Question 1

What fall protection equipment does OSHA require at different heights?

Answer

OSHA 29 CFR 1926.501 requires fall protection at 6 feet in construction (vs. 4 feet in general industry). You need either guardrails, safety net systems, or personal fall arrest systems (PFAS). A PFAS includes an ANSI Z359.1-rated full-body harness, shock-absorbing lanyard, and an anchor point rated for 5,000 lbs per worker. For leading edge work, self-retracting lifelines (SRLs) are strongly recommended.

Question 2

Which construction adhesives withstand outdoor weather and temperature changes?

Answer

For outdoor structural bonding, polyurethane adhesives (PU) offer the best all-around weather resistance — they cure in moisture and handle temperature cycling from -40F to 200F. Silicone sealants are best for expansion joints and waterproofing where flexibility is needed. For heavy masonry, use construction epoxies rated for sustained load. Always check the TDS for service temperature range and UV resistance.

Question 3

How do I estimate MRO supply quantities for a construction project?

Answer

Start with crew size and project duration. For consumable PPE: plan 1 pair of gloves per worker per 2-3 days, 1 hard hat per worker per 6 months, and 1 hi-vis vest per worker per 3 months. For adhesives and sealants: estimate by linear feet of joint or square footage of application. Submit a material list via our RFQ form — our team will help you right-size quantities and schedule phased deliveries to match your project timeline.

Question 4

Can you deliver MRO supplies directly to a construction job site?

Answer

Yes, we ship to any commercial address including active job sites. For large orders, we offer freight shipping with scheduled delivery windows. Provide your site foreman's contact number so the carrier can coordinate access. For multi-site projects, we can set up separate delivery addresses and split shipments on a single purchase order.
