Safety Rail Systems Are One Item with OSHA Guidelines and Regulations

Creating safe working environments is the responsibility of all organizations. Companies have to ensure that they have taken the proper steps to ensure the safety of their employees. In order to verify and confirm companies are providing the proper level of safety, different government agencies, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), issue compliance regulations, as well as reserve the right to conduct inspections on a regular basis. OSHA has guidelines for a wide variety of areas, including air quality levels, noise levels, the use of safety rail systems, fall arrest systems, safety gates, hatch and ladder guards, skylight guards, and visual warning line systems, in addition to how these items are to be utilized and installed in your industry.

Select a Safety Rail System Based on How It Will Be Used
 
Deciding what type of safety rail system is best for your organization depends upon how it will be used. For example, if you are in construction, purchasing and installing permanent guard rails would not be cost-effective because it is difficult to remove them once the project is completed. Instead, using portable guard rails is better suited for construction firms. During the construction processes, though, your project could including installing permanent systems for your customer. In these situations, you are able to use them in place of your portable system, once they are properly installed. You customer might want you to install railings for delivery docks, along the edge of the roof, or other such areas.
