The I-5 spine from Puget Sound to Portland carries food processing, manufacturing, and one of the country’s great port-fed distribution markets, and I-84 runs the inland food belt through Boise and the Magic Valley, where potatoes, sugar, dairy, and yogurt load out every day. Washington and Oregon both run their own OSHA programs, which means the compliance read here is genuinely local, and we treat it that way, with a dedicated Northwest regional manager on the ground.
Washington enforces through DOSH under L&I and Oregon through Oregon OSHA. Active State Plans, each publishing its own walking-working-surface rules alongside the federal floor. Interpretation always comes down to the inspector standing on your catwalk, wherever you are. So we simply write the read in your state’s terms: our recommendations cite DOSH or Oregon OSHA next to 29 CFR 1910, and the paperwork speaks the language of the program that will actually walk your site.
The work itself tilts toward manufacturing and distribution here: plant rooftops full of units, hatches, and skylights nobody guarded; mezzanine and conveyor access on the production floor; and receiving docks where a mobile gangway beats civil work. Bulk loading is here too. The inland terminals and the food belt see plenty of truck and rail. It just shares the lead instead of owning it.
Puget Sound to Portland. Non-penetrating perimeter guardrail, hatch and skylight protection, and the roof edge nobody guarded. The region’s most common first call.
Boise, Twin Falls, and the Magic Valley. Potato, sugar, dairy, and yogurt processing with receiving bays, tanker tops, and washdown access. The F&B playbook was half-written here.
Tacoma, Portland, Spokane. Bulk and breakbulk where mobile units and right-sized fixed gangways keep crews off the tops of cars.
Your regional manager comes and stands in front of it. Reads it the way your state’s program is likely to, and hands you the right-sized fix with the drawing. Free, every time.

Start an RFQ →Yes. Washington, Oregon, and Idaho are core territory: the I-5 corridor from Puget Sound through Portland, I-90 out to Spokane, and the I-84 food belt through Boise and the Magic Valley, with a dedicated Northwest regional manager on the ground.
Yes, both. Washington runs DOSH under Labor & Industries and Oregon runs Oregon OSHA, each with its own standards layered over the federal floor. Idaho runs under federal OSHA. Our site reads name the specific program and frame everything as how that state is likely to judge the spot, not as a guarantee.
A local regional manager handles the walk, so scheduling is typically days. Platforms and guardrail ship from Minneapolis on I-90/I-84 main lines; standard configurations land in one to two weeks.
Rooftop fall protection. Guardrail, hatch guards, skylight screens. On manufacturing and distribution buildings, modular platforms and crossovers on production floors, and mobile gangways at docks and transload spots. Bulk truck and rail loading rounds it out.
