Safety railings should be installed in any location where one of your employees could accidently fall and get injured or hurt. Railings can be placed along the edges of elevated locations and have to meet the OSHA required heights. Railings need to be inspected on a regular basis to ensure they remain secure, intact and are noticeable. For example, if your inspection reveals paint is missing from areas of the railing, you will want to repaint the railing.
Another application for safety railings is to place them around dangerous machinery and equipment. The railings will prevent employees from walking up to or near the machinery or equipment while it is in operation. In addition to using the railings, it is often common for employers to attach warning, danger or notice signs to the railings. It is important to remember as an employer, it is your responsibility to create a safe working environment for your employees.
