The SafetyRail2000 Architectural Series is a passive fall protection guard rail system that provides an OSHA-compliant roof safety rail with a pleasing architectural style. It combines the non-penetrating guard rail system with architectural appeal for applications where railing appearance is important, such as “green” roofs.

Rail sections are constructed of 1.25” SCH 40 galvanized pipe. The rails secure to 96-pound cast iron bases that have four ports each, allowing the rails to be configured in infinite positions. When the bases are installed in a run with a 90° return on each end, the combined mass and geometry of the installation creates an OSHA compliant barrier for roof edge protection.

The Architectural Series is a roof safety rail system that requires no penetration to the roof surface when installed. Because they’re anchored with weighted baseplates rather than bolted to the roof, Safety Rail 2000 ballasted guard rails can be used as portable, permanent, or temporary roof edge protection solutions.

Whether the danger side run is 5’ or 1000’ in length, these outriggers must be in place at the beginning and at the end of the run. Outriggers are standard rail sections that are connected at approximately 90° to the danger side run of each end rail section.
