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.
