As job site demands continue to evolve, so does our commitment to supporting our customers. Our repair and maintenance team is proud to announce an expansion of services—now offering commercial roof safety systems designed to help protect workers and support OSHA compliance across a wide range of projects.

This addition reflects a growing need in the field. Rooftop environments present unique safety challenges, and having the right systems in place is essential to keeping crews safe and operations running smoothly.

A Natural Extension of Our Services

For years, our repair and maintenance team has supported customers in keeping their buildings operational and efficient. Expanding into roof safety systems is a natural next step. This allows us to provide even greater value while helping customers address both performance and protection.

Whether it’s guardrail systems, fall protection equipment, or compliant access solutions, we’re now equipped to deliver safety-focused support alongside our core services.

Addressing Real Rooftop Risks

Commercial roofs often include a variety of hazards that can put workers at risk if not properly managed. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), a hole is defined as “a gap or void two or more inches in its least dimension in a walking/working surface.”

Common rooftop hazards include:

• Skylights and roof openings
• Ladder access points
• Leading edges
• Unprotected penetrations

Without proper safeguards, these conditions can lead to serious fall or trip incidents.

Supporting OSHA Compliance

Our expanded offering is built around helping customers meet established OSHA safety standards, including:

• Protection for workers exposed to falls from heights of 6 feet or more
• Proper covering and guarding of rooftop openings
• Safe and compliant ladder access solutions
• Fall protection systems for leading edges and perimeter work

These are not just best practices—they are requirements that play a critical role in job site safety.

A Practical Approach to Safety

Traditional methods are no longer enough. For example, ladder openings that rely on chains or other outdated barriers do not meet current OSHA expectations. Today’s standards require more secure, intentional solutions that prevent direct access to fall hazards.

Our team understands these evolving requirements and can help identify the right systems for each unique application.

Moving Forward, Safely

Safety is a critical part of every project, and having the right partner makes a difference. With the addition of commercial roof safety systems, we’re continuing to evolve alongside our customers’ needs.
