Are Tennessee Roofing and Construction safety railings OSHA compliant?

Yes, all of our rooftop railings are OSHA compliant. OSHA’s requirements for guardrails can be summarized by ensuring that:

  • The top rail is 42″ tall from the walking surface.
  • The middle rail is halfway between the top rail and the walking surface.
  • The rail can withstand a 200 lb. force in a downward or outward direction.

With each rooftop, we follow these guidelines and follow any manufacturer’s installation instructions.
