Are roof railings required?
Because OSHA Standard 29CRF.1926.502 states that any working surface more than six feet off the ground requires fall protection, we recommend railings or parapet walls on all roof surfaces that will be used for training. Remember, not all railings are alike, WHP utilizes OSHA approved railings with toe plates, providing protection for both those on the roof and those below. We use welded schedule 40 railing and structural steel angles. Our engineers can design railings to meet any local code requirements.
