Not every facility needs a permanent guardrail system.

Facility teams often perform seasonal maintenance, complete temporary projects and service equipment in different areas of the roof throughout the year. In these situations, mobile fall protection can help protect workers while meeting OSHA requirements without requiring permanent roof modifications.

Choosing the right solution starts with understanding how workers access the roof, where fall hazards exist and how frequently teams perform rooftop work.

In our latest blog, we explain when mobile fall protection makes sense, how these systems meet OSHA requirements and what facility managers should consider before deployment.

An extension ladder may seem like a straightforward way to reach a rooftop. But when it isn’t properly secured or positioned, that routine climb can become a serious fall hazard.

The problem is easy to overlook, especially when crews use the same ladder setup day after day. A ladder that shifts, slips or doesn’t provide a secure transition onto the roof can put workers at risk at one of the most vulnerable points of the climb.

Our article examines OSHA’s requirements for extension ladders, from proper extension height and securing to base stability and slip resistance. It also covers common violations and the ladder safety products designed to address these issues without replacing existing equipment.

Read the full article to see what OSHA requires and whether your ladder setup meets the standard.
