BEFORE INSTALLING GUARDRAIL SYSTEMS:
• The structure and surface that the G-Rail Guardrail System is intended to be used with must be capable of supporting
the product and personnel installing it. A complete assessment by a competent or qualified person must be made to
determine if the walking and working surfaces have the strength and structural integrity to support the system and the
users.
• Install Guardrail Systems on stable, flat, dry, clean surfaces under conditions where adequate illumination is provided.
If there is a danger in installing the Guardrail System, determine how to eliminate that danger before proceeding.
• Never install or use Guardrail Systems on top of gravel or on slippery surfaces. The weight of the base plates requires
that the material underneath does not have the capability to shift or slide.
• Never erect Guardrail Systems near electrical wires. Keep systems a minimum of ten (10) feet from power lines to
prevent injury or damage inherent with electrical hazards.
• Care should be taken when transporting system components to ensure that they are secure and do not cause damage to
other components or personnel.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS:
The following requirements outline the proper installation procedures to be followed.
BASE PLATE INSTALLATION:
• Install the BASE PLATE with the long side perpendicular or 90 degrees to
the guardrails.
• Position BASE PLATE bases at least 24” from an unprotected edge.
• DO NOT LEAN on any portion of the Guard Rail Systems AT ANY TIME.
• ALWAYS use Outriggers at both ends of any interruption in
continuous rail sections and at both ends of a continuous rail section.
An Outrigger is either a guard railing installed at a 90 degree angle to a
continuous run with a BASE PLATE connected to it.
•
The Guard Rail System is designed to meet OSHA regulations. Guard
Rail Systems are not designed for hoisting or tie off of any other
equipment or persons
.
