SLATOR Safety Tool is Quickly Becoming Standard Equipment for Every Crew

Post - Safety Tool
October 17, 2016 at 1:39 p.m.

Falls are the leading cause of injury and death in the workplace according to OSHA.  The SLATOR Safety Tool can help keep workers safe.

Safety is a priority in the roofing industry and the SLATOR Safety Tool is quickly becoming a standard part of many contractors’ standard safety gear. The SLATOR is receiving great reviews from contractors in the field, as evidenced by these letters from Hertless Brothers Roofing and J.D. Miles & Son, Inc.

Dear Ronny:

I wanted to take a moment and share with you how pleased we are with the SLATOR. After meeting you and seeing the product, I did not hesitate to purchase them. We are very happy with the SLATOR’s. The entire company was introduced to the product and trained with all of the available instructional videos. The most common comment and a greatest complement was “Why didn’t I think of that!” showing the genius, simplicity and appreciation for the SLATOR. We now consider the SLATOR to be part of our standard company issued safety equipment. As such, each of our crews has at a minimum a SLATOR and a SLATOR-mini. Overall, the guys really liked the concept and are using them in the field.

Thank you for your commitment to the safety of our industry! I wish you the best.

Best Regards, Scott Shufflebarger, President

Ronny,

This note is to congratulate you on your new invention, the SLATOR. More importantly this will evidence our company's gratitude for your sharing the device at such a reasonable price with those of us performing steep slope repairs and installations. Our Safety Committee met and devoted a couple of hours to examining the device and watching the videos you provided. That committee convinced me that the SLATOR would make our initial set up on each steep job safer; and beyond that to enable them to perform their tasks on steep slope roofs both more safely and more comfortably. That has proven to be the case on those jobs where we have used the SLATOR. We have found that we can get to the ridge to install our anchors there much more safely even as we start each steep job.

In my roofing career of over forty years, I have never seen such a simple, yet ingenious low-cost product which saves us money on our labor costs while enabling us to perform our work much more safely at the same time. Thank you very much.

Dudley Miles, CEO D. Miles & Sons, Inc. www.jdmilesandsons.com Serving Virginia and North Carolina since 1910. (Mr. Miles is a former President of the NRCA - 1992)

The SLATOR conforms to OSHA 1926, 1910 and ANSI Z359.1 requirements for fall protection when installed and used according to instructions.  Used properly, it can help protect the roof from wear and tear while helping contractors save time, energy and even lives.
