Product Description
Jobsite Guardrail System – OSHA-Compliant Fall Prevention Barrier
The Jobsite Guardrail System is a durable, OSHA-compliant solution for creating safe perimeters around rooftops, open edges, and other fall hazard zones. Designed strictly for fall prevention (not fall arrest), these modular guardrails help prevent accidental falls by providing a physical barrier—no harness required. Ideal for construction sites, flat roof maintenance, and industrial safety zones.
Note: Guardrails are sold individually. Baseplates and knuckles are sold separately.
Key Features
- Fall Prevention Only: Use around leading edges to prevent falls. Do not attach lifelines, harnesses, or other fall arrest systems.
- OSHA Compliant: Exceeds OSHA 1910 (General Industry) and OSHA 1926 Subpart M (Construction) safety standards.
- Modular Length Options: Available in multiple sizes to fit your layout:
- 6’ Guardrail – 42”H, 31 lbs (Part # GUARDRAIL6)
- 8’ Guardrail – 42”H, 39 lbs (Part # GUARDRAIL8)
- 10’ Guardrail – 42”H, 47 lbs (Part # GUARDRAIL10)
- 12’ Guardrail – 42”H, 54 lbs (Part # GUARDRAIL12)
- Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Powder-coated steel guardrails resist wear; baseplates and knuckles are galvanized for corrosion resistance.
- Low-Slope Roof Compatible: Approved for use on roofs with pitches up to 1/12 (5º).
- Toeboard & Outrigger Requirements: Requires 2" x 4" toeboards; outriggers must be installed at both ends of each system or gap.
Installation Notes
- Install according to the manufacturer’s instructions included with each system.
- Baseplates must be placed a minimum of 24" back from any roof edge or opening.
- Outriggers are required at both ends of a continuous run or any system interruption.
Important: This is a passive fall prevention system. It is not rated for use with personal fall arrest, rescue, or work positioning systems.
