Time-lapse Video: Watch the ReadySeries Industrial Safety Platform Assembly in Action

Published: February 20th, 2025

When it comes to industrial workplace safety, minimizing downtime is critical. That’s why OSCO Safety’s ReadySeries fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) platforms are designed for rapid installation — whether you’re proactively enhancing safety or responding to an OSHA compliance requirement.

In this time-lapse video, you’ll see just how quickly a 3’x3′ ReadySeries platform, complete with stairs and guardrails, can be assembled.

While the time to assemble a ReadySeries platform varies by the configuration, amount of personnel and experience, in general, a single platform system can be assembled within 1–2 hours with common tools and standard labor utilizing 1–2 people — no welding, special skills or hot work permits needed.

 

 

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Building a ReadySeries platform is straightforward and efficient. Here’s a breakdown of the simple installation process:

1. Stand Up the Frames

The frames create the “legs” that serve as the foundation and support structure for your FRP platform. There will be two frames for every section of your platform structure. Position them upright in their approximate installation positions. You’ll finalize the positions later as you assemble the other components.


2. Select the Top Kit

Place the platform top in the correct position.


3. Attach the Top Kit

Secure the platform top to the frames using the provided bolts, washers and nuts.


4. Attach the Guardrails

Secure ReadySeries guardrail sections using two spacers per guardrail and provided hardware.


5. Attach the Stairs

Position and secure the ReadySeries stair kit using the appropriate bolts, washers and nuts provided in a separate hardware packet.

 

Side-Mount Option

If mounting the stairs to the side of the FRP platform, use the longer bolts provided in the hardware packet.


 

6. Attach the Stair Rails

Attach the pre-assembled stair rail kit to the stairs using the provided spacers, bolts washers and nuts. Railings work on either side. Secure the stairs to the floor (hardware not provided) using screws or bolts appropriate for your flooring material.

That’s it! Once assembled, the ReadySeries platform provides long-lasting durability, strength and corrosion resistance for decades of reliable use.

 

Why ReadySeries?

Unlike many traditional metal platforms that require complex fabrication, heavy equipment or specialized labor, ReadySeries offers a modular, adaptable solution that can be installed on-site with minimal effort. This makes it an ideal choice for EHS professionals, maintenance personnel and facility managers who need a safe, OSHA-compliant platform that installs fast and performs reliably.
