ABS - escape and rescue route for flat roofs

✔ 1 m wide, standard-compliant escape routes for flat roofs using a flexible modular system
✔ Equipped with guardrails on both sides – clearly marked routes for maximum workplace safety
✔ No roof penetration required: secure installation without damaging the roof membrane
✔ Ballast instead of screws – ideal for quick installation and dismantling
✔ Protects the substrate with the included rubber patches

Flexible use on flat roofs

With the ABS escape and rescue route, you can quickly and systematically create a designated escape route on flat roofs – perfect for construction site logistics, maintenance areas and permanently planned escape routes. The system is 1 m wide and has guardrails on both sides, so you can create safe walkways that provide clear orientation and significantly reduce fall risks. Thanks to the ballast, the roof waterproofing remains intact, which is especially important for sensitive roof structures and renovation projects.

Thanks to the modular system, you can combine straight sections, transitions and 90° corners to suit your roof layout. In practice, this means: you can plan your escape route in modules, adapt it to roof structures and extend it at any time. This makes the rescue route an ideal addition to personal protective equipment as part of a team safety plan and a real asset for workplace safety – whether for commercial buildings, PV installations or classic roofing supplies and sheet metal worker supplies.

Who is this system designed for?

Do you work in the trades and need clear, safe routes on the roof? Then this system is just right – also as a complement to lightweight edge protection solutions such as ABS Guard OnTop Sandwich guardrails that are riveted onto sandwich roofs: edge protection with low weight there, and designated escape routes with ballast for flat roofs here.
