About Us

We Are Safety Fabrications

At Safety Fabrications, we pride ourselves on turning our customers’ access and safety requirements into practical, high-quality solutions. Our Ascent™ range has been developed with this principle at its core.

Ascent™ products are designed, tested and manufactured to meet stringent industry standards, combining safety-critical design with the quality and durability required for demanding work-at-height and access applications.

Our location in Sheffield, UK, is no coincidence. At the heart of the UK’s engineering and manufacturing heritage, Sheffield gives us access to a wealth of local knowledge, skills and expertise. We draw on this expertise throughout the development and manufacture of our products, helping us deliver reliable access and fall protection solutions engineered for real-world applications.

CE Accreditation

Here at Safety Fabrications, we produce CE marked fabrications and all of our products are manufactured in accordance with BS EN ISO 3834-2-2005 and BS EN 1090-1 2009+A1:2011. Our Factory Production Control (FPC) systems are independently assessed and certified by a body notified to the European Commission by the appropriate national agency (DCLG in the UK).

The Construction Products Regulations 2020, state that – “There is a legal requirement to CE mark, any product or kit which is produced or placed on the market for incorporation in a permanent manner which is covered by a harmonised standard”. We strive to ensure that all our products meet or surpass the requirements of these regulations.

Our Fabrication Shop

Based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, at the heart of the UK’s fall protection and engineering industries, Safety Fabrications operates from an 8,000 sq ft manufacturing and storage facility, equipped with two large overhead cranes.

Located just a few miles from the M1 motorway, our Sheffield facility is ideally positioned to support efficient distribution and delivery to customers throughout the UK.

Supported by a dedicated UK-based supply chain, we are committed to being a trusted supplier to the UK fall protection and access industry. Our product range has been developed specifically to meet the demands of working at height, providing practical, robust and reliable solutions for safe access and maintenance.

From our Sheffield base, we combine manufacturing expertise, product development and industry knowledge to provide solutions designed around the real-world requirements of our customers.
