SPECIALTY ROOF LADDER DECALS RECOMMENDED.
So, you're a regular roofer or painter and decide to take that extension ladder apart and attach a ridge hook, or SLATOR bracket to it to do some cool things to . . . work safer, work faster, not damage the roof (creating more work/risk), and go home and do it again the next day right?
Working smart right? Yes and no. Sure, that's smart and ridge hooks and ladders have been used for decades, however . . . as soon as you've used the ladder in a manner not intended or designed by the manufacturer, then you've just violated OSHA's 1910 rules on ladders. Everyone who can read and takes the time to examine any extension ladder, also knows that they were not originally intended to be used separately, or . . . on a roof. Are 50,000 roofers and painters wrong in doing so? No, of course not. Just be prepared, have a plan and train your team. Labeling and training are extremely important for worker safety. OSHA cares about worker safety and will ask for documentation of that training as well as proper labeling. We have decals and training programs that can help your team.

Buy buckets of approved 4" TimberLok fasteners through Amazon. Expect to pay around $100 for 250 fasteners. If you don't provide the team with the fasteners they need, they will use what they have in their tool belt, and that can be dangerous.

I am writing you about our recent purchase of your ingenious product The Slator. Our foreman was ecstatic after using it for the first time. His comments were “I wish I had a set 25 years ago”. It has definitely made his job easier and safer. Roofing is a by nature a hazardous profession. I have been in the roofing business for 35 years and it is not too often that a safety product comes along that truly makes the job safer, is easy to work with and the roofers actually like using it. The Slator does all this. Thank you for this product; we will be ordering more for our shingle crews as well.

V-1 Anchor. This OSHA compliant anchor is the strongest, easiest to install anchor we've ever used. Requires minimal slate removal.
L-3 Low-slope ladder bracket - (Designed to be used with the ACRO slater's bracket #19600). Similar to a ladder jack, but made for lower slope pitches. They provided quick, adjustable access for the crew who took down this chimney, sheathed the opening, then slated. Notice the V-1 anchors on each side. Ladders were held in place with SLATOR brackets.
Valuable Rainy Day TIP for the Business Owners: Did you know that you can be fined by OSHA if you do not have a record of properly training your employees how to install a fall protection anchor? Our installation instruction pamplet is fantastic and it even has an "Employee Comprehension Test" on the last page. Have your employees watch our videos and retake the test every year. Proper training is a cornerstone of a successful business. Make it a mandatory part of your OSHA safety program. Document this training by keeping a record in each employee's file.
