As a safety professional, your role is crucial in ensuring the safety of workers and visitors in the workplace. One of the most critical measures in promoting safety is the installation of safety railings to prevent falls and protect individuals from harm. However, understanding the differences between the safety railing requirements set forth by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (CAL-OSHA) can be challenging. It is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of both sets of regulations to ensure that your workplace meets the necessary safety standards.
The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal-OSHA) has specific requirements for rooftop railing protection under its fall protection standards. Cal-OSHA requires that employers provide fall protection for employees who work at heights of 30 inches or more in general industry workplaces, and at six feet or more in construction workplaces.
It is crucial to ensure that the fall protection railing you choose has undergone testing and meets or exceeds the compliance standards. Keep in mind that OSHA and CAL-OSHA set only the minimum safety requirements. However, the good news is that Kee Guard Safety Railing, has undergone third-party testing and can be designed to exceed the minimum standards set by OSHA and CAL-OSHA.
