It goes without saying that a manufacturer of steel products has a lot of hazardous areas on site. In this case, they identified the falling risk created by this raised concrete platform, which workers frequently access to inspect and maintain the production machinery. The company decided they needed Tru-Gard™ Hand Rail System to provide safety for people who work on this platform, often looking up rather than down, so being at risk of accidently falling off the side.
This is a custom version of our standard Tru-Gard™ Hand Rail System, with three railings fixed to side-mounted support posts, plus a toe-board to prevent a person’s feet slipping through and over the edge. The added bonus of the toe board is that it can catch tools or other items that might accidentally fall or be kicked off the edge during normal work activity.
