Safety Railing

First Place Supply is proud to carry KeeGuard safety railing components and safety railing kits. KeeGuard System Safety Railings provide permanent and free-standing durable edge protection, including rooftop railings designed to keep workers safe on the job.

A safety railing is a barrier designed to prevent workers from falling off a raised platform or edge. Made from sturdy materials like steel and aluminum, a safety railing is installed along the edge of a platform or other area where there is risk of falling in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, rooftops, and other elevated workspaces. They are designed to be sturdy and durable, able to withstand the rigors of a construction site environment.

Benefits of a Safety Railing

Fall Prevention: Prevent falls from heights, which can be a common cause of serious accidents and injuries on construction sites.
Act as a Barrier: Provide a physical barrier between workers and potential fall hazards, which can increase the overall safety of the work environment.
Improve Safety of the Workplace: Help workers feel more secure and confident while working at heights, which can improve their performance and productivity.
Protect Against Falling Equipment: Prevent materials and equipment from falling off a work platform and potentially causing injuries or damage.
Abide by Compliance Regulations: Ensure compliance with safety worksite regulations and standards.

A safety railing should be used by any worker who is at risk of falling from an elevated area or into a hazardous area. This can include construction workers, factory workers, warehouse workers, and others who work at heights or in areas where there are potential fall hazards. Fall protection equipment is an important part of a comprehensive safety program, and all workers who are at risk of falling should be trained on how to use safety railings and other fall protection equipment properly.
