The US produced over 200 million tons of solid waste during construction, with less than 30% of this recycled.
Construction companies are responsible for enormous waste, and industry leaders are beginning to install policies to reduce, reuse, and recycle. While these policies are necessary to control the amount of construction waste, insufficient resources, poor standardization, damaging profit margins, and lack of education create obstacles.
At SafetyRespect, we are factoring these problems into our products, ensuring that we can reuse everything we make with a long product lifespan. Our products are both safe and sustainable best building practices and are growing in popularity.

Over 90% reduction in installation and tear down hours.
No matter how you measure the build time, wooden guardrails vs. SafetyRespect edge protection is not a close contest. Working with our customers, we have determined that both build time and tear down of guardrail are reduced by 90%. (*3 workers to install 50′ linear feet per hour.)
Stop killing trees.
According to our customer’s data, contractors toss about 7% of wood brought to the job site. This waste occurs from knotting, splitting, or unusable old wood. This wood is rarely recycled and usually gets tossed in the waste bin, only to cost the contractor even more money. Think of all the wood used to build the posts, top rails, midrails, and toeboards. The waste is substantial and is an entirely unsustainable practice.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”7695″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Eliminate all that wasted TIME.
With wasted materials comes wasted time. SafetyRespect erases the need for fasteners and tools to build out a guardrail. Our OSHA compliant edge protection barriers systems are pre-engineered, unlike the non-engineered guardrail systems that require constant maintenance and a substantial amount of attention.
Eliminate all that unecessary RISK.
Our customers have eliminated the sawing, silica exposure, struck-by, and electrical hazards created with the activity by reducing the need to build out a guardrail. The risk is eliminated, achieving the top priority in the hierarchy of safety. SafetyRespect’s products are easy to install, and once in place, they are maintenance-free. No rebuilding, no replacement, no moving materials to toss in the waste bin. Our product stacks easily in our stillages for storage or shipment out to the next project.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
