Fall Protection Safety Gates and Safety Rails - Magid
Fall protection is important in any occupation that requires working at heights. In the construction industry, employee falls are the leading cause of fatal injuries and account for nearly a quarter of non-fatal injuries according to published data. Use job site safety gates and rails from Magid® to lower the chances of dangerous accidents. These gates increase safety for shipyards, roofing, road work, industrial factories, and other occupations as well as construction sites.
Fall Prevention vs. Fall Arrest
Safety rails are what is known as a fall prevention system. This differs in two ways from lanyards and self-retracting lifelines, which are fall arrest or fall restraint systems. A safety gate or rail is designed to keep falls from happening by protecting the site parameter. They are passive fixed systems that don’t require any additional worker interaction once they are installed. In some cases, they reduce or eliminate the need for other PPE.
Conversely, fall arrest systems will break a fall once it has already started. These active systems move around with the worker and often require additional equipment. Either or both may be appropriate depending on the job site and its demands. A Magid® safety specialist can help you determine what your organization needs.
