Bilco’s new fall-protection grating provides a permanent means of fall protection for the company’s line of single- and double-leaf floor access doors and meets OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.23 requirements.

The system is constructed of light-weight aluminum grating, stainless steel hardware and features a stainless steel hold-open device to secure panels in the 90-degree position. It has a safety yellow powder-coat finish, making it more durable, attractive and extremely scratch-resistant. The system is available on all standard size 300 PSF and H-20 reinforced access doors, and can be supplied on custom size doors when specified. Retrofit kits are available for existing Bilco products. For more information, visit www.bilco.com.

Lenses also come with hard coat for long-lasting scratch resistance, or Uvextra® anti-fog coating to reduce fogging and ensure safe visibility.
