OSHA Compliant
Our safety team will make sure your walkway railing meets OSHA codes and your relevant local codes.
Custom Designed
Due to its modular design, our railing can be configured to the exact specifications of your sidewalk or walkway.
Strong Components
Our guardrail is galvanized inside-and-out with a proprietary coating to ensure corrosion resistant, even in the harshest environments.
Install Quickly
Whether you are self-installing or employing your favorite contractor, our railing requires no specialized tools or labor.
Advantages of Our
Walkway Safety Railing
Durable, Galvanized Railing that Lasts Decades
Corroded railing is unsafe. Our components are designed for longevity and strength.
- Our steel fittings are hot-dipped galvanized to ensure each connection point remains solid.
- Our structural tube has a proprietary coating that has been shown to last up to 4x's longer than standard schedule 40 galvanized pipe.
- Our Kee Klamp fittings are the original and world standard in modular pipe fittings. Our fittings go through rigorous quality control processes that include inspections at multiple points in the manufacturing process.
Railing Designed to Fit Your Site
The guardrail's modular design makes it easy to configure and install your exact specifications. Whether you need guardrail for pedestrian walkways or access sidewalks we will work with you to select the right material, finish, post-spacing, and layout to be OSHA compliant.
Our railing is available in a variety of finishes. Standard railing comes in galvanized steel or aluminum finishes. We also offer additional colors in additional powder-coat finishes.
Plus, our guardrail can accommodate toeboards, in-fill panels, or safety gates - to meet all your safety needs.
Easy to Install, Modify, and Repair
Installation requires no special tools or labor. The pipe components are secured with a hex set-screw to achieve a strong connection. The pipe can be cut to length for you, or shipped in full lengths for precise fitting on site.
With the modular design, our railing is just as easy to modify as it is to install. The components can be repurposed in other areas if the plan is changed onsite.
Our walkway railing is easy to repair, unlike traditional welded railing which needs to be completely replaced when damaged. Simply disassemble any bent section of railing, replace the damaged components, and reassemble. Typical repairs take minutes, not days.

OSHA Fall Protection Guardrail Requirements
Here is a list of the OSHA codes and requirements that are important for fall protection guardrail.
Federal OSHA General Industry
General Industry codes cover every employment location unless there exist an industry specific code, like with Construction.
- 1910.28 - Duty to have fall protection and falling object protection.
- 1910.29 - Fall protection systems and falling object protection - criteria and practices.
Federal OSHA Construction Code
Construction codes apply to work for construction, alteration, and/or repair, including painting and decorating.
- 1926.500 - Scope, application, and definitions applicable to this subpart.
- 1926.501 - Duty to have fall protection.
- 1926.502 - Fall protection systems criteria and practices.
When installing guardrail, whether for General Industry or for Construction, there are some common standards that need to be complied with. Those standards are:
- Every guardrail must be 42 inches in height. In General Industry, you have a +/- 3 inch allowance.
- The top rail must withstand a force of 200 pounds.
- You must have a midrail halfway between the top rail and the walking/working surface so that a 19 inch sphere cannot pass through the guardrail.
- The midrail must withstand a force of 150 pounds.
- Fall protection guardrail is needed when you can fall into dangerous equipment or the fall is equal to or greater than 4 feet in General Industry and 6 feet in Construction.
