    Build-Your-Own No-Drill Safety Railings

    Combine bases, rails, gates, and toeboards to create a barrier customized to your needs. When properly installed in a U-shape, these items meet OSHA 29 CFR 1910.29 requirements for fall protection systems. Rails, bases, and toeboards also meet OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502 requirements for fall protection systems.
    Use rail-to-base connecting pins to secure the rails to the bases.
    To protect the work surface from scuffs and scratches, use nonskid pads.
