As more equipment is being installed on these tall roofs, many commercial grain operations and large farm operations are choosing to install roof safety walkarounds, according to a provided news release.
BROCK® Mid-Roof Walkarounds are permanently installed walkways that give workers 360-degree access to grain bin roofs and mounted components. These walkarounds help protect the safety of employees and improve access for equipment repair and maintenance.
Large bin roofs often hold power vents and other roof-mounted equipment that require periodic cleaning and maintenance checks. Having a walkaround system in place aids this process and helps companies meet or exceed relevant OSHA standards for worker safety when installed properly.
“This is an important safety feature to make access around the bin roof and to the equipment mounted on the roof much safer,” said John Tuttle, vice president of sales and marketing for Brock Grain Systems. “The harder it is to access bins, the more likely maintenance procedures won’t be completed.” Performing maintenance and repairs in a timely manner can help to avoid larger, more costly problems down the road.
