If you run a school, clinic, office campus, or government facility, you’ve got two non-negotiables: keep people safe and keep the doors open. Meeting those goals takes precedence over everything else. In addition, meeting ADA and OSHA codes with minimal disruption to operations is exactly where REDD Team’s prefabricated aluminum access systems shine with clean installs, clear submittals, and everyday durability. This is all achieved without turning your entrance into a jobsite.
Start With The Rule Set
The right code framework depends on the user:
- ADA/IBC/ICC A117.1 governs public routes used by students, visitors, and staff entering the building—think main entries, lobby connections, and accessible exterior paths.
- OSHA Walking-Working Surfaces apply to employee-only access—service doors, rooftop/mechanical platforms, jobsite trailers, and areas inside the construction fence.
Most facilities need both. Rest assured, we configure each doorway to the correct standard so you’re never under- or over-building.
Build Compliance Into the Layout (Not in the Field)
We design to the geometry reviewers expect from day one:
- Our kits ensure a gentle 1:12 running slope, 1:48 cross-slope
- With a 30 in. max rise per run with level landings at top/bottom and turns
- There are continuous handrails with proper heights, continuity, and returns (where rise requires)
- Edge protection is a must on runs and landings
For OSHA routes, we size guard/handrails, toe boards, stair pitch, and walking-surface details to read cleanly to safety teams. We know you need the peace of mind to pass so we ensure that everything meets code and there are no surprises.
Prefabricated So Your Building Stays Open
We know that safety is a priority during the installation process. Not to mention, you want installation to happen quickly with no significant downtime. Hot work at the front door is the enemy of uptime.
Our aluminum ramps, stairs, platforms, and walkways ship as labeled, bolt-together kits:
- There is no field welding at the entry so you won’t face any disturbances or safety issues.
- Standardized hardware, repeatable connections are used throughout for a flawless and easy to replicate build.
- Adjustable legs to match real pad heights and uneven grades
Installs can be made to fit nights, weekends, breaks, holidays or short outage windows so your building keeps operating.
Minimal Disruption Isn’t Just About Install Day
We streamline the whole path from purchase order to inspection so you can rest easy knowing everything has been taken care of every step of the way. :
- Reviewer-friendly submittals that call out slopes, widths, rail heights/returns, edge protection, drainage, and anchorage. In addition, OSHA notes where applicable
- Clear sequencing so crews can confidently stage, assemble, and reopen quickly
- One coordinated system with matching ramps, code stairs, OSHA stairs, platforms, and walkways so finishes and fasteners are consistent across the site.
If your priority is meeting ADA and OSHA codes with minimal disruption to operations, REDD Team can help.
