RoofWalk (anti-Slip Walkway)

The RoofWalk Walkway is designed to create a sure-footed walkway on your rooftop. This fully customizable platform utilizes non-slip materials and is installed above the roof membrane ensuring no damage is being done while it is being utilized. Utilizing our counterweighted baseplates and RoofGuard guardrails, this system can be tailored to any flat roof or low slope application, providing safer access to any workspace by eliminating slipping and fall hazards. Engineered for safety and built economically, the RoofWalk system is a must on any rooftop where constant roof access is required.

Our rooftop walkway systems are free standing and utilize our counter weighted baseplates, eliminating the need for hardware connections to your rooftop. Combine with RoofStep Crossover and Ladder series to further improve your rooftop accessibility and safety system.

RoofWalk has 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.

Your Perfect Solution Awaits!

Frequently Asked Questions

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

According to Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) laws, every travelled surface in a workplace must be slip resistant and kept free of splinters, holes, loose boards and tiles, and similar defects.

RoofWalk systems are non-penetrating and designed to work on common commercial rooftops (membrane, steel, and river rock).

Yes. The vast majority of RoofWalk systems are made from grated aluminum, non-slip material. When specified by the customer, Liftsafe Fall Protection can provide galvanized steel, but aluminum is much lighter so it is more common.

Yes. RoofWalk will integrate with RoofGuard to create a fully compliant walkway for workers who are working at heights.

We strongly recommend that RoofWalk 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.

Yes. RoofWalk can be installed on a sloped roof. However, the angle of the slope determines whether or not roof penetration is needed for guardrails and walkways.

ON THE LEADING EDGE OF SAFETY

Passive Vs Active Fall Protection

When a hazard assessment is completed, and a need for fall protection is established, there are two general types of systems that can solve the need and keep the workers safe, passive or active fall protection.

Passive Fall Protection
A “passive” fall protection system refers to a system that is non-dynamic, stationary, and does not move or adapt or change when in or out of use. They do not require the use of Personal Protective Equipment or active participation from the worker. Typical passive solutions include Guardrails or Netting Systems. This is the preferred choice for its ease of use without the need for additional training and PPE.
Active Fall Protection
An “active” Fall Protection System requires the use of special equipment and participation by the worker. There are two types of Active Fall Protection Systems, fall restraint and fall arrest systems. These systems share the common feature of securing the worker wearing a full-body harness to an anchorage point with some type of connecting system, depending on the application. Active Fall Protection Systems include Fall Arrest Anchors, Roof Anchors, and Safety Harness’.
