The inventory, the inventory!
It's about the law, not the design. Site plan and development plan count.

I didn't mean an example, but the specific situation.

There is no inventory, inventory. Everything is in planning. Therefore, everything will be included in the building application. We are here in the outer area §34, everything is okay and possible, it has been clarified (preliminary building inquiry). ... but this does not change what I want to inquire about .... see post, "....... does anyone have experience with this and/or has built or installed something similar ... (free-standing/freestanding fall protection!) Situation roughly like in the photo, only as a flat roof new build ...

Hello,

it always depends on the roof structure underneath. If the flat roof is constructed with trapezoidal sheets, insulation, and greenery, you have nothing to attach the railing to. If you have a concrete ceiling, you can drill any railing you want onto it.

But beware: Any penetration of the sealing membranes carries the risk of leaks!

A plan or sketch would therefore be really helpful.

No offense intended, but I had to smile a bit at "freitragende Absturzsicherung"

Thank you,... so that makes two of us, I also have to smile here because apparently no one really reads or makes the effort to do so..... and I hope you know what the term "freitragenden/selbsttragenden Absturzsicherung" actually means..., and for the second time.. no, no concrete ceiling (otherwise you could fix it quickly, which I don't want, because of penetration... see text), and yes.. I know it’s all written there... no penetration... yes, therefore the question I asked again earlier..., or actually asked at the beginning..., no sketch needed for that!.., I want to know who might have already installed something like this, is satisfied, or can recommend a manufacturer..., for example attached.

It is often done retrospectively in industrial construction. It has approval, looks sh… and is executed when no one had the fall protection on order beforehand.



This is also quite common in industrial construction. A skylight (usually made of GRP) with an electric motor and a ladder leaned against it from below when someone has to go onto the roof for maintenance purposes. Advantage: from the inside you have no unsightly climbing ladder on the wall. The alternative would be a fixed climbing ladder on the outside wall. Visually also not a highlight.

I only always get stomach aches when a railing has no proper connection to the substrate. Sure, it works with large base plates (= own weight) and gravel on top. You can have it made by any locksmith or like the manufacturer of your picture (Fa. Hei...). Personally, I have no experience with such railings.

How often does someone have to go on the roof for maintenance purposes? There is also the possibility to provide eyelets on the attachment ring of the skylight, on which you can hook yourself in with a safety rope in case of maintenance. Then the railing issue is completely eliminated.
