Frequently Asked Questions
What does Metro Safety Rail provide?
Metro Safety Rail is a 3-in-1 engineered fall protection system for multi-storey concrete construction. A single system functions as guard rail, travel restraint, and fall arrest, keeping the rail line back from the slab edge and clear of building-envelope work.
How is the system installed?
Cast-in inserts establish the rail line before the pour. The above-slab rental components (posts and cable) are then installed, checked, removed, and redeployed as the structure advances. Installation guides are available on the Resources page.
Is training required to use the system?
Yes. QFPE and QFPS training courses are available (see Resources), and site-specific training is required beyond the standard courses.
Can I purchase the system, or is it rental only?
Both. Purchase includes the inserts and spiders, installation procedures, and training for users and installers. The Pay as you Play rental includes the above-slab components, the 3/8″ braided wire rope assemblies and stanchions, and inspection before and during each job.
What standards does the system meet?
The system is engineered to meet CSA Z259.16, ANSI Z359.6, and OSHA 1926.502. See the Resources page for the full compliance summary.
Is the system patented?
Yes. See the Patents page for the issued patent numbers.
Where does Metro Safety Rail operate?
Metro Safety Rail is based in Calgary, Alberta, with a Vancouver office serving British Columbia projects.
