Ensure Safety and Compliance with SafeRack’s Industrial Access Solutions

Safe and reliable access to elevated machinery, control panels, and maintenance areas is important in an industrial environment to maintain productivity and prevent injuries.  SafeRack’s work platform with metal safety handrails by ErectaStep offers a superior solution to traditional custom-fabricated steel structures. Built with high-grade aluminum, our platforms provide a lightweight, corrosion-resistant alternative thatis adaptable to any workspace.

Why Choose a Modular Work Platform?

Traditional welded platforms require long lead times, expensive engineering, and specialized labor for installation. SafeRack changes the game with our OSHA-compliant modular work platform by ErectaStep. Our work platforms can be modified and reused as necessary on your worksite, such as equipment maintenance, cleaning vehicles, and emergency access. upsides to our modular systems include:

  • No Welding Required: Our bolt-together design eliminates the need for hot work permits, specialized tools, or heavy cranes. You can assemble and install a complete platform system in a matter of hours with minimal disruption to your daily operations.
  • Immediate Availability: SafeRack’s work platform components are in stock and ready to ship right away, keeping your project on schedule.
  • Future-Proof Flexibility: As your facility evolves, so can your access system. Our modular design allows you to reconfigure, expand, or relocate your platform with ease.

ErectaStep’s Uncompromising Safety Features

Falls remain a leading cause of workplace injuries. In 2022, there were 92,010 nonfatal falls to lower-level injuries resulting in days away from work (DAFW). The median time lost was 22 days. These incidents not only leave workers with bodily harm, but can also result in lost productivity and money. One study found that an estimated 99 million production days were lost and $70 billion in medical costs. Taking proactive action now can save your business both time and money. 

ErectaStep work platforms provide robust fall protection for elevated machinery access. They either meet or exceed all OSHA requirements and create clear means of egress for all workers. A few key safety features of our equipment include:

  • Platform Railing: Every platform comes equipped with heavy-duty, powder-coated handrails that meet OSHA 1910.29 standards. These rails provide a secure grip and a vital physical barrier against falls.
  • Slip-Resistant Surfaces: Our aggressive tread designs ensure secure footing in wet, oily, or dusty conditions, significantly reducing slip hazards.
  • Stability You Can Trust: Despite being lightweight, our aluminum platforms offer industrial-strength stability, comparable to steel but without the maintenance headaches.
