Premier Technical Services Group Ltd (PTSG) has been contracted to provide specialist Access & Safety services at a new regeneration scheme from Brent Council.
Wates, the main contractor, will create 99 new council homes in Church Road, Church End, which is set to help transform the area. As part of the regeneration scheme, there will be a new market square and a range of shops at the site where a car park once stood.
By 2041, the area will boast 1,300 new homes along with hundreds of new employment and training opportunities and improved infrastructure. This particular project in Church End will enable Wates and Brent Council to invest in the local community through the generation of 16 apprenticeships and a minimum of 20 objective-based work placements for local people.
In this contract (with Wates), engineers from PTSG Access & Safety Ltd will install lifelines, a handrail, step-overs and ladders to enable safe working conditions for maintenance operatives.
Fall protection systems comprise both fall arrest and fall restraint systems. Fall arrest systems are used to stop the fall of a maintenance worker before contact with a surface, thus preventing any serious injury – or any injury at all. They include devices such as full body harnesses, horizontal lifelines and anchor points (fixed or mobile).
