Rooftop safety is a top priority for homeowners. Whether you’re looking to repair damage to your roof or just want to be able to access your roof for cleaning and maintenance, staying safe on your roof is important. Adding a hatch access door to your roof can help with that, but there are other ways to further improve your rooftop safety.
Bumping Up the Safety Factor
Some of the most common injuries sustained by homeowners or repair personnel accessing the roof area are those related to falls. This doesn’t just happen when people fall directly from a ladder or roof. Sometimes, these falls happen when a person incorrectly steps onto or off a ladder, or into or out of roof access hatch doors. In these cases, adding a roof hatch safety railing system like those available through Amazing Door & Hardware can be a major benefit.
Why Add Extra Railing?
Isn’t a roof access door already safe? While it’s true that in comparison to accessing your home or commercial property’s roof by external ladder a roof access hatch is much safer, there is always room for improvement when it comes to safety. A roof hatch safety railing system adds that additional safety.
Consider this: how many times have you fallen from the stairs or even slipped and fell inside your own home? How about tripping in your own lawn or on the property of a trusted friend or relative? These accidents and injuries don’t mean the property isn’t safe, only that an added element of safety might have come in handy. When you install a safety railing system, you won’t be left wondering if extra safety features might have been helpful. You’ll know that you’re up against the best possible odds – and as safe as you can be when accessing your roof!
