Roof hatches provide essential access to rooftops for maintenance, repairs, and inspections; however, these convenient portals pose a significant safety risk if not adequately surrounded by a roof hatch safety railing system. Falls from roofs are a leading cause of workplace injuries and fatalities, making safety railing systems a crucial investment for any building owner or manager responsible for rooftop safety. This includes protecting the perimeter or edge of the roof as well as openings on the roof itself such as hatches and stairways.
