Where Safety Railing is a MustComplete perimeter protection is vital. However, there may be instances where certain solutions are more appropriate than others. The following areas require safety railing for OSHA compliant protection. Access points are required for workers to gain access to the job and typically pose a direct hazard. OSHA requires all access hatches and ladders to be protected with railing and self-closing gates. Walking-working surfaces are more than just the edges of the building. Any raised areas, platforms, or walkways pose a risk for fall injury.
Skylights are considered by OSHA to be any hole in the roof and are a leading cause of falls at height. Consider your workers’ proximity to skylights and which solution is most appropriate.

Metal roof railing is easily integrated with all your rooftop safety systems, navigating obstacles, changes in elevation, and different roof types. Increased Safety, No Training RequiredSafety Railing provides a passive fall protection solution. A passive system means your workers do not need special training or equipment to be safe from fall hazards while working on your metal roof.
Safety railing systems are customized for your unique metal roof. Because of its passive nature, there is no limit on who can use it or how many at a time. PPE requires a worker to actively use the system, introducing even more risk to an already risky hazard.
Depending on the frequency and duration of the work, warning lines can be used when workers are within 6' or 15' of the roof edge. Safety railing is still required for any work close to the edge and at any access points.
