full knowledge of their proper use. 4. OSHA and CSA regulations, the Ontario
Building Code and the Code de Sécurité Pour Les Travaux de Construction
require that employers provide training in using and caring for this product.
IMPORTANT: Ensure workers near the unguarded edge are protected from falls
by alternative means (e.g. travel restraint, fall arrest, netting) until the
guardrail system is fully installed
MOUNTING THE BRACKETS:

INSTRUCTION FOR USE After mounting the bracket, place the adjustable post in
the socket and secure it with a clevis pin at the desired height. Next, the
top and middle rails on brackets are installed to create a continuous
guardrail system that meets OSHA and CSA regulations, the Ontario Building
Code, and the Code de Sécurité Pour Les Travaux de Construction. Finally,
secure the top and middle rails with the gravity locking pin.

TOEBOARD IMPORTANCE: Toe-boards are protective barriers that are placed near
the ground or walking surface. They are often used when there is a risk that
tools or other objects could fall onto a person from a platform or other
raised area, or through a floor opening or hole. They are often used as a part
of a guardrail system. As well, teaboards alert workers to an edge, providing
added protection to help prevent individuals from slipping over the edge. If
the guardrail system isn’t installed on a parapet wall, Toe-boards must be
installed and secured in the provided section of the guardrail. The 6” high
toe-boards also ensure that the post stays in the regulation’s code height
range between the horizontal bars at any adjusted post height. Install a toe-
board in the bracket with a minimum of 6” height if the post isn’t installed
on a parapet wall to prevent objects from rolling down or being accidentally
kicked off the roof bars to stay within regulations.
