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 LadderGuard systems? Does it require any special tools or skills?
We strongly recommend that LadderGuard 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 LadderGuard integrate with guardrail systems?
Yes. LadderGuard will integrate with each applicable RoofGuard System to create fully compliant elevated areas for workers who are working at heights.
Does LadderGuard attach to fixed access ladders?
Yes. Fixed access ladders connect to LadderGuard either through standard parts that can be provided or in some cases through custom fabricated connections.
Are guardrails needed at fixed access 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 must be installed around the opening to prevent accidental falls.
Are gates available for ladder entrances?
Yes. Self closing, spring loaded gates can be equipped to LadderGuard systems.
