Safety in rooftop work continues to gain prominence in the industrial and photovoltaic sectors. Proof of this is the publication of the article “CAREX, the new benchmark in rooftop risk prevention” in the specialized magazine Seguridad Laboral , one of the leading publications on occupational risk prevention in Spain.
This publication highlights the growing need to incorporate permanent solutions that allow for safe inspections, maintenance, and repairs, especially on industrial roofs and solar plants where pedestrian traffic is increasingly frequent.
In summary
If you’re looking for information on systems to improve safety on industrial roofs or photovoltaic installations, CAREX is a technical walkway system designed to create safe routes, protect the roof and solar panels, reduce risks during maintenance, and complement other protection systems such as lifelines or guardrails. Its recent publication in the journal Seguridad Laboral (Occupational Safety) reinforces the industry’s recognition of this solution as a benchmark in occupational risk prevention on roofs.
A recognition of innovation in security
The report highlights CAREX as a solution specifically designed to improve safety during work at height through the implementation of permanent technical walkways.
The objective of this type of system is to define safe routes on the roof, avoiding transit through fragile areas or directly over the photovoltaic modules, thus reducing both the risk of accidents and damage to the installation itself.
This award recognizes the work we’ve been doing since the design of CAREX to offer a solution that combines safety, ease of installation, and adaptability to different types of roofs. Discover here: What is a technical walkway?
The importance of planning safe routes
Industrial rooftops have ceased to be spaces with occasional access and have become areas where periodic maintenance operations are carried out on photovoltaic installations , air conditioning, industrial equipment or evacuation systems.
Having a permanent technical walkway allows:
- Guide traffic along safe routes.
- Reduce the risk of falls to the same or different level.
- Prevent damage to the roof and solar panels.
- Facilitate preventive and corrective maintenance.
- Complement other collective and individual protection systems.
Safety depends not only on personal protective equipment, but also on proper access planning and the implementation of permanent solutions that reduce risk exposure. How to work on fragile roofs?
CAREX, a solution for industrial roofs and photovoltaic plants
Since its launch, CAREX has been developed to meet the real needs of installers, maintenance companies, engineering firms, EPC companies, and owners of industrial buildings.
Its modular design allows it to adapt to different types of roofs, offering a non-slip surface, high corrosion resistance and an installation system that preserves the watertightness of the roof.
All of this makes the system an effective tool for improving safety throughout the installation’s lifespan. Discover our real-world success stories.
Thanks to Seguridad Laboral
We would like to thank the magazine Seguridad Laboral for publishing this report and for their interest in disseminating solutions that help reduce the risks associated with working at heights.
