Always use a return at the beginning and end of a continuous run or any
interruption in a run. The return should be positioned approximately at a 90
degree angle to the run.

Never use SafetyRail 2000 rails for hoisting.
!
Verify that the bottom of the base has four rubber pads. Install new pads if any

Bases must be placed at a minimum of 18” away from the leading edge where
there is no curb or parapet on a leading edge. Bases may be placed next to the
