Frequently Asked Questions

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

RoofGuard Guardrail Systems have been tested to meet or exceed American (OSHA), Canadian (CCOHS) and Provincial (OHSA in Ontario, and each equivalent in other provinces) safety regulations. They have also been tested to meet or exceed the engineering standards created by CSA and ANSI.

Both active and passive fall protection are effective in protecting workers from falling. However, while active protection requires involvement from the worker, passive systems can keep people safe regardless of training level and awareness of a hazard.

Active fall protection are known as Personal Fall Arrest Systems (PFAS), such as body harnesses, lanyards, and anchor points. Passive fall protection, alternatively, are physical barriers or systems, such as guardrails and safety nets, that prevent workers from falling or catch them if they do fall.

Passive solutions are always preferred to active ones. They represent engineering controls that keep people safe regardless of training level and awareness of a hazard.

Roofguard is incredibly simple to install and can be easily installed by an inexperienced worker with simple hand tools and our instructions. Each system has labels that contain a QR code linking to a series of videos showing exactly how to install it for maximum time savings. 

Each RoofGuard system comes with a stamped engineering drawing back by the in-house engineering team at Liftsafe Fall Protection.

While every system is different, at times the initial costs of guardrail can be slightly more compared to horizontal lifeline systems. However, you also need to consider the costs of certifying employees for working at heights (every three years), anchor point inspections (annually), lanyard and harness costs and inspections (annually), recordkeeping (ongoing), a rescue plan, and other related costs. When you take these into account, the overall cost of an installed guardrail system is much lower when compared to horizontal lifeline systems. 

There is also the amount of time and resources that must be devoted to making sure these are all adhered to. Whereas, a guardrail system can be set up once and you are instantly compliant.

Yes. RoofGuard Guardrail Systems are typically made of aluminum, which ensure durability in diverse weather conditions. They are designed to be protected from corrosion, rust and other environmental factors, and its components contribute to resistance to environmental wear and tear.

The RoofGuard Guardrail System is a modular, non-penetrating system designed to eliminate the potential hazard of falls over unprotected edges on a rooftop or elevated surface. It is counter weighted, which means it requires no welding, drilling, or bolting into the actual roof structure, and is designed to rest on top of it while still meeting lateral force requirements set out in the appropriate standards and laws. 

Yes. RoofGuard comes standard as an aluminum system that is grey but some clients prefer it to be painted safety yellow. This is done in-house with a powder coated paint that is weather resistant.

No. RoofGuard must not be used as an anchor. This is stated explicitly in the RoofGuard installation manual among other safety requirements.

Yes. This depends on how steep the slope is for standard systems (it must meet the standards and regulations for sloped roofs). However, custom systems are available for multiple applications including sloped roofs.

The Hierarchy of Fall Protection Solutions

Elimination of Hazards

  • Whenever possible, remove the fall hazard itself.
  • If there is no fall hazard, there’s no fall.

Passive Systems

  • Do not require the use of Personal Protective Equipment or active participation from the worker.
  • Include Guardrails or Netting Systems.
  • A preferred choice for its ease of use without the need for additional training and PPE.

Fall Restraint

  • Uses personal fall arrest equipment (harness, lanyard, a. anchor point) to stop the user from reaching the edge.
  • This type of ttying-offi p the user from falling in the first place.

Fall Arrest

  • When all other solutions are infeasible.
  • Fall arrest uses the same equipment as fall restraint but the fall protection equipment engages after the fall happens
  • When it engages, the equipment slows the workers descent, bringing them to a safe stop.
