According to the Occupation Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), falls from heights greater than 6 feet are the leading cause of fatalities in the construction industry. Workers in construction incurred the most fatalities (nearly 20%) of any industry in the private sector in 2008.

OSHA standards require the use of a guardrail system, a safety net system or a personal fall arrest system whenever employees are exposed to a fall of 6 feet or more above a lower level. OSHA suggests that “it is better to use fall prevention systems, such as guardrails, than fall protection systems, such as safety nets or fall arrest devices, because they provide more positive safety means.”

Our company sets the industry standard for rooftop fall prevention. The Horizontal Under-eave Guardrail System (HUGS) is a passive fall prevention safety system that accommodates most wood or metal trusses. HUGS are easy to install, easy to remove, re-usable and is designed to provide 360 degree fall prevention from the beginning of the sheathing process through completion of the roofing process.

Our system provides continuous protection on single and multiple level roofs where workers risk life and limb performing various tasks such as house wrapping, window, siding, soffit installation, lathing, stucco, painting and cleaning operations. Our system is also the only roof mounted safety railing system that allows an uninterrupted re-roofing process.

Other products are either too costly or designed in such a manner that only allows part time roof top protection. Systems with rooftop attachments will not allow for the roof finish to be applied without its removal. Our products stand alone in cost effectiveness and provide the ultimate in rooftop fall prevention for your safety and peace of mind.
