System Description
Our Steel Non-penetrating Guardrails enables fall protection without penetrating the floor and roof surface. When properly applied the counterweight system provides an OSHA compliant fall prevention system (1910.23(c)) for the roof edge, skylight, hatch, loading docks/pits, mezzanine, elevated platform, machine guarding and construction site safety.
The Steel Guardrail System is a freestanding, non-penetrating railing system used for fall protection. It is designed to be a Motion Stopping Safety System thereby acting as a barrier between the worker and a fall hazard. This system complies with all Federal OSHA, CAL-OSHA, & WA-OSHA standards.
Features & Benefits:
EASE TO INSTALL
Easy drop and pin-in-place installation requires no tools or drilling. You do not need to penetrate floors to install the Non-penetrating Steel Guardrail System. Thus, providing you considerable savings in time and installation costs.
MOBILITY
Now you can have fall protection when and where you want it. The Non-penetrating Steel Guardrail System is portable and can be dismantled/assembled as the need arises. For even greater convenience we can also provide the handy transporter.
FLEXIBILITY
The Non-penetrating Steel Guardrail Systems are versatile and can easily be configured to your specific needs. The base can accommodate up to four rails and toe plates if needed.
OVERHEAD PROTECTION
In elevated situations where there is a danger of kicking something onto someone below, OSHA requires the use of 2 x 4 sized toe board between the bases. The bases of the Non-penetrating Steel Guardrails can be retrofitted with our custom toe-boards.
SLIP RESISTANT
The base plates can be equipped with non-slip pads. The optional pads keep the base from slipping on smooth surfaces like concrete or metal. Pads also help cushion base on sensitive materials like rubber roofing.
CORROSION RESISTANT
This system comes standard with a powder coated paint finish, to provide resistant against weather elements. As an option, galvanized finish is also available.
CUSTOM ORDERS
We can provide custom engineering and fabrication for your special needs if our standard the Non-penetrating Steel Guardrail does not meet your needs.
PEACE OF MIND
We use pins with positive locks on our guardrail bases instead of setscrews. This approach allows you to visually inspect the system after assembly and be confident that it is ready for use.
OSHA, CAL-OSHA, & WA-OSHA Compliance
Meets and exceeds all OSHA regulations for fall protection. Tested and independently certified to be in accordance with OSHA fall protection for guardrail regulations.

End Return Kits
If the guardrail system is going to have open ends, you must install a 5ft. outrigger at each open end to be OSHA compliant. The finishing kit shown below, will provide you with the outriggers to close these open ends. Finishing kits are not required for closed loop systems such as squares or rectangles, see illustration below →For a single run system with two open ends, you will need (1) finishing kit. This covers both the ends of the single run.
| Open-Ended Systems Require Finishing Kits | Closed Loop Systems Do Not Require Finishing Kits |

Guardrails Vs Lifelines
If you are trying to decide between a Horizontal Lifeline System on your roof versus a Non-penetrating Guardrail System, consider the following:
Non-penetrating Guardrails |
Horizontal Lifeline & Anchors |
|
| Engineering must verify that your building structure can support the fall arrest loads. | NOT REQUIRED | REQUIRED |
| Roof penetration and sealing to accommodate anchors. | NOT REQUIRED | REQUIRED |
| Installation by a certified installer of horizontal lifelines. | NOT REQUIRED | REQUIRED |
| Training all employees who use the horizontal lifeline system. | NOT REQUIRED | REQUIRED |
| Annual inspections required on all fall arrest systems (semi-annual if in California). | NOT REQUIRED | REQUIRED |
Non-penetrating guardrail systems have many advantages over horizontal lifelines. There are exceptions and we will be glad to discuss them with you.
