Rooftop fall protection is often approached as a product decision.

In practice, the outcome is driven by how the risk is understood upfront.

Common gaps we see:
• Systems selected without aligning to the actual task 👷‍♂️
• Over-reliance on PPE instead of passive protection 🦺
• Designing to minimum requirements rather than real use conditions

This series outlines the fundamentals that should guide those decisions.

It’s the last day of National Ladder Safety Month—but this is when missed rooftop risks tend to surface.

Safe access is something we deal with every day, not just in March. Taking a few extra seconds to do things right can prevent serious injuries:

✔️ Inspect your ladder before use
✔️ Maintain 3 points of contact
✔️ Use the right equipment for the job
✔️ Stay focused while climbing

Ladder safety isn’t a campaign—it’s part of the job.

Not every ladder incident happens during the climb.
Sometimes the risk starts before the first step.

Unrestricted ladder access can expose rooftops, platforms, and elevated work areas to unauthorized entry — increasing liability and safety concerns.

LadderGuard helps control that risk.

Built from 16-gauge galvanized steel and standing 6 feet tall, LadderGuard creates a secure barrier at the base of fixed ladders — helping facilities stay compliant with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.23 and 1910.28.

Simple. Secure. Compliant.

Because the safest climb is the one only authorized workers can make.

Fixed ladders are everywhere — tanks, rooftops, mezzanines, platforms. They’re efficient, compact, and necessary. But they also expose workers to extended vertical fall risk with every climb.

Ladder Fall Protection Systems with cable stops provide continuous protection from the first step to the last.

The cable sleeve travels with the worker during ascent and descent — and locks immediately in the event of a fall. No climbing in and out of cages. No relying on perfect footing. Just consistent, engineered fall protection the entire way up.

Climb with confidence. Protection that’s always connected.
