Apex Access Group (Fall Protection)

Apex Access Group provides engineered fall protection and access systems for buildings and industrial sites across the UK. Its fall protection division designs, installs, tests and certifies systems to support safe work at height, with solutions selected for the structure, access requirements and expected use. Services cover consultancy, design, installation, compliance testing and ongoing inspection, from initial survey through to recertification.

Fall Protection Systems
Apex designs and installs fall arrest and fall restraint systems, including mansafe horizontal lifelines, single-point anchors, vertical lifelines, overhead protection, rigid-rail systems and guardrails. System selection depends on the building, work activity, user requirements and the available fixing structure.

Single-Point Anchors
Engineered anchor points provide attachment positions for fall arrest, restraint and rope-access tie-back. Apex assesses the supporting substrate and load path, installs anchors to the relevant manufacturer's requirements and carries out testing where required.

Horizontal Lifelines and Mansafe Systems
Horizontal lifelines provide continuous attachment along a defined route, allowing trained users to traverse roofs or facades while connected. Apex installs systems including Kee Line, MSA and other approved products, with design based on roof geometry, user numbers and the intended work.

Vertical Lifelines and Overhead Fall Protection
Vertical fall-arrest systems can be installed on facades, towers, masts and fixed ladders. Overhead systems provide protection in areas such as production lines, loading bays, vehicle and tanker tops, and maintenance bays where conventional edge protection may not be suitable.

Fixed and Freestanding Guardrails
Fixed guardrails provide permanent collective edge protection at roof edges, walkways and plant platforms. Freestanding, counter-weighted guardrails can provide non-penetrative protection on suitable membrane and asphalt roofs where avoiding roof fixings is important.

Fall Protection Inspection and Testing
Apex provides inspection, testing and recertification for mansafe lifelines, eyebolts, anchors, ladders, vertical lifelines and guardrails. Inspections check components and fixings, document results and identify defects. Certificates and inspection records help building owners and facilities teams track system condition and the next inspection date.

Anchor Testing and Remedial Works
Eyebolts, single-point anchors and rope-access tie-backs can be inspected and proof-load tested where required by the applicable standard or manufacturer. If a component fails, it may need to be taken out of use until suitable remedial work is completed.

Rooftop Access Systems
Apex designs, supplies and installs fixed ladders, roof access ladders, GRP and aluminium walkways, step-over units, access platforms and vertical lifelines. These systems create defined routes for routine roof and plant maintenance and help users avoid fragile surfaces and unprotected edges.

Facade Access Systems
Facade access solutions include abseil rails, davit arms, fixed anchors and suspended cradles. Systems are designed for ongoing maintenance and cleaning at height, with survey, structural assessment, installation, testing and certification suited to the building and its access requirements.

Consultancy, Design and Compliance
Apex's fall protection service includes consultancy and design before installation. Assessing the structure, work patterns and access routes helps determine an appropriate system and coordinate it with the building. The company describes its installations as engineered, installed and certified by manufacturer-approved teams.

Industries and Buildings Served
Apex provides fall protection and access solutions for commercial offices, high-rise buildings, industrial and manufacturing sites, warehouses, logistics facilities, education and healthcare buildings, hotels, food and pharmaceutical facilities, utilities, petrochemical sites, rail and highway infrastructure.

UK-Wide Fall Protection Services
Apex Access Group states that its fall protection teams work across the UK. The company is based in Matlock, Derbyshire, and offers support from initial survey and system design through installation, inspection and recertification. Requirements can be assessed according to the building, proposed work, access conditions and existing safety systems.

Apex Access Group provides a coordinated service for fall protection, rooftop access and facade access, helping clients plan, install and maintain systems for safer work at height.
