Roof Hatch Guardrail
Roof Hatch Guardrail systems are designed to provide fall protection for your roof hatch and make sure it is in compliance with OSHA fall protection laws. Any opening in your roof that someone could fall through is required by law to have fall protection. This applies to both an open or closed hatch in many cases. It is recommended by OSHA to move forward with the assumption that non-structural covers (such as hatch covers) cannot support a worker and still require fall protection.
What is Roof Hatch Guardrail?
The simplicity of Roof Hatch Guardrail allows for this system to be integrated with virtually all roof openings. Designed to fit on a single pallet, most parts are pre-assembled with easy-to-follow instructions and a single tool for installation. This freestanding, modular system is constructed with corrosion-resistant lightweight aluminum tubing and utilizes counter-weighted baseplates. It requires no rooftop penetration, which will help to make sure that your roof will remain intact, so you will not have to worry about any unexpected leaks occurring from using this system.
Each system is equipped with a spring loaded, self closing gate, ensuring the HatchGuard is in a safe operating position at all times.
HatchGuard has been designed to meet or exceed all federal and state OSHA safety standards/regulations for hatches, and ANSI engineering standards
