftop Catwalk System, over the nets, in combination, is comfortably used without any obstruction,. The sides of the net are fixed at several points.
The advantages of combination are :
 Total SAFE AND SPEEDY work on fragile A.C. Roofs.
A lightweight net facilitates quick, trouble free and its easy installation.
Nightmarish Installation of BULKY and CUMBERSOME nets below roof is avoided when the activity on shop floor is on.
Standard panel lengths and widths allows planning the work in chamber instead of going to rooftop.
Availability of this SAFE COMBINATION would avoid friction between management & contractor in deciding the rates of the work
To get reed of the perennial NAGGING problem of RISKY roof work this system provides the roof worker an IDEAL & SAFE work place to work on.
