Avoid Accidents with Philadelphia’s Most Reliable Rooftop Fall Protection Systems

A large number of deaths in the workplace continue to result from falls from height. These can be prevented with adequate roof fall protection systems and it is the responsibility of Philadelphia’s employers to ensure they take all available steps to try to guarantee the safety of their workers as much as possible.

All roofs are different in terms of their construction and features, and the way in which they’re accessed. Consequently, there are a number of types of roof protection systems to safeguard them adequately.

Providing the Right Type of Roof Fall Protection

Workers in Philadelphia may need to access a roof for various reasons, typically for maintenance and servicing purposes. When they do this, several different hazards are presented, such as:

the edge of the roof itself, where OSHA states that anyone working within fifteen of it requires some form of protection
skylights that workers can fall through unless some type of protection is provided
adjoining roofs that are connected, at different levels, and have a difference of at least six feet between them so that the higher edge requires protection.

Different types of protection or roof tie off systems can be provided, such as:

guardrails that create a barrier between the hazard and the workers so that falls do not occur
restraints, such as anchor points and lifelines that prevent the workers getting too near hazards and so prevent a fall
fall arrest systems that may be necessary when workers have to be right on top of a hazard and do not prevent a fall but stop it after it has occurred before any harm is done.

Why Effective Industrial Fall Protection is Essential

Most workplace deaths and serious injuries result from falls, which cause over 800 deaths each year in America. These are tragic for the people directly and indirectly involved but are also serious for the employer. Fall protection failings are the most serious violations of safety regulations and can result in fines amounting to many thousands of dollars as well as compensation claims running into many millions.

Fall from height accidents can also cause serious reputational damage to companies as well as a hit to profitability so they cannot be ignored. Installing rooftop fall protection systems and ensuring they are used correctly at all times will go a long way to ensuring compliance with regulations and avoiding future problems.

Installing Rooftop Fall Protection that Really Works

Working on or from a roof is essential to keep a building well-maintained and clean. But it is a dangerous occupation made worse by sloping roofs, obstructions, unprotected edges and bad weather. It is crucial therefore that effective roof fall protection systems are put in place to ensure the safety of workers.

All fall protection installation companies will promise to make your rooftops safer, but some will do it better than others. At Shine On Anchors, we have the knowledge and experience to install effective roof fall protection that will not only ensure you comply with all regulations but will also mean your workers are kept safe with minimal restrictions to their way of working.

Every building is unique so, before each fall protection installation, we carry out a thorough assessment in order to:

identify access to the roof area and determine if it is secure and compliant with OSHA standards or if fall protection is required
determine what fall hazards are present on the roof and how these can be overcome, whether by installing guardrails or a roof lifeline system that will prevent falls
recognize obstructions on the roof that can constitute a hazard and any equipment that needs to be accessed; if these are near the edge of the roof, a guardrail or roof tie off systems may be necessary
decide where there need to be designated walkways that must be clearly defined to keep workers away from hazards
establish where dangers are caused by unprotected roof edges from which workers can fall, especially in poor weather or slippery conditions.

Your team was here last week installing the anchors in our building. I must say you could not have sent a better group of gentleman. They were courteous and professional from the beginning to end. They went out of their way to work with our tenants and their schedules. When they finished up in a suite it was cleaner than when they started. It could not have gone any smoother. There is no doubt I had the “A Team ” on this project.

Just wanted to send my compliments to the two window washers that were on my terraces on Friday. They were so careful and thorough and deliberate. And two very nice young men as well. Windows are perfect and zero damage to my abundant plant life! If you have an avenue, please pass my compliments along to them and the company.

I just wanted to tell you that Shine On is really starting to scare me. As a property manager I am not use to getting complements about window cleaning, only complaints. So what’s up with all the positive feedback I am getting? Andrew is great. He is friendly and professional and does an amazing job cleaning windows. My residents are loving this. Thanks for making my job easier.
