Top 10 Fun Facts About Guardrail Systems and Height Safety

1. First safety law for working at heights:
The first regulations for height safety were introduced during the 19th century Industrial Revolution.

2. Average load capacity:

A modern guardrail system can withstand a force of up to 200 pounds (approximately 90 kg) without deformation.

3. Origins of guardrails:

Though now essential for safety, guardrails only became widely used in construction in the mid-20th century.

4. Most common materials:

Aluminum and galvanized steel are preferred for their corrosion resistance and low maintenance.

5. Regulatory compliance:

In Canada and the U.S., guardrails must meet OSHA and CSA standards for safety assurance.

6. Passive vs. active safety:

Guardrail systems are considered passive protection, requiring no action from the worker to stay safe.

7. Green roofs and guardrails:

For eco-friendly projects like green roofs, non-penetrating guardrails are ideal to protect waterproof membranes.

8. Exceptional durability:

A high-quality guardrail can last over 20 years with minimal maintenance, even in extreme weather.

9. Productivity boost:

Studies show that safe environments increase worker productivity by up to 12%.

10. Innovative designs:
Modular systems allow guardrails to integrate with other safety elements, such as work platforms and stairs.
