A roof walkway might seem like the simplest height safety system,however a lot goes into creating a safe (and compliant) path of travel across your roof. For example, did you know that a level walkway needs to be on a 0 – 3 degree incline? And did you know that fibreglass walkways deteriorate over time due to sun damage,creating hidden cracks and silent slip and trip hazards?
Your roof type,pitch and the weather conditions of your location also need to be considered when selecting a roof walkway for your building.If you don’t,you run the risk of your roof walkway system being non-compliant,unsafe for use,or needing to be replaced long before you get any return on investment.
Roof walkway systems are an essential safety feature for any building with a rooftop access point.They not only provide a safe pathway for workers to move around on the roof, but also protect the roof surface from damage caused by foot traffic.
Importance of Installing and Maintaining Roof Walkway Systems
It is important to install and maintain roof walkway systems to ensure the safety of workers and protect the roof surface from damage.
Regular maintenance of roof walkway systems is also important to ensure their continued safety and effectiveness.The walkway should be inspected regularly to ensure that it is still in good condition and free from defects.Any defects should be repaired immediately to prevent accidents and further damage to the walkway.
