Roofstep Parapet Ladders (Ladder and Crossover Platforms)
RoofStep is made up of two unique and innovative parapet ladder systems (ladder and crossover) which enable you to safely move over rooftop elevation changes including parapet walls. These fall prevention systems come in several different standard and custom kits and are designed to have the engineered ladders on the face and back of the parapet walls and a platform over the parapet area in order to help protect the sensitive roof membrane or coping material from damage.
These rooftop platforms and ladders are also designed in order to blend in with the existing roof aesthetics and can be customized in order to have anywhere from one step to several. When coupled with our RoofWalk System and RoofGuard Classic Guardrail System you will have a complete rooftop safety system and ensure the safety of both your roof and workers/contractors.
RoofStep Parapet Ladder systems have been designed to meet or exceed all major North American safety standards/regulations including Ontario MOL requirements, ANSI, OSHA, Canadian OHS & WorkSafeBC.
Does your rooftop have Workers Accessing it?
If you answered yes, then fall protection is required as mandated by the below legislation.
MOL Industrial Establishments Regulation 851: Section 13 (1)(a)
(1) Subject to subsection (2), there shall be a guardrail.
a) around the perimeter of an uncovered opening in a floor, roof or other surface to which a worker has access.
Standard RoofStep Parapet Crossover (XS) Kits
Eliminate the potential of rooftop trip hazards over piping and other rooftop obstructions with RoofStep XS Series. The anti-slip walkway is designed in order to allow workers to safely move over obstructions located on the same roof level.
RoofStep Standard Ladder (LD) Series Kits
The RoofStep LD series is a modular system that enables workers to move from one level to another with guardrails on the upper elevation to help prevent a fall to the lower level. Safely scale parapet walls and changes of elevation on your rooftop with this fall protection system.

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.
