Guardrails - basic roof fall protection system
The guardrails belong to the basic and also best working roof fall protection systems. Unlike the arresting safety systems, they try to prevent roofers from falling down from the roof (not to catch them after they fall already). Guard rail systems are often used for the flat roofs.
How do the guard rails work
Guard rails are vertical (or little inclined, up to 15 degrees) safety constructions monted directly in the protection zone (means right onto the working level of the roof surface, near from the roof edge). Usually the system consists of the vertcal and horizontal safety rods, safety meshes, screens or midrails and anchorage...

Therefor, it is essential for the roofers to keep the strict fall protection standards, rules of working in the height and use as many fall protection tools as possible.

This is nothing for the do-it-yourself roofers working on the roof just 2 or 3 times in a decade, but if you are a proffesional rofer you should apply for the fall protection training.
On such tra...
