Danone S.A., a multinational food-products corporation headquartered in Paris, France contacted Safety Rail Source to assist in providing rooftop fall protection for its United States facilities. Safety Rail Source® surveyed 13 roofs and developed a comprehensive fall protection program that included more than 3,500 linear feet of NextGen 3000® freestanding roof edge railing, 2 pyramid skylight railings, 15 corrugated skylight screens and numerous self-closing gates.

To bring this manufacturing plant into OSHA compliance, the EH&S Manager contacted Safety Rail Source for its expertise to recommend, supply and install proper fall protection solutions. Through on-site visits, satellite images and many discussions with both teams, Safety Rail Source designed, delivered and installed the most cost-effective solution.
JEA needed OSHA compliant roof edge fall protection railing on one of its buildings. The first challenge was to provide a system that would withstand the corrosive environment of the Water Treatment Plant and its deteriorating effect on metal railing. The second challenge was the need to install a free-standing, non-penetrating railing system that would not break the roof membrane.
JEA needed OSHA compliant roof edge fall protection railing to protect HVAC workers. There were 3 areas of concern. The first was that the HVAC equipment was less than 15’ from the roof edge. The second challenge was the corrosive environment and its deteriorating effect on metal railing. The third challenge was the desire to install a free-standing, non-penetrating railing system.
At a Wells Fargo Branch Bank in Lakeland FL, the Pneumatic Tube Delivery System manifold was located on top of the drive-in roof. To service the system, a technician had to place a ladder against the parapet, climb the ladder, stand on the parapet and step down to an exposed roof beam more than 30” below the top of the parapet.
To enable the X43 Machinery Installation Department shipbuilders to work around advanced weapons elevators, fall protection is required to guard the deck openings. In the past, X43 shipbuilders relied on X11 fitters to install, and uninstall temporary stanchions which meant X43 shipbuilders would expend time coordinating an available X11 crew.
