1.0 APPLICATION
1.1 The RoofGuard Classic system is designed to be installed on flat rooftops anywhere
workers may be at risk of fall from an elevated surface while working; rooftops, mezzanines, or
around openings, when workers should be protected by a physical barrier from the hazard.
2.0 System Requirements
2.1 The RoofGuard Classic system is designed to be used on flat roofs (up to 5% grade)
where the baseplate can sit flat on the roof surface. Depending on the roof surface, a rubber
pad or ultra-light paving stone may be used under the base plates to facilitate safe/stable
contact with the roof surface. As freestanding systems rely on friction between the
baseplates and the roofing materials, baseplates MUST NOT be set on ice or snow or other
substances which may permit excessive sliding. Users MUST clear the area prior to placing
the RoofGuard baseplates. If no parapet or curb is present at the roof edge, contact LFP for
a review of the application.
2.2 The RoofGuard Classic railing system is designed to protect workers on rooftop areas
near an opening into which they may fall. It is not intended to protect members of the public
or large gatherings of people from a rooftop edge.
