Use Safety Rails in Your Building to Help Prevent Accidental Falls

Safety rails can be used to help prevent accidental falls in your facility. These types of rails should be placed in any location which is elevated off of the ground. The rails prevent employees from walking off a ledge and falling, such as loading docks. The rails can also be used on ground level to section off different work locations. They can be used in areas where dangerous equipment is in operation or areas where other types of safety equipment are required.

Portable Rail can be a better solution than Permanent Rail
 
The term portable rail can be a misleading. Facility managers often think that if the rail is going to be there forever, and that they should only be looking at permanent installed rail. Portable Rail can be a better solution.  Why?  It has the same lifespan as permanent rail, does to require any drilling, bolting or roof penetrations, does void rooftop warranties. It also can be easily moved in the future for rooftop repairs saving cost permanent rail removal. Most importantly it is less expensive that traditional welded and bolted in place railing.
