FEATURES

Whether you refer to them as access covers, sewer covers, manhole covers, hatch covers, or utility access points, once uncovered OSHA calls these hazards by just one name. They are all classified as holes under OSHA 1926.501(b)(4). The Garlock Safety Systems Maintenance Hole fall prevention system provides a fully OSHA-compliant system to protect workers from this danger.
