Easy and full access to edges of fall hazards that complies with OSHA regulations.
BlueWater Mfg. invented the ParaRail to allow workers complete access to a leading edge while still being protected by the guardrail. It provides fall protection for a variety of tasks including maintenance for security cameras, antennas, lights, drain cleaning and hoisting of tools and materials. The ParaRail System complies with OSHA regulations for guardrail 29 CFR 1910.23 and 1923.502.
The ParaRail provides the portability and economy of a self-supporting, no drill installation. Just like the SafetyRail 2000, the ParaRail can be erected in minutes. Bases can be easily transported utilizing the EZ Mover and optional EPDM rubber pads and BUR pads are available for added protection of roof surface.
The system can be used as a permanent guardrail or moved to different locations as needed. The ParaRail provides the economies of a fully portable system for commercial, industrial and worksite applications such as office buildings, airports, high-rises, parking decks, raised docks, shopping centers, mezzanines, and bridges.
Each ParaRail is custom manufactured in-house for quick shipment; all we need are the dimensions shown in the diagram to the right. Simply provide these dimensions to us with the desired length and we will manufacture it for you in less than two weeks. Powder Coat and Galvanized finishes are available.

Whether the Danger Side Run is 5' or 1000' in length, you must have these in place at the beginning and at the end of the run. Outriggers are standard rail kits that are connected at approximately 90o to the Danger Side Run of each end rail section.
