Warning line systems protect workers. These systems, which surround work areas on rooftops, provide a clear signal that workers are nearing a hazardous or unprotected side or edge. Along with defining unsafe rooftop areas, warning lines also alert professionals to zones where they can work without safety nets, harnesses or guardrails. Warning lines do not provide any physical restraint and only serve as a visual reminder on unprotected rooftop areas.
System Overview
The WL31 roof safety line is Kattsafe's warning line system for metal roofs. System details are as follows:
You can mount the line with self-sealing rivets and non-penetrating seam clamps.
Either mounting option complies with OSHA standards and offers high visual awareness to ensure that people remain at a safe distance from potential fall hazards.
We carry aluminum bases for standing seam roofs and metal decks for compatibility with various roof profiles. You can fasten the line every 15 to 30 feet via poles linked by stainless steel cables with plastic coating. Danger pennants made from aluminum increase visibility in 6-foot increments.
WL31 is a modular system, so components can be arranged in multiple configurations. You can customize this warning line product to fit your job site's requirements.

Benefits of Installing a Customizable Roof Warning Line System From Kattsafe
Roof safety lines warn workers of areas where falling is a risk, but the system will not prevent them from falling. Therefore, roof warning lines work best as part of a comprehensive fall protection system. Warning line systems installed in hazardous areas on your rooftop offer the following benefits:
They create a permanent roof warning line: OSHA defines a warning line as a system that includes high-visibility material and has marks at six-foot intervals. These features help workers clearly see the areas they need to keep a safe distance from. For example, you can install aluminum roof guardrail systems for continuous fall protection closer to the roof edge.
They provide a conspicuous visual warning of a fall hazard: The aluminum posts are positioned every 15 to 30 feet and connected with a plastic-coated stainless-steel cable with aluminum danger pennants every 6 feet. These specifications meet OSHA 29 CFR 1910.28(b)(13)(ii) for fall protection at construction sites.
They keep workers safe: Roof warning line systems help workers stay vigilant when working on walking or working surfaces. The warning line indicates an unprotected roof edge or hole is nearby, so workers know to avoid those hazards.
The systems are cost-effective: Warning line systems use less material than other types of fall protection products, making them a cost-effective option.
