Guardrail systems provide simple and easy-to-use leading edge fall protection for a variety of applications, including rooftops, mezzanines, stairs, access platforms, gangways, and loading docks just to name a few. From free-standing safety railing systems to permanent installations, DFP guardrail can keep your employees safe and your facility in compliance with all OSHA fall protection regulations.

Guardrail has a number of advantages when compared to other forms of fall protection.  Guardrail is often less expensive than an engineered fall arrest system, and installation is fast and easy.  Guardrail is also easy to use.  Unlike other forms of fall protection that require workers to wear body harnesses and connect to the system via a SRL or shock absorbing lanyard, your workers are protected from the moment they set foot on your roof.  What’s more, you’ll save on training and annual re-certification costs too.  Speaking of savings–we manufacture all of the guardrail used in our installations, delivering exceptional value to our clients.  Whether you need portable guardrail for a rooftop application, or a permanently attached guardrail system, the safety experts at Diversified can recommend a safety railing system to meet your needs and budget.
