When climbing on and off a roof, there is a high possibility you’ll slip or fall. Providing safe egress and ingress for workers is critical, and we can help.
Access points are the most frequented hazard on any roof. Your workers are exposed to this risk twice every time they enter and exit a roof to perform tasks. OSHA and EU regulations require ladders and roof hatches to be equipped with self-closing safety gates and safety compliant guardrails to reduce the risk of someone falling as they step onto or off a roof. We’ll work closely with you to complete a fall protection site survey so you can ensure everyone is as safe as possible.

A truly comprehensive rooftop solution follows the Hierarchy of Fall Protection. An expert starts by inspecting the roof site for potential fall hazards. From there, a complete system solution and recommendations are created that descend down the four levels of the hierarchy, from simple, sensible approaches for eliminating risks all the way down to lifesaving personal protection systems.
