2.Around every open-sided platform, floor, or runaway that is 4 feet or higher off the ground or next level. The guard rails form a wall that prevents employees in raised levels from falling to the ground.

3. Regardless of height, if a worker can fall into dangerous machines or equipment. In case of an incident, the guard rails will stop an employee from falling into dangerous machines or equipment.
