No matter what kind of project you’re working on, workplace safety is always paramount. Fortunately, there are many ways to prevent accidents and injuries on the jobsite. Workers must always be provided with safety equipment on the jobsite, and have all the required information, training, and supervision to undertake their jobs safely. It’s also necessary for employers to perform inspections, investigations, report any accidents, and remove any hazards that could compromise the safety of their workers.

While workers will always be presented with challenges on the job, there are a variety of safety products that can be added to your infrastructure to make accessing and egressing a safer experience. The addition of safe and permanent access solutions to your worksite will help ensure your workers’ health and safety are always your number one priority, and it will decrease any liability concerns by reducing the number of risks and hazards on the job.

No matter what access solutions you choose for your project, it’s important to make sure that all your access solutions meet CSA standards to keep workers safe on the jobsite. Safety products made from stainless steel and aluminium, like safety railings and ladders, should also be welded by a company that’s certified by the Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB), and has been awarded the CWB’s Weld QualityMark to prove the company’s commitment to quality products. Below are five common access solutions you can add to new and existing infrastructure to ensure your project is safe for workers accessing and egressing the worksite.

• Ladder Systems can be permanently installed and made with safety cages for extra protection. Safety cages should be installed around ladders longer than five metres in areas of increased risk.
• Climbing Rungs make accessing underground structures safer due to their resistance to temperature changes, impact, and vibration.
• Access Hatches can be designed to withstand a variety of light and heavy loadings, from pedestrian weights to traffic loads.
• Safety Railings and guard railings provide extra safety and protection in potentially dangerous areas like stairways, platforms, and rooftops.
• Safety Platforms provide a flat, even surface to support workers and their equipment and are required for structures deeper than five metres.
