DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT:
G-Rail Guardrail System provides fall protection in the form of a guardrail for use in lieu of or in conjunction with satety netting and or personal fall arrest systems.
Components are powder coated (rails), or galvanized (base plates) for durability.
PRODUCT APPLICATION INFORMATION:
The G-Rail Guardrail system is designed to be used as a fall protection system to protect workers from leading edge work, unprotected side hazards, holes, and any
applicable other fall through or fall hazard where a passive guardrail system can perform properly. Do not hang, lift or support tools or equipment from any G-Rail
Guardrail System components.
• GUARDRAIL SYSTEMS: Provide protection and limited access to fall hazards by creating a barrier that must be negotiated
before accessing the hazard.
• PERSONAL FALL ARREST: Means the product is used as a component of a personal fall arrest system to protect the user
in the event of a fall. PFAS typically include a full body harness and a connecting component (energy absorbing lanyard).
Maximum permissible free fall is six feet. G-Rail Systems ARE NOT RATED FOR FALL ARREST!
• RESTRAINT: Means the product is used as a component of a restraint system to prevent the user from reaching a fall hazard.
Restraint systems typically include a full body harness and a lanyard or restraint line. No vertical free fall is permitted. G-Rail
Systems ARE NOT RATED FOR FALL RESTRAINT!
• WORK POSITIONING: Means the product is used as a component of a work positioning system to support the user at a
work position. Work positioning systems typically include a full body harness, positioning lanyard, and a back-up personal fall
arrest system. Maximum permissible free fall is two feet. G-Rail Systems ARE NOT RATED FOR WORK
POSITIONING!
• RESCUE: This product IS NOT RATED for use as a component of a rescue system.
APPLICABLE STANDARDS:
Refer to potential applicable standards. Standards might include OSHA regulations depending on the type of work, and also might
include state regulations if applicable. Consult regulatory agencies for more information on personal fall arrest systems and associated
components.
• G-Rail Guardrail Systems, when installed properly, meet OSHA 29 CFR-1910.23 & 1926.502

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
• Compatibility of Components: Guardian Fall Protection equipment is designed to be used with Guardian approved
components. Please contact Guardian if you have a question regarding compatibility. Making substitutions without approval
from Guardian Fall Protection may lead to injuries and or death by compromising the safety and reliability of the complete
system.
