Hayleys Fentons Limited has successfully completed the installation of an advanced roof lifeline system at South Asia Textiles Limited, Pugoda. 

This milestone marks the introduction of a European-engineered roof lifeline system in Sri Lanka, sourced from a top-tier European brand.

Recognising the critical need for fall protection, Hayleys Fentons launched an innovative safety solution designed to safeguard workers and contractors working at elevated heights.

Completed within just 20 days, the 380-metreinstallation across six roofs introduced cutting-edge European technology to Sri Lanka. The system, manufactured in Turkey, is certified under EN795:2012 (a European standard that specifies technical requirements and test methods for anchor devices used in personal fall protection systems) by Quintin Certifications (France). 

Constructed from high-strength steel with corrosion-resistant coatings, the lifeline system ensures long-term durability and superior performance, aligning with the highest European safety standards.

Commenting on the project, Hasith Prematillake, Managing Director of Hayleys Fentons Limited said, “Safety remains at the core of everything we do. This project underscores our ability to deliver globally certified lifeline systems that provide maximum protection for workers operating at height. By introducing advanced European-engineered technology to Sri Lanka, we are setting new benchmarks in workplace safety and reaffirming our commitment to innovative, precision-driven MEP solutions.”

R.D. Sarath Chandrasiri, Manager of Occupational Health and Safetyat South Asia Textiles Limited shared, “This partnership has helped us elevate our worker safety standards, which is a top priority. Despite challenges like weather and roof complexities, Hayleys Fentons handled everything with professionalism, delivering a high-quality solution that enhanced our safety infrastructure.”
