Case Study: Nitto Avecia Biotech – April 2024
Location: Millford, MA
Problem Statement: Nitto Denko Avecia is a private biotechnology company focused on the development and manufacture of novel medicines using biotechnology techniques. They have recently built a new manufacturing plant in Massachusetts for which they required rooftop safety railing as required by OSHA standards 1910.28 and 1910.29.
Christopher Simpson reached out to Safety Rail Source® in January of 2024 to discuss their safety needs. They estimated a need for 680 LF of safety railing but requested that a representative of Safety Rail Source® visit their building to make a professional assessment.
Problem Resolution: Chad Vanning of Safety Rail Source® was able to walk the roof of the new building with the Facilities Manager, Alex DeMorais, in February of 2024. The final assessment was that 874 LF of NextGen 3000™ Universal Guardrail were needed for a complete fall protection solution. The customer also wanted some railing they had left over from an installation on another building, which was not a problem. Chad Vanning coordinated with a local roofing contractor to perform the installation in April of 2024. With input from the Nitto EHS Specialist and the Director of Facilities Engineering, the installation of all the OSHA-compliant railing was completed in less than a week.
