Safety railings are an important aspect of property management. If you live in a neighborhood or condominium complex you should be aware of the safety regulations concerning these installations. You should know what to do if a resident becomes injured or falls from the roof. In most states it is against the law to operate a ladder or use an open top roof like a carton, barrel, or hot dog cart without the proper fall protection equipment installed. The regulations for fall protection are based on the size and weight of the individual and how much he or she can safely pull up or roll down the ladder. Today, having a safety guardrail on the roof can save you from accidents.


There are many types of safety railings for multi-story dwellings or apartment buildings. They come in various materials and styles. Aluminum, wooden, concrete and wrought iron are all available for guard rail systems that provide fall protection to your roof. The type of material you choose should be chosen to match the aesthetic appeal of your home. Wood and aluminum are more attractive, but concrete is a better option for longevity and looks.


One of the reasons people don't install a guard rail system on their roofs is liability. This may be a valid reason, but remember this; even if you're just cleaning gutters, you have exposure to falling debris, wind, snow, ice particles, and falling objects. A good roofing contractor will know more about your particular roof and how to protect you when you're there. Installing a safety railing system can be an economical choice and can also improve the aesthetic appearance of your home.


Installing a roof safety railings system gives you peace of mind knowing that your property is safe from falling debris. The guard rail system protects the residents of your building from falling objects such as bricks, tiles, and shingles. It's also a good idea to install one of these systems around any outside water source like a pool. In addition, adding a roof safety system to your home will help you protect your family from predators and improve the look of your yard.


If your home has a walking-working surface, installing a guardrail system on top of it will also add additional protection and prevent accidents from occurring. Walkways and porches are susceptible to accidents due to small children, pets and skateboarders. Installing walkway guardrail systems will help keep small children out of harm's way while also adding an extra measure of fall protection systems. Porches and decks that have railings installed also offer an extra measure of safety in and out of the house.


In addition to guardrail system fixtures, there are many other less expensive options that you can choose from to provide added safety to your home. For example, there are deck handrails that you can add to your existing walkways and porches. These handrail options are removable and add a fun and stylish way to dress up your deck. Also, if you like the look of an iron handrail but do not want to spend the money on an iron railing, there are several plastic, chrome or brass alternatives that can be purchased and installed in a few minutes. 

Remember, when it comes to safety and fall protection, the best safety measures are a combination of guardrails and other less expensive, decorative and practical additions to your home.
