Ladder Guards Are One Kind of Equipment Used at Construction Sites

Construction sites need to make sure they incorporate specific kinds of safety equipment during building processes. For instance, ladder guards should be used at the base and top of the ladders to prevent accidents. Guards placed around the base of the ladder help to prevent people from walking around and under the ladder when a worker is on the ladder. Base guards also aid in lowering the risks of accidently knocking the ladder over. Safety guards placed at the top of the ladder helps to lower the risks of workers falling from elevated work areas.

Portable and Permanently Installed Ladder Guards Are Available for Your Building

 

There are different styles of OSHA approved ladder guards available to meet the needs of your business. You are able to find guards that can be installed permanently in a fixed location. These styles are often installed after building construction has been completed, such as over hatch openings. Other styles provide portability in order to be used in multiple locations throughout your facility. Portable models are ideal anytime maintenance, repairs or construction is being performed in specific areas in and around your building.
