Industrial Safety Ladders - Rooftop Ladder Protection
Workplace injuries are extremely common, with millions of non-fatal injuries occurring annually. While injuries vary greatly both in severity and cause, some of the most potentially devastating and costly injuries can occur as a result of falls. To say the least, fall protection is crucial to the safety and well-being of workers from manufacturers to window cleaners. One important element of fall protection is rooftop ladder access safety, and LadderGuard safety rail systems are one of the safest and most cost-effective ladder safety devises on the market. Engineered and built to meet real world safety needs, the LadderGuard system offers a rare combination of flexibility, affordability, portability, and compliance.
Flexibility
Flexibility is a hallmark of the LadderGuard system. Two basic versions are available to handle the two primary types of roofs. Systems are available for both flat roofs and roofs with parapet walls. The parapet wall systems require only two brackets attached to the existing ladder’s rails, while the flat wall systems, though requiring four brackets, are available with an optional self-closing gate. While gates are not required for compliance, they are just one more step of protection, one more brick in the wall between productive employees and injured employees. Regardless of the roof type version, LadderGuard offers further flexibility with its ability to fasten equally securely to both flat and round ladder rails.
Affordability, Portability, and Functionality
In business, the bottom line is always the bottom line. That being true, the LadderGuard system was designed with economy in mind. Its unique, minimized design accomplishes more safety with fewer materials, which naturally drives offers some very favorable benefits. The drastic decrease in materials greatly reduces the price to significantly below the $3,000 older systems can cost.
The minimized design simultaneously drives up the system’s portability and ease of use. Whereas older ladder safety systems used something in the neighborhood of 1,000 pounds of steel, the LadderGuard system is comprised of only 70 pounds. That 930 pound reduction means an immediate increase in speed of use and a corresponding reduction of wear on both workers and transportation vehicles. The LadderGuard system also eliminates the need for eight 100-pound rail bases, adding another 800 pounds and untold physical stress to the list of optional features not offered with the LadderGuard. With its new design, the LadderGuard protects the bottom line as well as it protects people.
OSHA Compliant
What would safety equipment be if it did not meet the requirements and regulations of the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA)? Non-compliant equipment, no matter how well designed or how inexpensively made, simply cannot be used. In short, having non-compliant equipment is just as good as having no equipment at all. Naturally, the LadderGuard system is completely compliant with all applicable OSHA codes, making owning a LadderGuard significantly better than having no equipment at all.
