The growing necessity of OSHA compliant crossover stairways

The factories and warehouses boast of constant work and movement of people and goods. The OSHA compliant crossover stairways are installed to provide safe passage and lower the risks of accidents. These type of stairways are cost effective method from bridging gaps on the roof to providing smooth mobility and access to different areas in manufacturing plants for workers. The crossover stairways and modular platforms are secured together with bolt patterns which can be placed in site location of any configuration. The best part is that the parts are already fitted and there is no need of welding and fabrication. The stairways system can be installed permanently and also be used for temporary purposes. The modular platforms are placed to help in inspecting different units of manufacturing and also serve as observation decks.

The OSHA compliant crossover stairways are available in variety of ranges most commonly they are used as a bridge to connect one rooftop with another, stairways with multiple configurations are used in food processing plants, an elongated stairway is placed over pipes which helps in inspecting and adjusting the instruments attached.

The crossover stairways and modular platforms are primarily designed to protect pipes, duct work and electrical cables from being entangled, they are also placed on the roof but are non-penetrating and don’t damage the roofs. The railings on the stairways is solidly built and allows strong support to the platform. The systems can be fixed securely in one place but could also be moved to another location due to its rolling castors.

The crossover stairways are made mainly of aluminum and powder coated steel which Is strong and durable, the system can be customized with additional options and delivered to you. 

OSHA COMPLIANT CROSSOVER STAIRWAYS

Working on and around stairways can be hazardous and can be a major source of severe work place injuries. OSHA therefore gives a complete guideline that is to be followed when incorporating any kind of stairways at your workplace. OSHA compliant crossover stairways are made while keeping all the safety measures in mind. Crossover stairs are used to overcome any kind of obstruction created by exterior pipelines, conveyer belts, machinery or ducts of any sort. OSHA compliant crossover stairs ensures your safety from risky transition over and around processing equipment.

Crossover stairways are placed when you have limited access or when you need to overcome obstacles like dangerous electrical cables, pipelines, ductwork within limited space. Crossover stairways can also be used to bridge from one roof top to another without any roof penetration or any damage to roofing material. OSHA compliant crossover stairways give you the benefit to avoid any kind of inconvenience you may face while working in an overcrowded space.

It consists of cross over stairs and modular platforms that can be added to your choice to provide any height, length or space needed as observation decks over plantation fields or food processing plants. Crossover stairs and modular platforms are bolted together and need not to be welded. Therefore, can be rearranged and reused to form any structural configuration. Systems can be permanent or portable with rolling castors. Crossover stairways and platforms are customizable with a wide range of options constructed from aluminium or powder coated steel.

Another factor that favours OSHA compliant crossover stairs is their easy assembly and cost effectiveness, engineering costs are virtually eliminated. crossover stairways units take up very little floor space while still enabling workers to travel over conveyors, mechanical equipment, and pipe runs. Stair rungs have treads for sure footing to prevent falls and injury and include handrails. These are perfect for rooftop access and parapets.
