Roof Safety Systems
Flagging or Warning Systems
Rooftop warning lines with flags help keep workers away from dangerous edges by providing a clear visual reminder. Unlike roof safety rail systems, these lines don’t physically stop someone from going over, instead, they serve as safety zone markers.
Rooftop Walkway Systems
These systems include stairs, ramps, and designated walking paths that provide safe access and navigation across the roof. Not only do they keep workers safe from falls, but they also prevent damage to the delicate roof surface by directing foot traffic to designated areas.
Rooftop Horizontal Lifelines
This roof safety harness system connects to a cable that is mechanically fastened to sections of the roof. This allows them to move freely across the roof while staying anchored to a secure line and a safe distance from the edge.
Tie-Off Anchors
Roof safety tie-off systems provide workers with harnesses that connect to a single anchor point (permanently attached to the roof) with a tether. This keeps them safe, especially when working close to the edge, but it’s only for one worker at a time.
Roof Hatch Systems
These safety railing systems for roof hatches are designed to prevent workers from falling through openings. Available in a variety of styles, all roof hatch systems provide a secure barrier around the hatch, keeping workers safe.
Skylight Cages or Screens
Since they aren’t designed to hold heavy loads, skylights can be hazardous. These cages and screens are installed over rooftop skylights to protect them from heavy loads as well as act as a visual reminder for anyone on the roof.
Roof Guardrails
These permanent installations can be categorized into two main types: penetrating and non-penetrating weighted systems. Penetrating guardrails are mechanically fastened directly to the roof structure, offering a durable and reliable solution. Non-penetrating weighted systems utilize weighted bases to secure the guardrails in place, eliminating the need for roof membrane penetration.
Snow Rail Systems
Also known as snow rails, these systems address snow avalanches. They are designed to mitigate the risk of uncontrolled snow and ice masses sliding off a sloped roof. This can cause property damage and serious injuries to people or equipment on the ground below. When snow and ice build up on the roof of your facility, it can cause water to back up and eventually leak into the building. With our snow and ice removal services, our team ensures build-ups like this don’t cause damage to the facility.
