Safe Rooftop HVAC Access with Guardrails and Lifelines

Project Overview

A manufacturer of high-quality, custom electrical power equipment has built its reputation on precision engineering and reliable products that serve customers across multiple industries. With a large facility that requires ongoing upkeep, the company places a strong emphasis on workplace safety. One of the most critical areas of concern is the rooftop, where employees regularly perform maintenance on HVAC units and other building systems. Recognizing that routine access to elevated areas brings significant fall hazards, the manufacturer sought a proactive approach to strengthen its safety program and protect its workforce.

The Challenge

The manufacturer wanted to strengthen its safety program while staying within budget. The primary concern was preventing potential fall incidents when employees accessed the roof for routine HVAC maintenance. With employees frequently exposed to height-related hazards, the company needed a reliable, OSHA-compliant fall protection system that could be implemented quickly without disrupting operations.

The Solution

Lighthouse Safety partnered with the manufacturer to assess the risks and deliver a tailored solution. Kee Guard rooftop guardrails and a Vertical Lifeline system were installed to ensure safe access and fall protection for employees working at height. The solution provided the manufacturer with a comprehensive safety upgrade that addressed both rooftop access and ongoing maintenance activities.
