RISKS EVERY OWNER AND MANAGER SHOULD KNOW:
OSHA VIOLATION RISK
-
OSHA 1910.23 and CalOSHA §3212 require that ANY HATCH, HINGED and/or has LADDER access, must have either a permanent or removable Safety Rail.
-
OSHA is ramping up efforts by hiring 180+ additional building inspectors, placing 1910.23 as the top five expense violation, and top three occurring fine in 2010.
-
A non-compliant hatch puts the owner at risk for OSHA fines of $12,000 per occurrence, up to $250,000.
BUILDING DE-VALUATION RISK
-
Owners’ buildings not compliant with OSHA 1910.23 risk purchasers devaluing the property significantly.
-
Replacement or refit of EACH non-complying roof hatch and/or skylight can easily exceed $100,000.
-
Given the extent of de-valuation, the Property Manager could be also be held legally responsible.
CRIMIAL AND CIVIL RISK (INJURY/FATALITY)
- OSHA violations open the building owner and property manager to criminal and civil prosecution.
- The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report rooftop falls as the number two cause of work-related injuries. As falls from 11+ feet have a mere 50% survival rate, securely protecting the roof hatch is a necessary precaution.
- The average nationwide litigation settlement for a fatal fall is $4.2 MILLION.
"When we looked at the SafePro's RiskPro solution, we found a roof hatch safety system that addressed all our needs. Our people found it to be the safest and easiest to use. They especially like the SafePro HandsFree Hatch Lift. Trying to unlock the roof hatch at the top of the ladder is one of the most hazardous steps in accessing the roof. Our Risk Management department had been unable to really abate those hazards and risk. Our security department was also pleased when they learned about the roof hatch security system. Thank you SafePro.”
