PFAS are actually one of the later choices in a comprehensive fall protection program. Your first step should be trying to eliminate the fall hazard altogether. This may be accomplished with a modification to the job description, work process and/or work area to eliminate the need to work at height. The next step is to use fall prevention systems such as DBI/SALA’s Portable Guard Rail system. This system acts as a barrier that prevents personnel from falling to lower levels, thus eliminating the fall hazard. Where suitable, they protect the greatest number of employees with little or no training, no special maintenance and no special gear. Provides Versatility and Jobsite Flexibility Whether you are setting up the guardrail around the perimeter of a roof or closing off a wall opening, the system will prevent personnel from falling to the lower level. The system can be used for unprotected roof edges, floor hatchways or chutes, leading edge, around skylites, truck or rail docks, floor or wall openings, wells, pits, shafts, manholes and more. Ease-of-Installation Once the bases are located in the proper position, insert the guardrail sections into the base plate’s fitting and torque the set screws. The set screw design offers added stability and no “wobble” typically associated with pinned designs. Installation is quick and easy with no special tools required.
