Working in roof spaces
and attics -
For personal safety when working in roof spaces,
attics and lofts, while avoiding collateral damage, the 240 Mat:
Prevents falls through ceilings
• Provides a safe working platform for inspections, refurb and maintenance work, plumbing, electrics, aerial rigging, etc
• Is electrically insulated; meeting portable appliance electrical test standards
• The closed 240 Mat is easy to carry into the building and is simple to insert up through a hatch into the roof space, loft or attic
• Inside the roof space, the 240 Mat is opened up across the rafters to form a light but strong working platform. It is easy to move and adjust to provide optimum coverage for the work to be conducted – even in restricted spaces
• Two sizes are available; typical open sizes are: 2.0 x 0.8 m; 1.6 m2 and 2.0 x 0.95 m; 1.9 m2
• The 240 Mat has a layer of tough insulation tested for 230-240 Volt safety to the European Norm / British Standard (IEE) portable appliance test (PAT) criterion
The 240 Mat helps building operatives meet HSE safety requirements whilst improving the efficiency of work in restricted spaces in roof attics
