Roof Edge Fall Protection

The Railguard 200 temporary safety guard rail fall protection was developed for this purpose over 40 years ago.  These safety guard rail systems were designed to protect roofers while they were working on commercial roofing projects.  They are still the best temporary fall protection available without penetrating the surface of the roof.  These temporary safety guard rail systems meet and exceed OSHA standards for permanent safety guard rail systems when properly installed. 

Please refer to our section on setup basics to make sure you are in compliance.  Also, if you are trying to protect an area that can’t exceed a certain length, give us a call to help you configure your setup.  For instance if you have a 10 foot area to protect, a 10 foot system will not fit.  Because of the base, a 10 foot system will need approximately 11 feet of space to fit into.

Because of all the machinery that companies are putting up on the roof, some companies are choosing to put Railguard 200 around the entire perimeter of the roof.  If you are considering doing this, there are a few things you should know.  You can get your rails painted just about any color you would like for no extra charge.  If you want your rails to match the color of your building, just let us know.  Also, for an extra charge you can get your rails and bases galvanized.  Finally rails are also available in stainless steel.
