Roof access platforms, such as roof access steps, are an example of flexible, bespoke safe access solutions. They’re available in a range of widths and heights while keeping the operative safe and always enclosed within a handrail. These access gantry systems can be configured in a variety of heights, widths and orientations to cover most applications and are a great option for anyone looking for a rooftop safety solution. As a modular design, they’re easy to customise to your exact needs for added safety on site. As safety experts, you can trust our team at Altus Safety to design and install the perfect step over platforms for your site.
Our step over platforms can be modular or flexible and assembled in a kit-like form to ensure that they can navigate any obstructions or accessories commonly seen on a roof. Perfect for navigating rooftop plant equipment, they can be installed on a range of roof types for a range of clients. Whether you need to navigate pipes, cable trays, conduits or other roof-based equipment, these roof access platforms can ensure the safety of workers whilst simultaneously allowing them to move around the roof freely to complete their tasks.
Without step over platforms, industrial environments are filled with would-be trip hazards. By creating a system that avoids these obstacles altogether, your site instantly becomes a safer place. And all of our step over solutions meet and exceed British and EU safety standards.
Available as freestanding units on support feet ‐ this non‐penetrative option is often the preferred installation method to avoid any potential issue with your roof.
We can run site surveys and discuss your site needs to ensure you get the best option for your site. Sometimes fixing is best, but we can discuss this with you.
Absolutely! They’re suitable for multiple users per system so are great if you need multiple workers on the roof at the same time. The steps are also designed to be slip resistant and can accommodate any undulations in roof levels for increased safety.
All step over units and roof access systems are designed to comply with BS 5395‐3:1985 –The Code of Practice for the design of Industrial type stairs, permanent ladders and walkway, so you know our systems are designed, installed, and maintained to the highest industry standards.
You don’t just get off the shelf step overs in kit form with our team either – we’re able to provide bespoke units to ensure maximum compatibility with your site’s needs if required.
Step over units and roof access systems comply with BS 5395‐3:1985. According to the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (P.U.W.E.R) 1998, they must also be tested a minimum of every 12 months by a working at height specialist company to ensure compliance and proper safety standards.
All of our roof access systems are structurally approved and meet the requirements of current health and safety legislation for stairs and gantries to ensure safe access for your workers and contractors.
Step over platforms provide safe access to different areas of a roof, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be a design feature at your site, too. They’re available in Aluminium, GRP, Galvanised Steel and Stainless Steel and can be Powder Coated to any RAL colour.
Step over units can be used on any good quality structure which is capable of withstanding the additional loading exerted by the system. Systems are available as freestanding units on support feet which are usually the preferred option to not penetrate the roof. Alternatively if this is unachievable we can fix the system to most roofs using various feet.
These systems are commonly installed in the following sectors:
Really the two offer different solutions to different problems. Roof access ladders are the perfect solution if you require easy access to the roof of a building or a higher level on site. Roof access steps or step over platforms are specifically designed for use on the roof to safely access other parts of the roof to avoid potential hazards. They can be delivered pre-assembled for easy installation and come with a variety of key features to ensure safe use. From step over platforms fixed to roofs with corrosion resistance for extra peace of mind to those featuring anti slip threads for safer use, we can create a safe solution for you that meets all relevant height regulations and safety standards.
Step Over Units are also known as: Stair systems, roof access systems, freestanding plant access.
