If you are trying to decide between a Horizontal Lifeline System on your roof versus a Fixed Guardrail System, consider the following:
| Non-penetrating Guardrails |
Horizontal Lifeline & Anchors |
|
| An Engineer must verify that your building structure can support the fall protection loads. | REQUIRED | REQUIRED |
| Roof penetration and sealing to accommodate anchors. | 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.
