System Description

The Ballast Weight, weighing 58 lbs., is designed for additional wind loading in geographic locations with higher wind speeds. Made of cast iron with a galvanized finish.

This accessory must be used in conjunction with the Steel Non-penetrating Guardrails system only.

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 dock, mezzanine, elevated platform 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 will comply with all Federal OSHA standards found in 1926.500-503 and 1910.23.

**CAUTION WARNING** This is a fall protection system. The system must be used in strict conformance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death. You can download the system manuals from the ‘Downloads’ tab. You are also encouraged to contact us in case of any questions.
