CNESST<\/b> Innovation Award Winner<\/span><\/h2>\n

Made from Qu\u00e9bec-sourced aluminum and assembled in the Lanaudi\u00e8re region, the <\/span>PROTECMI ladder stabilizer<\/b>features two anchoring mechanisms that firmly secure the ladder to the wall or roof.<\/span><\/p>\n

This revolutionary new safety equipment won the CNESST Grand Prize for Occupational Health and Safety in 2020 in the Innovation category. It is a product that combines strength, performance, and ease of use.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was tired of seeing our roofers get injured because of ladders!\u201d, says Patrick Perreault, a roofing foreman for 25 years and the inventor of the <\/span>PROTECMI<\/b> ladder stabilizer<\/b>. After seven years of research and development testing a dozen prototypes, a universal model that installs quickly on all types of ladders was patented. Patrick then partnered with Andr\u00e9 Boucher, president of Couverture Bellemare Lt\u00e9e, to market it in Qu\u00e9bec and Canada.<\/span><\/p>\n

How the Device is Installed<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

The <\/span>aluminum<\/b> ladder stabilizer<\/b> is installed on each side of the ladder, at the third rung, to comply with the 3-foot extension required by CNESST regulations for work at height.<\/span><\/p>\n

The safety equipment <\/span>is adjustable depending on the type of roofs (sloped roof or flat roof with or without parapet) or depending on the wall on which the ladder is installed. Numbers associated with each type of roof or wall are inscribed on the device to facilitate installation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The angle adjuster allows the base of the ladder to be placed so that it has a 1\/3 or 1\/4 angle relative to the support surface.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Home or Construction Sites<\/span><\/h2>\n

It was in October 2023 that the <\/span>PROTECMI<\/b> ladder stabilizer<\/b> was launched on the market by online order on the company\u2019s Website. Customers can order the <\/span>residential<\/b> ladder stabilizer<\/b> or the professional <\/span>ladder stabilizer<\/b>, and it will be delivered within a maximum of 72 hours to their home or business.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>ladder stabilizer<\/b> is essential for all work at height performed by homeowners on their house (both outside and inside). When installed, it prevents any backward movement of the ladder, even on ice. It is also impossible for the ladder to slide sideways (220% more solidity). Additionally, since the ladder is 12 inches away from the roof edge, it does not damage the gutters and flashing.<\/span>
