Rooftop Fall Protection for Campuses
Safer access on tight rooftops
Educational buildings often have small or unusual rooftop footprints, especially on older or historic structures where mechanical equipment is packed into limited space.
Dakota Safety provides portable and non-penetrating guardrails for passive fall protection that can be installed easily and moved between work areas as needed.
Protection that fits campus aesthetics
We can provide rooftop guardrails with custom paint to match school color schemes, along with architectural guardrail systems for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
StealthRail guardrails can also fold flat when not in use for a cleaner visual look.
Guardrails for demanding applications
All Dakota Safety guardrails are compliant with OSHA fall protection 1910 and rated for up to 200 lb. structural loads.
When needed, the D300 Series can be provided for projects requiring a 300 lb. rating, offering a 50% safety factor over OSHA guidelines.
Additional rooftop safety support
Dakota Safety also offers access ladders with safety cages for safer climbing to rooftops and elevated areas.
Visual warning line systems are available to mark changes in roof elevation and alert personnel to potential fall hazards.
