OSHA-compliant Ships Ladders Safeguard Against Workplace Liability

In work settings, the employer and the business owner are responsible for their employees, which primarily means ensuring the workers’ safety while on the job. And an important safety measure in all work settings is providing compliant equipment, tools, and accessories like ships ladders, machinery, and safety gear, among other things.

Why is OSHA compliance important?

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was established by Congress in 1970 to protect workers while on the job. Specific standards were set for the design and manufacturing of equipment and tools, and training and education were mandated to ensure every employee/worker is fully knowledgeable on the proper use of these tools and equipment, and such. Providing them with compliant materials/equipment and ensuring they know how to safely use these are the employer’s responsibility. Failure to follow OSHA standards and mandates can have dire consequences.

Alaco Ladder, the leading ladder manufacturer in the country with over 100 years of experience in the industry, knows fully well the importance of providing OSHA-compliant ladders to their customers in the building and construction business as well as those involved in building maintenance, architectural design, spec writing, roofing applications, and workplace safety, to name a few.

Just as their clients have a responsibility to their workers to keep safe on the job, Alaco also has a responsibility to their clients to ensure that every ladder unit they offer is compliant to protect their customers from liability. This is why every ladder they sell, from ships ladders to hatch ladders, and more, is designed following strict OSHA and ANSI standards, and manufactured by skilled craftsmen.

The versatility of ships ladders

Typically, ships ladders are recommended for spaces where the size of a standard ladder is too big. Designed for a ship’s confined rooms, ship ladders nowadays are used in a variety of applications. From roof hatch to loft access, mezzanines, narrow hallways or entryways, and attics, ship ladders are utilized in various ways today.

For longevity, Alaco recommends their high-quality aluminum ship ladders. Aluminum, according to experts and professionals, is the new material for the Modern Age.

Alaco Ladder’s Heavy Duty Aluminum Ladders are as strong as steel ladders but lighter, easier to handle, install, maintain, and more sustainable than steel. Alaco manufactures and assembles Fall Arrest Systems, the newest things in access solutions.
