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.
