Non-Penetrating Guardrail
Non-penetrating guardrail uses counterbalances and weighted bases that sit on the roof's surface with no need to penetrate or drill into the rooftop. They are able to adapt to most any rooftop and does not require specialized labor to install.
Metal Roof Railing
Metal rooftops can come in all shapes and sizes. Finding the right railing to fit and provide the best protection is important for worker safety.
Hatch and Skylight Railing
Open roof access hatches and skylights are hazardous to workers. Having these unprotected pose a serious threat to the safety of the work environment. OSHA requires that roof access points be protected by a standard railing and gate.

There may be a number of different situations where you would need alternative styles of railing. Such as an existing wall or the need for some temporary railing.
Make sure your guardrail is OSHA compliant.
- The top rail is 42" above the walking surface.
- The middle rail is half way between the top rail and the walking surface.
- The rail is able to withstand 200 lb. of force in both a downward and outward direction.
