Commercial roofs require regular maintenance access. Without proper safety systems and traffic protection, your roof suffers unnecessary wear and tear, leading to premature failure and costly repairs.
Falls from roofs are the leading cause of death in construction. OSHA regulations require fall protection when working at heights of 6 feet or more. Protect your workers and your business with compliant safety systems.
Federal regulations mandate specific safety measures for commercial rooftops. We help you stay compliant and keep your workers safe.

OSHA Standard 1926.501 requires fall protection for any work performed at heights of 6 feet or more. For commercial rooftops, this means implementing proper safety systems to protect workers from falls.
Fall protection is required when working at heights of 6 feet or more above a lower level. This applies to roof edges, openings, and elevated work platforms.
OSHA accepts several methods of fall protection for rooftops:
Top rail must be 42 inches (±3 inches) high. Mid-rail at approximately 21 inches. Must withstand 200 pounds of force. Guardrails are preferred because they provide passive protection.
All holes and openings (including roof hatches and skylights) must be protected with covers, guardrails, or personal fall arrest systems to prevent worker falls.
OSHA violations for fall protection failures can result in citations ranging from $15,625 per violation for serious violations to $156,259 per violation for willful or repeated violations. Beyond financial penalties, you face potential lawsuits, increased insurance premiums, and project shutdowns.

We offer flexible installation methods designed to protect your roof membrane while providing maximum worker safety.
Most Popular Choice
Non-penetrating safety railings use weighted bases or clamps that attach to the roof edge without piercing the membrane. This preserves your roof warranty and prevents potential leak points.
Maximum Durability
Permanent safety railings are anchored directly into the roof structure or parapet walls, providing a fixed, long-term fall protection solution that's always ready when workers need roof access.
No two commercial roofs are identical. We design custom safety railing systems that address your specific roof layout, equipment placement, access points, and worker traffic patterns.
We evaluate your roof configuration, identify hazards, and determine optimal railing placement.
Railings can be custom-fabricated for unusual roof shapes, parapet conditions, or specific clearance requirements.
We can integrate railings with walk pads, access ladders, hatch guards, and equipment platforms for complete rooftop safety.

Get answers to the most common questions about rooftop safety railings and fall protection systems.
Safety railing costs vary based on several factors including roof size, perimeter length, installation type (permanent vs. non-penetrating), and material choice. Non-penetrating systems typically range from $100-$300 per linear foot installed, while permanent systems range from $150-$400+ per linear foot. We provide free site assessments and detailed quotes tailored to your specific needs and budget.
Non-penetrating safety railing systems do not void roof warranties because they don't penetrate the membrane. Permanent railings that require roof penetrations can be installed without voiding your warranty if done correctly by qualified professionals who properly flash and seal all penetrations. We coordinate with roof manufacturers to ensure compliance with warranty requirements.
Installation timeframes depend on the system type and roof size:
We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your operations and can often schedule work during off-hours if needed.
Not necessarily. OSHA requires fall protection where workers are exposed to falls of 6 feet or more. You may only need railings in areas where workers regularly access the roof or perform maintenance. During our site assessment, we identify required protection zones based on your specific work activities, access points, and equipment locations. Strategic railing placement can provide full OSHA compliance while managing costs effectively.
Safety railings require minimal maintenance but should be inspected regularly:
We offer maintenance and inspection services to keep your systems compliant and in excellent condition.
