*Approved fall protection must be utilized while installing bases and guardrails where fall hazards exist.
Choosing Baseplate Type & Designing a Layout
1.
Install only on clean, dry, level
surfaces and determine if you will
be utilizing penetrating anchored
bases or non-penetrating weighted
bases.
2.
Determine the desired protection
layout before beginning the
installation process.
3.
All guardrail layouts must be
designed or approved by a
competent person.
4.
When using penetrating anchored
base plates, anchor bolt holes must
be no less than 6 inches from the
nearest edge.
5.
When using non-penetrating
weighted base plates, outrigger
returns are required at the end of
each protection run installed
perpendicular to the leading edge
hazard.
Note: All guardrail layouts must be designed or approved by a competent person.
