Recently Ideal Shield was presented with a situation where employees were working on a roof with no fall protection in place. Fall protection was needed but the customer was concerned that there was nowhere on the roof to side mount the rails and surface mounting was out of the question because of the potential for water leaking through the roof.
Ideal Shield satisfied the customer’s need by providing them with our 42″ high roof rail system that uses 95 lb counter weighted base plates that do not need to be bolted down to any part of the roof and satisfies all OSHA requirements.
