Gargoyle Hatch Guardrail
A permanent freestanding guardrail system, which is non penetrating, and safely protects workers from falls through open rooftop hatches. Gargoyle Hatch Guardrail allows for our guardrail system to be integrated with virtually any rooftop opening. This system comes standard with a spring loaded gate, ensuring the gate always returns to the safe closed position. An optional fixed grab bar when exiting or entering the rooftop can be included as requested.
Custom sizes are available for non standard hatches or rooftop openings.
Injury incident
Accident Report Detail:
At approximately 11:20 a.m. on April 11, 2008, an employee sustained a fracture to his right leg when he fell through a roof opening designed for a roof hatch plan, 10-feet, 10-inches elevation, to the concrete floor below. The area was above the planned electrical room with a newly sheeted roof. The emergency medical services were called. Upon assessment of the employee’s condition by the paramedic, he was airlifted to Loma Linda University Medical Center, where he underwent surgery for fractured leg and in-patient hospitalization for a day.
