 Roof railings as fall protection: the right choice in many cases

A standard-compliant fall protection system is mandatory for fall heights of 3 metres or more. However, even falls from lower heights can result in life-threatening injuries. We therefore recommend installing a professional fall protection system using a roof guardrail in the outdoor area of your flat roof. The experts at INNOTECH are guaranteed to find a solution that is perfectly suited to your flat roof:

We fix the roof railing either superimposed load by concrete weights on the outriggers (e.g. with BARRIER-VARIO) or by the net weight of your green roof (BARRIER-FLEECE) if you do not want it to be pierced. It is also possible to mount the roof guardrail directly on the parapet of your roof, if it has one (BARRIER-ATTIKA).

If your roof has special areas such as skylights or solar panels that require extra protection, we are happy to take on this challenge and install suitable roof railing systems.

Roof guardrails can also be installed on existing buildings as a retrofit. Various installation options are available, depending on the structural integrity of the building and the specifications of your roof. Each roof railing can be installed at an angle of inclination of 75 to 90 degrees.

Challenges on flat roofs

Skylights and strip lights: They provide light inside buildings, but at the same time pose a great danger to people who walk on the roof. Skylights and strip lights are made of plastic and, unless they are reinforced models, are not fall-through or fall-through-proof. Although we offer LIGHT-FLEX, a fall-through protection system for skylights, we still recommend the additional use of roof guardrails to prevent falls in this specific outdoor area. This makes it impossible to enter the danger zone in the first place.

Weather: Snow and wet conditions increase the risk of slipping. It is therefore particularly important to prevent falls at the edge of the roof. A roof railing reliably eliminates the risk of falling for anyone who goes onto the roof surface. Its installation protects lives and also saves costs, as there is no need for additional PPE.

Strong winds: Extreme weather conditions pose a particular challenge for roof guardrails – and this includes strong winds. If your company is located in an area known for particularly strong gusts of wind, you must not underestimate the wind load acting on the roof railing! However, INNOTECH can help even in this situation: our experts reduce the distance between supports and increase the ballast to prevent tipping.

FAQs – frequently asked questions

When is fall protection mandatory?

Fall protection is mandatory on flat roofs with a height of 3 metres or more. This is the only way to ensure that servicing, inspection or cleaning work can be carried out safely.

How high does a roof railing have to be?

There is no simple answer to this question. The height of the railing depends on the area of application, the country and the regulations applicable there.

How is the railing installed?

We often fix the railing on the booms by means of a superimposed load provided by concrete weights. However, for roofs with gravel fillings or green roofs, we also use the net weight of the gravel or plant cover for fastening, as this means that the roof does not have to be pierced. In addition, it is possible to attach the railing to the parapet of your roof. We select the exact type of installation that best suits the conditions on your roof.

Do I need personal protective equipment in addition to the railing?

No, a railing on your roof is sufficient for fall protection. The collective protective measure secures all people on the flat roof at the same time, which makes the additional use of personal protective equipment (PPE) obsolete.

Can the existing wind load affect the railing?

Yes, wind speeds must be taken into account during planning! Regions with strong winds in particular require certain steps to be taken by INNOTECH professionals to ensure that the roof railing is securely fixed in place.
