We’re looking for some success stories and other testimonials from our Roofing Professional Customers. If you can send us why you love our products or an instance where they really helped and we use it on our website; we’ll send you $1,000 worth of our products (your choice). Please email info@acrobuildingsystems.com or simply post a comment on this Blog. We want to hear if our Guardrail Systems have saved you money by letting your employees work more efficiently. If your MOD (Workers Comp Experience Modifier) has gone down from using guardrails instead of harnesses. If our roof ridge ladder hook or chicken ladder system has help you to reach difficult places or eased any jobs (I know my ladder hook has saved my life twice). If you believe your safety is worth American quality as we do we want to hear about it.

Please fill out the survey below to be entered into a drawing with participants from the 2016 International Roofing Expo to be one of 10 winners for a free box of roof brackets of your choice. Recently we’ve been making custom roof brackets with additional “Tear-Drop” or “Key-Hole” holes for a few distributors on the east coast and are curious if that is something our customers throughout the rest of the country would be interested in having. Please contact us at info@acrobuildingsystems.com or fill out the survey below.

It is our interpretation of the OSHA regulations that the Toeboard is not an integral part of a guardrail for fall protection purposes on Low Slope Edges but is required for Openings and Steep Slope Edges. We believe Toeboards are essential for protection of falling material if the area where potential falling material is not access limited. Please see the cited specs below and please let us know if you have heard of it interpreted differently. 1910.23(a)(8) Every floor hole into which persons can accidentally walk shall be guarded by … A standard railing with standard toeboard on all exposed sides, 1910.23(b) Every wall opening from which there is a drop of more than 4 feet shall be guarded by… Rail, roller, picket fence, half door, or equivalent barrier. Where there is exposure below to falling materials, a removable toe board or the equivalent shall also be provided. 1910.23(c) Every open-sided floor or platform … shall be guarded by a standard railing … on all open sides… The railing shall be provided with a toeboard wherever, beneath the open sides, 1910.23(c)(1)(i) Persons can pass, 1910.23(c)(1)(ii) There is moving machinery, or 1910.23(c)(1)(iii) There is equipment with which falling materials could create a hazard. 1910.23(e) “Railing, toe boards, and cover specifications.” 1910.23(e)(4) A standard toeboard shall be 4 inches nominal in vertical height from its top edge to the level of the floor, platform, runway, or ramp. It shall be securely fastened in place and with not more than 1/4-inch clearance above floor level. It may be made of any substantial material either solid or with openings not over 1 inch in greatest dimension. 1926.501(b)(11) “Steep roofs.” Each employee on a steep roof with unprotected sides and edges 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above lower levels shall be protected from falling by guardrail systems with toeboards, safety net systems, or personal fall arrest systems. So, we would interpret this to mean that if the work area underneath the guardrail is roped off and does not contain operating equipment Toeboards would not be necessary on Low Slope Edges. These are only the Federal OSHA regulations and we would love to hear about other interpretations or State Safety Organizations that have different regulations. That being said, all of our Guardrail Systems have fasteners for toeboards; and we encourage their usage when needed.
