u IMPORTANT INFORMATION u
ADDITIONAL WARNINGS FOR STEEL DECKING
OSHA STANDARDS REQUIRE THAT ENGINEERING TEST DATA CERTIFICATION MUST BE AVAILABLE
FOR TECHNICAL SUPPORT OR TO REORDER
FAILURE TO OBSERVE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
DO NOT use sheet metal screws to anchor the Safety Boot Guardrail System directly into steel decking (e.g., 18 - 22
gauge B-Deck, F-Deck or similar corrugated steel decking). Sheet metal screws, self starting screws or similar are NOT capable
of withstanding a 200 pound load in corrugated steel decking and DO NOT meet United States Federal OSHA guardrail regulations.
Each employee in a hoist area shall be protected from falling 6 feet (1.8 m) or more to lower levels by guardrail
systems or personal fall arrest systems. If guardrail systems, (or chain, gate, or guardrail) or portions thereof, are
removed to facilitate the hoisting operation (e.g., during landing of materials), and an employee must lean through the access
opening (to receive or guide equipment and materials, for example), that employee shall be protected from fall hazards by a
personal fall arrest system. [§1926.501(b)(3) Duty to have fall protection]
