Use this guard rail and cable railing inspection checklist to keep elevated work areas compliant and safe. Verify top rail height (39-45 inches) and load capacity, midrail placement, cable tension and flagging, and the condition of posts and surfaces. Confirm toe boards are present, weighted base systems are secured and set back correctly, and assemblies are free of damage or sharp edges. Capture photos, note defects, and assign follow-up actions to maintain fall protection standards on site.
