Ladder Series (LD) Systems
Freestanding, Counterweighted Fall Protection Systems for Safe Access Over Elevation Changes
The Ladder Series (LD) System is a modular rooftop access solution that allows workers to move safely between levels, featuring guardrails at the upper elevation to help prevent falls. This system is ideal for navigating parapet walls and other elevation changes on rooftops, while supporting fall protection requirements for Canadian workplaces.
Our Ladder Series (LD) Systems and Fixed Access Ladders enhance rooftop accessibility, making it easier for maintenance teams to perform tasks efficiently and safely, ultimately improving facility performance and worker productivity.
Each system is pre-engineered and delivered on a single pallet, with components partially assembled for straightforward installation using a single tool and easy-to-follow instructions. These portable, freestanding systems are made from lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum and include counterweighted baseplates. Because the system does not require roof penetration, it helps maintain the integrity of your rooftop and eliminates the risk of leaks.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is fall protection required?
Employers must provide protection to prevent employees from falling. According to Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) laws, any surface 3 metres (10 feet) above another level requires fall protection. In most cases, fall protection is required when:
- other means of fall protection are not available or possible, such as guardrails
- working at a height of 3 metres or more (permanent and/or temporary work areas)
- working at a height of less than 3 metres when the surface below could cause a greater injury than just the fall (e.g., machinery; risk of drowning in water or other liquid; open tanks, vats, or pits containing hazardous materials; materials that can shift)
- a worker may fall through an opening in the work surface
- it is determined that fall protection is necessary

How long does it take to install RoofStep systems? Does it require any special tools or skills?
We strongly recommend that RoofStep Systems are installed by a trained installer to ensure proper installation and compliance with legislation. Systems come with an installation manual, engineered drawings and can be performed with one tool.
Does RoofStep integrate with guardrail systems?
Yes. RoofStep will integrate with each applicable RoofGuard System to create fully compliant elevated areas for workers who are working at heights.
Are guardrails needed at parapet ladder openings?
According to OSHA and Canadian provincial regulations, a ladder opening is one of the most dangerous points on a rooftop as it is a transition point between the roof and the ladder. To protect workers, guardrails or hatch guards should be installed around the opening to prevent accidental falls.
