Take a look back at our work with Nitto Denko Avecia on a rooftop fall protection project at its manufacturing facility in Milford, MA.

To help create a safer, OSHA-compliant rooftop environment, we provided 874 linear feet of NextGen 3000™ Universal Guardrail. Our team worked alongside Nitto’s team and its roofing contractor to develop the right solution for the facility and complete the installation in less than a week.

See how we helped bring this project from assessment to completion.

Working at heights carries constant risk, and plenty of rooftops are still relying on outdated or incomplete fall protection. Staying compliant with OSHA requirements is important for worker safety, but meeting those guidelines takes more than simply having equipment in place.

Our latest article breaks down OSHA's requirements for working at heights, common fall protection gaps, and the systems that can help protect workers in elevated areas. From personal fall arrest systems and fixed ladder lifelines to custom-engineered solutions, we cover the options available for different applications.

If your team works on rooftops, platforms, ladders, or other elevated structures, read the full article to better understand the requirements and solutions that can help keep them protected.

An open roof hatch might be the easiest fall hazard to miss on your building. It seem like a small access point, but without the right protection, it can expose workers to serious falls each time they enter or exit the roof.

Our latest article breaks down the OSHA codes that apply to unprotected roof hatches, common ways facilities fall out of compliance, and the safety solutions that can help close these gaps. If your hatch still relies on a chain or a propped-open lid, this one's worth a read.

Read the full article to learn what OSHA requires and how to improve roof access safety.

Safe ladder access is a critical part of fall protection. Ladder Safety Docks help provide a secure transition point between the ladder and rooftop, giving workers added stability as they step on and off the roof.

Designed for durability and OSHA compliance, our Ladder Safety Docks are a practical solution for improving rooftop access safety across commercial and industrial facilities.

A harness and lanyard are a lot like a team: they only work well when they match the job.

If one part does not fit the task, anchor point or fall clearance, the whole setup can fall short.

Before work starts, take a minute to check the pairing. The right match can help crews move with more confidence, avoid last-minute guesswork and stay focused on the job.

How to match fall protection harness and lanyard to the worker, task, anchor point, fall distance, and rooftop work area.

Many OSHA violations come from basic fall protection setup oversights than complex engineering errors. In fact, data reveals that nearly half of all construction fall incidents happen simply because no physical barriers are in place at the time of work.

In our latest article, we break down exactly how OSHA defines an unprotected site. We also discuss how modern, fast-deploying perimeter systems keep projects moving safely without the delays of traditional wood guardrails.

Read the full article to learn how the right fall protection system can help keep your job site compliant and your crews protected.

Learn key Cal/OSHA Section 1620 guardrail rules, common jobsite violations, and how passive safety systems keep crews safe at height.

Some rooftops require workers to move freely while staying protected. The NextGen SecuRail Horizontal Lifeline provides continuous fall protection, allowing users to safely navigate large work areas without repeatedly disconnecting and reconnecting.

Engineered for demanding environments, it's a flexible solution for facilities that prioritize worker safety and compliance.

Real-world results speak for themselves. At Lewisville ISD, the NextGen Lift & Lock™ Roof Hatch Opener helped improve rooftop access by allowing maintenance teams to safely open and secure roof hatches from the base of the ladder.

By reducing unnecessary climbing and helping workers maintain three points of contact, this solution supports a safer and more efficient approach to routine facility maintenance.

School rooftops support more daily activity than many people realize.

HVAC maintenance, storm inspections, antenna service and equipment repairs can all place workers near roof edges, skylights and access points.

While rooftop guardrails help create safer boundaries, do they fully address every hazard workers may face on the roof?

Find out in our latest article.

Learn when rooftop guardrail systems are enough for school facilities and when hatches, skylights and access routes need added protection.

Skylights can pose a serious fall hazard when left unprotected. The NextGen 3000 Universal Skylight Railing provides a durable, OSHA-compliant barrier designed to help protect workers during rooftop inspections, maintenance, and repairs.

Its universal design fits a wide range of skylight sizes and installs without penetrating the roof, making it a reliable solution for improving rooftop safety.
