Rooftop Pipe & Utility Crossovers
priority_high Why it matters
Commercial roofs are crowded with gas lines, condensate and water piping, conduit and duct. When workers have to step over those runs to service equipment, OSHA requires a crossover platform or bridge — a stepped, guardrailed walkover — not a leg-over-the-pipe scramble. Tripping over a roof line is both a fall hazard and a risk to the line itself.
event_repeat How often it's checked
The duty to provide safe access is continuous, so a compliant crossover has to be in place wherever the path of travel crosses an obstruction. OSHA cites it on inspection, and on the structural side corroded roof-access platforms and walkways get flagged on Milestone and county recertifications.
construction How La Gala fixes it
We design and fabricate compliant crossover stairs and bridge platforms — guardrailed, slip-resistant, and engineered to clear the line — so crews cross gas, water and conduit runs safely instead of over them.
