In the demanding environment of Food & Beverage facilities, ensuring the safety of operators is a top priority. ErectaStep, a division of SafeRack, is leading the way in providing innovative solutions that prioritize safety and efficiency. One such solution is the ErectaStep Stair Tower, which has transformed how maintenance personnel at a Food & Beverage client access the roof of their facility.
The Challenge
Before the installation of the SafeRack ErectaStep Stair Tower, operators had to climb a precarious 50-foot ladder to access the roof. This method was not only inefficient but also posed significant safety risks.
The Solution: ErectaStep Stair Tower
The ErectaStep Stair Tower is a game-changer. It provides a secure, compliant, and user-friendly alternative to traditional ladders, allowing operators to access elevated areas safely and efficiently.
Compliance with New Regulations
As of November 19, 2036, ladder cages are no longer accepted as fall protection on fixed ladders by OSHA. Instead, all fixed ladders taller than 24 feet must use a ladder safety system or a personal fall arrest system.
ErectaStep’s Stair Tower is designed with these new regulations in mind. It eliminates the need for ladder cages and ensures that facilities are in full compliance with the latest safety standards.
Key Features of ErectaStep Stair Tower
- OSHA Compliance: The Stair Tower meets or exceeds all OSHA standards, ensuring that facilities are aligned with the latest safety regulations.
- Ease of Access: The Stair Tower provides a comfortable and secure means of accessing elevated areas, eliminating the need for operators to climb long, steep ladders.
- Modular Design: Like all ErectaStep products, the Stair Tower features a modular design that can be easily configured to fit any facility’s unique needs.
- Durable Construction: Made with industrial-grade materials and designed to withstand the harshest environments, the Stair Tower is built to last.
Conclusion
In an industry where safety and efficiency are paramount, the ErectaStep Stair Tower stands as a testament to what is possible when innovation meets practicality. This installation at the Food & Beverage facility not only ensures that operators can access the roof safely and efficiently but also guarantees that the facility remains in compliance with the latest OSHA regulations.
