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.
