Roofguard Rooftop Guardrail

Our RoofGuard Classic Guardrail system is a non-penetrating system, designed to eliminate the potential hazard from rooftop falls. With simplicity in mind when developed, this rooftop guardrail system can be quickly and easily assembled and installed on most rooftops. In order to ensure a quick and easy installation, we designed RoofGuard with a modular design, thus allowing for a quick installation that requires no welding, drilling, or bolting into the actual roof structure.

Because our guardrail system utilizes a counter-weighted system, there is no cutting required into the existing rooftop surface, meaning RoofGuard’s safety guard railings have no direct or permanent attachments to your rooftop. RoofGuard can be reconfigured during installation in order to allow for it to work in almost any situation. Our professional engineers can visit your facility to ensure that you have the proper design for your rooftop around any hazardous areas. In many cases, this system can also be moved in order to cover different areas if work is periodic.

RoofGuard has been designed to meet or exceed all major North American safety standards/regulations including Ontario MOL requirements, ANSI, OSHA, Canadian OHS & WorkSafeBC.
