3M™ DBI-SALA® FlexiGuard™ Portable Guardrail System

Traditional fall protection is represented by a worker using a PFAS (Personal Fall Arrest System) – full body harness connected to an anchor point with a lanyard. PFAS are actually one of the later choices in a comprehensive fall protection program. The first step should be an attempt to eliminate fall hazards altogether. This may be accomplished with a modification to the job description, work process and/or work area to eliminate the need to work at height. The next step is to use fall prevention systems such as DBI-SALA’s FlexiGuard™ Portable Construction Guardrail system. This system acts as a barrier that prevents personnel from falling to lower levels, thus eliminating the fall hazard. Used properly, systems like this protect the greatest number of employees with little or no training, no special maintenance and no special gear.
