The Ultimate List of Roof Guardrail Do's and Don'ts

 

If you have a new home, you should install a roof guardrail to protect the area above your head. Listed below are the specifications for roof guardrails. Make sure the design meets these requirements. A top rail that is 900mm or more in height must be installed, and a mid rail at least 450mm below the top rail should be installed. If your roof pitches higher than twelve degrees, a second mid rail should be installed, and infill panels should be added if your roof is more than twenty-five degrees.

One of the best rooftop guardrail systems features 18-feet of leading edge protection and two 6-foot sections for weighted ballast. In addition, the system includes a hinged variable fitting in the center, which allows for total versatility when setting up the system. This allows you to make a wide variety of configurations and protect a variety of applications. Another great feature is the All-In-One temporary guardrail, which can be used on different applications, such as low-edged sidewalks, slab overhangs, and parapet walls of up to 24" in height. The base and parapet clamp can be stored together for easy storage, and can be easily removed and replaced when the need arises.

The installation of a roof guardrail requires training and the use of safe methods. An employer must designate a person to be responsible for the system. This person must be a trained and competent person who can perform the necessary tasks and be responsible for the installation, regular inspection, and removal of the roof guardrail. The training should be conducted by a safety officer or other qualified person. A roof guardrail system is an excellent investment for any building or commercial establishment.
