A Kick Plate, (aka Toe Plate or Toeboard) is required by OSHA when work is performed around a railing system and there is the possibility of workers below that working surface. The Kick Plate prevents tools and other objects from being accidentally kicked through the opening onto the personnel below.
The Type 69 Railing Flange, included with Kick Plate, is designed with bolt holes to attach to the Kick Plate. The Kick Plate is extruded aluminum with slots for the bolt heads. The bolt heads slide into the slots with the bolt extending through the Type 69 Flange holes. The bolts are then tightened to secure the plate. For OSHA compliance, the Toe Plates are 4" high. Stainless steel mounting hardware is included.
