Solution Summary: Non-penetrating guardrails for roof work

How Risks are Reduced:

An inexpensive and easily installed guardrail system is a more reliable than using safety monitors and a warning line.

Effects on Productivity:

A prefabricated guardrail system eliminates the need to construct a system on site, is certified to meet OSHA requirements and may be reusable on future projects. A safety monitor is not required once the system is in place.

Additional Considerations:

Fall protection must be provided during guardrail system installation. Step inclined roofs require appropriate systems specifically engineered for such operations.
