Is My Building Exposed? A 2-Minute Self-Check

Is My Building Exposed? A 2-Minute Self-Check

fact_check The 2-minute self-check

Walk your property and answer honestly: (1) Is every roof or balcony edge where someone could fall 4+ feet guarded or anchored? (2) Are your rooftop tie-off and window-washing anchors load-tested and certified within the last 10 years, with paperwork on file? (3) Are walkways, stairs and ramps free of spalling, standing water and trip hazards? (4) Do fixed ladders over 24 ft have a cage or fall-arrest system? (5) Could you produce inspection and training records if an inspector asked today? A “no” or “not sure” on any one is a citable Subpart D gap.

warning What a “no” really means

Each “no” is a violation that already exists — citation or not. OSHA's fall-protection emphasis program lets an inspector open a case on sight, no complaint and no appointment, and every gap is its own penalty (about $16,500 per serious violation, more per day past an abatement deadline). The buildings that get hit aren't unlucky — they're the ones that never ran this check.

verified_user How we close the gaps

We turn the self-check into a documented, PE-sealed inspection, then self-perform the corrections — guardrail, anchors, concrete, drainage — to the engineer's spec, and hand you abatement-ready paperwork. One team, one contract. Start with a free assessment.

Got this on a citation — or want to get ahead of it?

We certify it and we fix it, under one contract. Start with a free, no-obligation assessment, or build a custom compliance plan in two minutes.
