LadderGuard

Meets OSHA Requirement 1910.29(b) and 1926.502(b)

LadderGuard™ is designed to prevent falls at one of the most hazardous roof access points, where workers step off or onto fixed ladders. Meeting OSHA Requirements, it creates a safe transition zone with guardrails, ladder connectors, and a self-closing gate that guides users 6 feet away from the roof edge.

This non-penetrating system uses weighted bases to avoid roof damage while securely anchoring the safety rails. Ladder connectors adjust to close the gap between the ladder and guardrails and can fit both round and square ladder handrails. LadderGuard™ can also serve as the starting point for a complete fall protection plan with additional guardrails or warning lines.
