Height Safety Roof Access Hatches for high-rise buildings offer secure, sealed entry points to rooftops, designed with safety and ease of access in mind.
Roof access hatches offer several advantages for ensuring roof safety, including:

2. Safety Compliance: Our roof access hatches are designed to meet strict height safety regulations, ensuring that your building remains compliant.
3. Reduced Risk of Injury: By providing a safer and shorter route to rooftop areas, roof access hatches minimize the risk of injury for workers.
4. Cost-effective: Roof access hatches are a cost-effective solution that requires minimal maintenance.

At SAS Projects, our experts can help you determine the best roof access hatch for your specific requirements.

For situations where space is limited, we offer the Vista ceiling hatch with an integrated lightweight fold-down ladder. This combination provides safe and compliant access to the ceiling space and the rooftop. The fold-down ladder is designed to integrate seamlessly with our roof access hatches, offering a space-efficient solution.
To provide fall protection around roof access hatches, SAS Projects highly recommends installing an Access Hatch Guardrail Kit. These guardrail kits are designed to offer edge protection around the opening of the hatch and serve as a grab rail for workers, ensuring safe transitions to and from the ladder. An optional self-closing gate can be mounted at the access opening to maintain the highest safety standards. Guardrail kits can be mounted to various roof profiles, including concrete and metal deck.
