  • A History of Safety

Fume Control
Fumes from a roofing kettle are difficult to control in an outdoor environment. The Garlock FumeGuard Control System helps minimize fumes and odor when heating asphalt or coal tar pitch for the hot roofing process. This can be especially important to building occupants in school, office and health care settings.

Accident/Fall Protection
To help ensure the safety of our tradesmen, Langer has invested in multiple AES Raptor R1000 fall protection systems, which comply with OSHA fall arrest requirements and can be moved to various locations on a flat roof.  Their mobility makes them versatile enough to use on projects with limited tie-off options for fall restraint.
