b'Access Points:Spotting Hazards on the Roof 1Each employee is protected from falling into a ladder way, floor hole, or ladder way platform hole by a guardrail system and toe boards erected on all exposed sides, except at the entrance to the hole, where a self-closing gate or an offset must be used**Chains are no longer permitted for use as a fall protection system on rooftop access points.1 Unprotected Roof Hatch themost Unprotectedroofhatchesareoneof common and dangerous fall hazards on commercial roofs. The primary risk is the possibility of falling through the roof opening while the lid is open, which can lead to serious injuries or even fatalities. These hatchesareoftenusedforroofaccessduringmaintenanceor inspections, making the need for a reliable safety solution critical.The Kee Hatch is specifically designed to address this safety issue by providing a secure solution for safe egress and ingress through the roof hatch while it is open. It ensures that workers can safely access and exit the roof without the risk of falling. Additionally, Kee Hatch can be easily integrated into existing roof structures, offering a straightforward and effective way to enhance safety. This system not only protects workers but also ensures compliance with safety regulations, making it an essential component for any commercial roof setup.2 Unprotected Fixed Ladders fall Unprotected fixed ladders are a common feature on the sides of buildings, serving as essential access points either from roof to ground or between different rooflevels.However,theypresentsignificant hazards, particularly the risk of falling on either side of the ladder or through the ladder opening itself. These hazards can lead to serious injuries or fatalities if not properly addressed.TheKeeGuardLadderAccessKitsarespecificallydesignedto mitigate these risks by providing a permanent guardrail on either side of the fixed ladder. This system enhances safety by ensuring that the sides of the ladder are securely protected, preventing accidental falls. Additionally, the inclusion of a self-closing safety gate adds an extra layer of protection, ensuring that the ladder opening is always securely closed when not in use. This combination of guardrails and self-closing gates offers comprehensive safety for workers, allowing safe and secure access to various building levels while minimizing the risk of falls and related injuries.2OSHA Code: 1910.28(b)(3)(iv)11'
