Abstract
Existing information is compiled that would assist in determining structural and nonstructural safety requirements for guardrails used for the protection of employees against occupational hazards. Critical aspects of guardrail safety are identified through exploratory studies consisting of field surveys or prototypical installations, review of existing standards and industrial accident records, and compilation of relevant anthropolometric data. These exploratory studies will be utilized to design an experimental program that will consist of structural tests to determine loads and nonstructural tests to determine geometric requirements for guardrail safety.
