CAI Safety’s Aluminum Non-penetrating Guardrail prevents those who work at height from reaching an area where fall hazards exist. Installing a guardrail system means eliminating the risk of falling for anyone who sets foot on a roof. When installed around the entire roof surface, the system can be used by an unlimited amount of users who do not need any know-how on how to use the system as the entire roof has become a safe zone.

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.
