Ensuring employee safety within the workplace requires commitment from management and staff members. Worker safety relies heavily on training, enforcement of policies, appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and elements within the facility itself.
Industrial and commercial facilities with elevated work areas often require employee access to equipment platforms, mezzanines, rooftops and other maintenance/service areas. REDD Team Industrial Stair Systems for Safer Facility Access are engineered to provide safe, durable access within these work environments while helping facilities increase safety and efficiency.
Industrial facilities have unique needs that typically require custom solutions. Due to equipment configurations, elevation changes, environmental conditions and OSHA compliance, most facilities require customized access that built-in stairs can’t provide. Industrial stairs allow safe and easy personnel access to equipment or work areas while minimizing slip and fall hazards.
Industrial Stairs for Manufacturing Facilities, Warehouses, Distribution Centers and More
REDD Team offers custom industrial stair systems that help keep employees safe while providing access to equipment or elevated work platforms. Our access solutions are used by manufacturers, distribution centers, warehouses, processing facilities, utility substations and commercial buildings. No matter your industry or facility type, REDD Team works with you to design a sturdy, durable and safe stair system that keeps workers safe.
Why Your Facility Needs Industrial Stair Systems
Employees, contractors, inspectors and maintenance teams need safe access to elevated areas of a facility multiple times each day.
Without industrial stair systems, these workers may use ladders or improvised stand access – creating a fall hazard. Climbing up and down ladders with tools, equipment and parts can be dangerous.
Permanent industrial stair systems provide safe, stable access for people to travel throughout your facility. They allow materials to be transported safely and help facility managers minimize risk.
Applications for Industrial Stair Systems
Industrial aluminum stair systems can be used in many different types of facilities and industries. Since every facility has different needs, most industrial applications require custom-configured stair systems.
Industrial stairs are commonly found in:
- Manufacturing Facilities
- Processing Plants
- Utility Substations
- Water/Wastewater Treatment Facilities
- Distribution Centers
- Warehouses
- Power Generation Facilities
- Commercial Buildings
- Data Centers
- Telecommunications Facilities
- Municipal Facilities
- Equipment Platforms

How Industrial Stairs Improve Safety
Falls are a leading cause of injury in many industries. Installing industrial stair systems throughout your facility helps provide safe access to:
- Equipment
- Elevated Work Areas
- Rooftops
- Maintenance Areas
Safety features often found on industrial stairs include:
- Safe stepping surfaces
- Uniform step dimensions
- Handrails
- Guardrails
- Slip resistant stair treads
- Safe transitions
Giving your employees safe access to elevated work areas can help reduce accidents. When employees don’t have to worry about safely climbing ladders and heavy equipment, they can focus on their job. Providing safe access will help improve your facility’s safety culture.
Industrial Stairs for Maintenance Areas
Much of the equipment inside of industrial facilities will require periodic maintenance, inspection and repair. Having safe access to this equipment is essential. Maintenance crews should have safe access to:
- Pumps
- Motors
- Generators
- Electrical Equipment
- HVAC Systems
- Tanks
- Conveyors
- Process Equipment
- Controls
Industrial Stair Systems make getting to this equipment safer and easier. Servicing equipment using a portable ladder can be difficult and create unnecessary hazards to employees. By installing an industrial stair system, you give maintenance crews stable footing and easy access to the equipment they need to service.
Benefits of Industrial Stair Systems
A well-designed industrial stair system can provide many benefits to your facility. Most facilities that install industrial stairs experience:
- Safer working environment
- Decreased accidents
- Easy access to equipment
- Efficient maintenance operations
- Lower maintenance costs
- More efficient operations
- Better organized facilities
Industrial stairs are used every day in facilities across the country. Don’t overlook the value they can bring to your facility.
