This accessory must be used in conjunction with the Steel Non-penetrating Guardrails system only.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Our\u00a0Steel Non-penetrating Guardrails\u00a0enables fall protection without penetrating the floor and roof surface. When properly applied the counterweight system provides an\u00a0OSHA compliant\u00a0fall prevention system (1910.23(c)) for the roof edge, skylight, hatch, loading dock, mezzanine, elevated platform and construction site safety.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
