Metal Buildings

Did you know that slips and falls account for the most hospital trips per year of any type of accident? That’s even more than car accidents! According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, slips and falls are also the leading cause of accidental death for people over the age of 65.

Adding a covered walkway to your building will greatly reduce the risk of these types of accidents occurring. You can rest assured that you’re providing a safe environment for those who use your building, and you will expand accessibility to seniors and people with disabilities or limited mobility.

Safety First

Whether you are a business owner, a government employee, or a homeowner, it is important to maintain a safe path into and out of your building. If the public uses your walkway and it is substandard for any reason, you can actually be held liable if an injury or accident were to occur. Even well-kept sidewalks get slippery when wet or icy and can become a serious hazard, especially at the entrances of buildings where runoff tends to be high and can cause an accident.

A covered walkway will provide a dry, safe entrance to your building. It will provide shelter from scorching heat and will protect the ground from the elements, which will help prevent it from falling into disrepair.

Accessibility

Make your building accessible to all people isn’t just a good business practice, it’s the law. For more information on regulations your business or government building may be subject to, visit ADA.gov.

Whether your entrance is used by your older loved ones or the general public, it’s a good idea to give them an extra layer of protection. With a covered walkway from VersaTube, you get the peace of mind that comes with a safe environment in an easy to install all-inclusive package.
