OSHA COMPLIANT GUARDRAIL: PROTECTING WHAT MATTERS workers from slipping between the top rail and the floor. If an intermediate rail is not used, screens or mesh must be installed in between the walking/ working surface and the top rail.

Guardrails must be free of components that can cause punctures, scratches or snag clothing and be able to withstand a 200-pound concentrated load along the top rail.

This is an example of guardrail that meets OSHA’s requirements (42” tall, intermediate rail at mid-point, 200-pound concentrated load and 3.5” toe board along base).

In 2017, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) released its final rule on Walking-Working Surfaces and Personal Fall Protection Systems. While the final rule sought to align regulation with advancements in best practices and technology, the 513-page document ultimately left those tasked with compliance confused about how to best proceed. Given the critical role that guardrail plays in helping warehouses and distribution centers achieve compliance with this regulation, a closer examination of this essential protective equipment is merited.

To begin, OSHA requires that a fall protection system be installed on any walking or working surface that is four feet or higher above a lower level.

One of the most common types of fall protection equipment used in these instances is guardrail. To be considered compliant with OSHA’s regulations, the guardrail must stand 42 inches (plus or minus three inches) above the working or walking surface.

An intermediate rail must be located at 21 inches (or about halfway up) on the guardrail system to prevent 4 n Forklift Safety Insert

Intermediate rails are required to carry a 150-pound concentrated load. Additionally, any guardrail system that is protecting a ledge that poses a fall risk (i.e. any instance where a tool or piece of merchandise could fall off the ledge and hit a person or piece of machinery) is required to have 3.5-inch toe board installed along its base.

Facilities looking to enhance their compliance with OSHA’s rules regarding elevated walking-working surfaces should begin by investigating modular guardrail systems.

Modular guardrail systems are the most versatile type of guardrail available in the material handling marketplace. Suitable for a variety of applications, the pipe and fitting construction is durable enough to withstand the demands of the most rugged environment. Applications include (but are certainly not limited to) fall protection around open shafts, roof edges, mezzanines, work platforms, loading docks and catwalks.

Designed to be light weight and easy to install, the highly versatile nature of this modular rail system can be customized to a facility’s exact needs and specifications.

Mostly built off-site with interchangeable rail components, the ease with which these protective systems can be installed ensures minimal disruption to a facility’s daily operations.

Applications for guardrail also extend beyond compliance with OSHA’s fall protection regulations.

The ability of what is known as “safety guardrail” to provide a strong physical and visual barrier is just one way in which warehouses and distribution centers have used this type of protective equipment to achieve greater levels of safety within their facilities. The following three examples highlight ways in which facilities can use safety guardrail as a physical barrier to protect some of their most important assets: 1. The most efficient way to prevent injuries between lift truck and pedestrian traffic is to create defined travel lanes within the facility for each party. By separating motorized and foot traffic with safety guardrail, the likelihood of collision is greatly reduced. Additionally, unencumbered by slower moving pedestrians, lift trucks can move more quickly, increasing operational efficiency.

2. One of the most effective ways to protect personnel from machinery related injuries is by using industrial machine guards around equipment that could potentially cause bodily harm. By safely guiding the casual onlooker away from a potential hazard, trained personnel can work without distraction.

3. Floor mounted, steel rack protectors are a type of guardrail that can help mitigate the damage caused from a lift truck collision with a racking or shelving unit. In addition to increasing the

storage unit’s visibility, these specialized guards are designed to absorb the impact, reducing the potential for unit and product damage.

When installed correctly, guardrail systems help facilities achieve more than just compliance with OSHA’s regulations. These essential pieces of protective equipment can help facilities reduce downtime, cut workers’ compensation claims and lower insurance costs. Additionally, the strategic application of guardrail within a warehouse or distribution center can help companies achieve greater levels of protection for their employees and equipment. Companies looking to enhance their facility’s safety with guarding solutions should consider partnering with an experienced material handling solutions provider like Wildeck, Inc. Their knowledgeable and friendly staff can help companies protect the things that matter most.

Headquartered in Waukesha, WI, Wildeck is the largest manufacturer of structural steel mezzanine platforms, manual and automated vertical reciprocating conveyors (VRCs), rideable material lifts (RMLs) and safety guarding products in North America.
