Guardrail Systems
Here we see a 2nd floor perimeter completely protected by a guardrail system.

Guardrail Systems
Guardrails in place during re-roofing activities.
Note: The picture on the right lacks protection for the rake edge so some means of protecting this worker (guardrail, safety nets or PFAS) must be used.

Fall Hazard
12
Some builders use 24” OC studs for non-load bearing walls. Prior to installation of drywall, temporary guardrail systems must be installed to prevent workers from falling through the studs.

Fall Hazard
14
Each employee on walking/working surfaces shall be protected from falling through holes (including skylights) more than 6 feet (1.8 m) above lower levels, by personal fall arrest systems, covers, or guardrail systems erected around such holes (1926.501(b)(4)).
This open-sided stairwell opening can be protected by a guardrail system (and handrail system – 1926.1052(c)).

Safety Net Systems
These nets have been positioned to prevent falls to the interior of the building. Employers should consult the manufacturer’s instructions and/or a registered professional engineer to ensure proper installation of the net and bracing of the stud walls. Give due consideration to the potential impact load on the net and lateral load on the stud walls in the event of a fall.

Anchorages used for attachment must be capable of supporting at least 5,000 pounds per employee attached, or must be designed and used as follows:
◦ As part of a complete personal fall arrest system which maintains a safety factor of at least two.
◦ Under the supervision of a qualified person.
Employer should look to the manufacturer’s instructions or the recommendations of a registered professional engineer for proper installation.

A full body harness distributes the force of the fall over the thighs, pelvis, waist, chest and shoulders
Body belts have not been allowed as part of an arrest system since January 1998.

PFAS When stopping a fall, a PFAS must:
◦ Limit the arresting force to 1800 pounds.◦ Be rigid so that an employee can not fall more than 6 feet◦ Bring an employee to a complete stop and limit maximum deceleration
distance an employee travels to 3.5 feet◦ Withstand 2X potential impact of employee falling 6 ft. or permitted fall
distance
