F.A.Q.
Do I need a Roofwalk?
Basically, a roofwalk system is a pathway that allows for safe traversing of any sloped or flat roof. It can be designed of various materials including, steel, aluminum and rubber.
rooftop units require periodic maintenance year round. In order to safely access these units under any weather conditions a walkway should be used. Roofwalk systems create a safe access eliminating the chances of workers slipping or falling and removes liability from the building owner.
ATBEST Roofwalks come with the option of guardrail however code in your area can stipulate mandatory guardrail in certain areas, usually within 6′ of the edge of a building.
The Universal System is designed for providing fall protection for workers near the roof edge. These activities are to be performed on flat, level roofs only with a maximum pitch of 1/2 in. per foot (.5/12). Any other use of the Universal System not mentioned here voids the manufacturer’s warranty and is the sole responsibility of the owner/worker should any damage or injuries occur.
Universal Free standing Guardrail systems can be used around roof openings and at the roof perimeter. Identifying the most common rooftop safety hazards and providing safety training to workers is imperative to ensure a safe workplace.
