This was the case for a recent SafeRack rooftop stair installation. The equipment located on the roof of this facility was surrounded by a large wall. While workers could reach the equipment by ladder, this was both inefficient and dangerous. The SafeRack team installed prefabricated aluminum rooftop crossover stairs. The OHSA-compliant crossover stairs are slip-resistant and feature safety railings, making them an ideal solution for locations like rooftops that are exposed to the elements.

Maintenance workers often encounter a broad range of obstacles when navigating rooftops to access equipment. For instance, pipes, ducts, and utility lines. But some configurations pose even greater challenges and safety risks.
