OSHA 1926.500-Subpart M requires guardrail and toeboard systems on all open-sided floors, platforms, runways, wall openings, holes, roofs, excavations, and machinery areas. Additionally, when equipment or materials are piled higher than the top edge of a standard toeboard, debris netting must be installed from the top rail to deck level to provide overhead protection for employees working below.
PearlWeave Safety Netting's accepted guardrail/toeboard system is designed to provide protection in excess of these standards for Personnel AND Debris. When properly installed from compliant required top-rail and secured directly to deck level, PearlWeave satisfies OSHA requirements for mid-rail and toeboard protection, for Personnel Fall Protection in addition to overhead protection against debris as defined above. Therefore, while acting as a high-end, visual and debris containment system, PearlWeave also meets/exceeds Subpart M regs for Personnel Fall Protection! It also meets/exceeds NFPA 701 AND ASTM E84 standards for Fire Retardency!
- Purchaser/user is solely responsible for the proper installation and "on the job" testing as may be required by local, state, or federal regulation. The system must be inspected personally by a qualified person. Since conditions of use are beyond our control, PearlWeave Safety Netting Corp. disclaims responsibility for results.
