Frequently Asked Questions
When is fall protection required?
Employers must provide protection to prevent employees from falling. According to Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) laws, any surface 3 metres (10 feet) above another level requires fall protection. In most cases, fall protection is required when:
- other means of fall protection are not available or possible, such as guardrails
- working at a height of 3 metres or more (permanent and/or temporary work areas)
- working at a height of less than 3 metres when the surface below could cause a greater injury than just the fall (e.g., machinery; risk of drowning in water or other liquid; open tanks, vats, or pits containing hazardous materials; materials that can shift)
- a worker may fall through an opening in the work surface
- it is determined that fall protection is necessary
What is a warning line?
A warning line is a barrier such as rope, wire, or chain that warns workers they are approaching an unprotected edge of a roof, floor, or other work surface. RoofGuard Warning Lines include brightly coloured flags to mark off where the line is.
When are warning lines required?
Warning line systems are designed for accessing areas of a flat rooftop that are nearing the roof edge (but not within 2m) to provide a visual warning to workers that are approaching a hazard.

Do warning lines integrate with guardrail systems?
Yes. Warning lines will integrate with each applicable RoofGuard System to create fully compliant elevated areas for workers who are working at heights.
Do RoofGuard Warning Lines require drilled holes?
No. RoofGuard Warning Lines have been designed to be freestanding and require no rooftop penetration.
Can warning lines be used on a sloped roof?
Warning lines can only be used on a low sloped roof. There are also specific requirements for the type of work being performed on the roof.
