Safety Railing Is One Type of Fall Prevention Equipment

Organizations have the responsibility of creating safe working environments. OSHA and other government agencies will have specific requirements for different types of protections, such as safe noise levels, fall protection and providing safety equipment. For instance, safety railing should be installed in any location which is elevated off of ground level in order to prevent accidental falls.

Use Safety Railing to Create a Barrier that Prevents Falls
 
Safety railing can be used on stairwells, landings, and other elevated places. Besides these locations, portable railing can be used to secure potentially hazardous work locations. You can install rails around machinery and equipment to prevent access when it is in operation or during maintenance periods. Railings can be set up around access covers where someone could fall into a whole without this barrier in place. You can also use portable railings on roof tops near the edge of the roof whenever work is being performed.
