At HCL we recognise that no two fall protection requirements are ever the same. Reflecting this we have developed a service that is inherently flexible. At one extreme we can install a fall protection system exactly as specified on an architectural plan. Alternatively, at the other end of the scale, you can access our expertise for a total solution including site surveying, system design, system installation and testing.
Our project managers and technicians are expert at following architectural plans. We can resource all the fall protection system components and undertake the installation according to your exact specification.
HCL’s site survey capabilities are particularly relevant if you require a fall protection system to be installed retrospectively on an existing building or structure or if you have a system that is no longer fit for purpose. Our approach is to identify the unique characteristics of the situation and the safety at height need and then respond with an individually tailored proposal.
Whether you are the building owner, a managing agent, an architect, contractor or specifier, HCL can support you with a complete fall protection system design and specification service. We will assess the structure in question and, with our unrivalled technical knowledge and practical understanding of worker safety at height, propose the ideal system for your needs.
HCL fall protection system installations are undertaken by directly employed, highly trained technicians. We handle every aspect of the project including sourcing the components, installing the system and completing the commissioning tests prior to handover. If it is a new build project our operations will be scheduled to dovetail efficiently with those of other contractors. If it is a retrofit or replacement we will manage our activities to avoid inconvenience to the building’s occupants or visitors.
At HCL we pride ourselves on the long term relationships we have with clients and offer a range of aftercare services. At handover of a newly installed system we can provide all the required PPE and implement awareness training for users of the system. In the months and years following installation we are available to offer advice on safety at height developments, run user training courses and conduct the legally required annual re-certification tests.
You can call on HCL to help prepare your workplace Safety Policy. As the UK's leading safety at height specialists, we offer expert consultancy services to assist in risk assessments and the development of your workplace safety procedures.
The key to the effectiveness of any safety at height system is the ability of people to use it correctly. HCL can provide a comprehensive range of user manuals and training programmes for every type of fall protection system.

There is a legal requirement for fall protection systems to be periodically tested. HCL provides a nation-wide service, delivered by directly employed technicians, to re-test and certify all aspects of safety at height systems and equipment.
