What Are Edge Protection Guardrails and Handrails?

Edge protection includes guardrails and handrails that stop falls from open edges when working at height. These barriers form secure perimeters around work platforms, roof edges, and other fall-risk areas. Our systems meet Work at Height Regulations. 

Why Is Proper Edge Protection Essential?

Falls from height are a main cause of serious injuries in UK construction. Guard rail systems act as barriers to stop workers and materials from falling. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) stresses that proper edge protection isn’t just a legal requirement, but a key safety measure.

Our edge protection systems help you:

  • Maintain compliance with current safety regulations
  • Protect workers from potentially fatal falls
  • Prevent tools and materials from falling
  • Avoid project delays and potential HSE penalties
  • Create a safer, more productive working environment

How Do We Ensure Your Edge Protection Is Compliant?

Our family-run business has over 30 years of experience installing scaffolding and safety systems. Each edge protection installation includes:

Proper Guardrail Height

We install top guardrails at a precise height of 950mm above the working surface. This height is carefully set to provide maximum protection for workers.

Intermediate Guardrails

We position intermediate guardrails at 470mm to prevent falls between the rails. These guardrails add extra security and prevent gaps that could pose risks.

Secure Toeboards

Toeboards are securely installed to stop tools and materials from falling. This prevents potential hazards to workers below.

Comprehensive Documentation

We provide thorough documentation for each project. This ensures that every safety aspect is considered and recorded.

Regular Inspections

We conduct regular inspections throughout the project. This makes sure your edge protection remains safe and compliant with regulations.
