GR37 In-Line Configuration
Situation Overview
To enhance rooftop safety on a site with multiple elevations and unprotected edges, the GR37 In-Line guardrail system was installed. This space-saving configuration provides a highly visible, OSHA-compliant barrier that protects workers from hidden drop-offs.
The Challenge: A Roof with Hidden Hazards
On this commercial rooftop, workers faced multiple safety risks due to varying roof elevations and unprotected edges. The lack of clear visual distinction between levels increased the likelihood of missteps, and some sections had no parapet or drip edge, leaving an exposed drop-off. To ensure compliance and safety, a guardrail system was needed that provided full protection
The Solution: GR37 In-Line Configuration
The GR37 In-Line guardrail was chosen for its space-saving design, which allows for installation close to the roof edge without compromising safety. This configuration was powder-coated yellow for high visibility, ensuring workers could easily identify roof boundaries. Additionally, the system was installed across multiple elevations, creating a continuous safety barrier that clearly defines access areas and prevents accidental falls.
The Outcome: Safety Without Compromise
With the GR37 In-Line system in place, this rooftop is now fully protected without sacrificing valuable space. The bold yellow powder-coated finish enhances visibility, while the modular design ensures easy installation and adaptability. By addressing the challenges of hidden elevation changes and exposed edges, this project demonstrates how GR37 In-Line provides an efficient, compliant, and practical safety solution for complex rooftop environments.
