They act as a physical barrier and mean workers do not need to be trained to use or inspect them, removing the need to wear personal fall protective equipment (FPE). The Working at Height Regulations 2005 state that collective systems, such as guardrails, must be given priority over personal protective systems wherever possible. Our range of guardrails comply with all relevant British and European standards.
Our free standing guardrails have been specifically designed to provide permanent edge protection where regular access for maintenance and inspections is required. Their design provides permanent edge protection without the need to mechanically fix the system through the roofing membrane or building’s structure.
A simple cantilever principle provides unrivalled strength, stability and safety. Correctly installed, there is no possibility of systems causing damage to the roof or subsequent leaks, as protective rubber pads are applied to all surfaces intended to be in contact with the roof.
The product benefits of guardrails include:
There are various types of guardrails available dependant on the type of installation required, eg:
Available for a range of roof materials and are designed so that access from underneath is not required
Can be used for fixing to parapet walls
Available in different styles and finishes dependent on requirement
Our centres offer both indoor and outdoor purpose-built facilities that have been specially designed to simulate real life working at height hazards in a controlled environment.
