Roofs are not best place for workers in factories and industries as they have to work from high elevated places. An open roof can be hazardous and cause of numerous accidents. Roof hatch railings are important safety measure that prevents workers from falling through unprotected roof opening and edges. Injury from falls are one of the common type of accidents occurring in the factories. A worker can either sustain a minor bruise or broken and dislocated bones in some situations.
Occupational safety and health administration or famously known as OSHA is also quite strict when it comes to worker safety on rooftops. OSHA has set certain rules and certified many safety products which should be used to prevent any injury and inconvenience. OSHA defines that an open roof cover is like a ‘hole in the roof’ and it should be covered. Roof hatch railings are specially designed for roof surfaces. The rail posts and sections are solidly built from galvanized steel and fittings are made of sturdy aluminum.
Roof hatch railings are modular in design and can be either permanently or temporary placed at jobsites. The railings are made in standard designs but can be custom built according to customer’s requirements. The railings are powder coated and known to last long and withstand weather conditions such as heat, rain and dust. The roof hatch railings are easily installed on roof and does not damage the roof surfaces. The roof hatch railings safety system are integrated with self-closing gates which allow worker easy movement and stability.
