Working Safely On The Edge
Anchored guardrail post provides a tie-off point. by Manny Carrillo
When I started my construction career, my work was a passion, it was a challenge, but most of all, it was a discipline. I got to know my tools, their capabilities, and their safety features. I worked with many systems, and I continually questioned why the safety of the end user wasn’t the priority. For the last 25 years, I have worked in Northern California. Notable projects have included:
- The largest suspended waffle deck in the world at the San Francisco Moscone Center.
- Tunnels, bridges, and stations for the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system.
- The segments for the San Francisco/ Oakland Bay Bridge.
- Tunnels for the Pacifica Devil’s Slide Coastal Trail.
- The Folsom Dam Auxiliary Spillway.
But one project forever changed me from a carpenter to an entrepreneur: Five Hundred Capitol Mall (also known as Bank of the West Tower) in Sacramento, CA. On that project, a guardrail post became dislodged during a tightening adjustment, and the bottom half of the unit fell more than 17 floors. I had witnessed many accidents in the construction industry before, but this time, I refused to accept that such failures were unavoidable. I developed a surface-mounted guardrail system with a positive, threaded anchorage system and a dedicated D-ring for a tie-off point.
