A modular setup of Slope Safe™ anchors is used for a horizontal lifeline (HLL) to run along the peak of the building to provide continuous fall protection coverage.

Due to the design of the […]
Guardrail: Dilworth Shopping Centre – Kelowna, BC
We installed approximately 60′ (18m) of custom-designed guardrail to fit around 3 different hatch locations on 3 different roof sections where workers were exposed to a fall hazard every time they accessed or exited the roof. One of the hatches happened to be located on a significantly sloping roof that required our design to incorporate […]
Ladders & Warning Line: Doja Cannabis – West Kelowna, BC
Design and installation of approximately 26′ of climbing ladders, one of aluminum and one of steel. The aluminum ladder is on the exterior of the building allowing access from ground level, therefore it features a security gate to prevent unauthorized access. The steel ladder has a slightly forward-leaning angle for climbing to avoid obstructions surrounding […]
