The right technology and equipment can make work safer and reduce accidents. Every year, accidents and
incidents related to snow shovelling. Statistics from the Swedish Work Environment Authority indicate falls from roofs and from ladders,
falls through roofs, fractures of the back and foot after falls from roofs...
Training and practice provide safety and, not least increased self-confidence. Practising situations that may occur on the roof, learning safe and effective ways of working, and knowing how to use the equipment is the basis of a safe way of working. The methods we teach are based on trying to use fall protection equipment as an aid and not just as protection. This is both a more efficient and safer way to work, the work goes faster and the wear and tear on your body is reduced. Being safe gives you peace of mind.

What are the most common errors?
The most common is carelessness and not recognising the situation.
seriously. You think "I'll just..." and don't bother using safety equipment. Or, thinking "I can do that - I am well trained and
strong" or think that they have long experience and do not need any safety equipment. In many cases, they are also unaware of modern lightweight equipment which, unlike the heavy and cumbersome ropes and hooks of the past, makes work easier, more efficient and safer.
Another common cause of incidents and accidents is not knowing or being unsure how to use the fall protection equipment you have. Perhaps
you connect the support rope at the fall protection point, putting an incorrect load on your body and making it easier to slip. Even if you do not fall, there are dangers in the "small" fall, such as injury or loss of equipment.
Education and training reduce risks and increase your own security. The right equipment is not enough to make working on roofs safe. It is equally important to know how to use the safety equipment to avoid accidents when clearing snow on roofs.
