StrapRail^® complies with:

US Federal OSHA Standard 1926.502 “Fall Protection” – click here for more information
Cal/OSHA (horizontal load of 20 pounds per lineal foot at the top rail)
Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act, REGULATION 213/91 FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS Section 26.3(5) (point load of 150 pounds applied to every 8 feet of guardrail at the top rail equivalent to 19 lb per linear foot)
Quebec’s CNESST Safety Code for the Construction Industry, chapter S-2.1, r.4, 3.8.2, et 3.8.3

Other guardrails:

Removable steel guardrails are heavy to handle and require lots of storage space
They can be impossible to install in outdoor winter conditions, when the floor mounted receptacles or sockets become filled with ice or snow.
Wire rope guardrails are often slack which allows the top rail wire to deflect below the OSHA minimum height of 39″

StrapRail®

An installed StrapRail^® System is under constant self-test with considerable and continuous tension applied to the straps & anchors
The fully tensioned state proves the anchors have been correctly installed & that the railing is safe for use
No other temporary guardrail system offers this self test benefit
Workers can be confident that a fall will be arrested by a properly installed guardrail, given the incredible strength of the webbing straps (20,000 lb MBS each).
StrapRail^® is fully engineered, lightweight & reusable for many years
It is compact and easily transportable or shipped
