4.0 ROOFTOP GUARDRAIL
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
4.0-A The HatchGuard Standard System is designed to be used
on hatches with a lid opening of up to 36” square or smaller. For
larger hatch openings a custom kit can be provided. The roof
around the hatch must be relatively flat, and the hatch must be at
least 4-feet from the roof edge to allow the system to fit between
the hatch and the roof edge, and keep the worker back 6-feet from
the roof edge at all times. If the hatch is near the roof edge, the
gate should also open away from the roof edge. See 12.0 Appendix
Diagram 1
4.0-B RoofGuard Kit RGC-KIT-09 is designed to provide protection
along 9-feet of roof edge. The ends of the system (tiebacks) should
not be placed within 6-feet of another perpendicular roof edge
(corner) as this would require another “leading edge” protection
section (see RGC-KIT-09). See 12.0 Appendix Diagram 2
4.0-C RoofGuard Kit RGC-KIT-18V is designed to provide protection
along 18-feet of roof edge. The ends of the system (tiebacks)
should not be placed within 6-feet of another perpendicular
roof edge (corner) as this would require another “leading edge”
protection section (see RGC-KIT-09). The kit has variable angle
fitting in the center and can be used to fit onto a corner between
90 and 180 degrees or cover an 18-foot straight edge of roof edge.
See 12.0 Appendix Diagram 3
4.0-D RoofGuard Kit RGC-KIT-27V is designed to provide protection
along 27-feet of roof edge. The ends of the system (tiebacks)
should not be placed within 6-feet of another perpendicular
roof edge (corner) as this would require another “leading edge”
protection section (see RGC-KIT-09). The kit has variable angle
fittings at the center two posts and can be used to fit up to two
corners between 90 and 180 degrees or cover a 27-foot straight
edge of roof. See 12.0 Appendix Diagram 4
