Guardrail

Permanent and Freestanding Edge Protection

Temporary edge protection on a roof is a system of barriers and supports that are installed around the perimeter of the roof to prevent people and objects from falling off the edge. These systems are used during construction or maintenance work to protect workers and others on the roof from falling and injuring themselves.

Temporary edge protection systems can be freestanding or attached to the roof itself. They are typically composed of a series of posts or supports, guardrails, and intermediate rails or toe boards. These components are designed to be assembled and disassembled quickly, without damaging the roof or requiring permanent fixtures.

Temporary edge protection on a roof helps to ensure that those working on the roof are protected from falls, and that those on the ground or adjacent to the area are not at risk from falling objects. This type of protection is often required by law many authorities and is considered an essential component of safe work practices when working at height.

In summary, temporary edge protection on a roof is a system of barriers and supports that are installed around the perimeter of a roof to prevent falls from height. These systems are temporary, and designed for easy installation and removal, making them an effective solution for construction or maintenance work.

Freestanding edge protection is considered a collective protection method because it provides a physical barrier that helps to prevent falls from height. Collective protection methods are designed to protect multiple workers at the same time, rather than relying on individuals to take their own safety precautions.

With freestanding edge protection, the protective barrier is installed around the perimeter of a working area, such as a roof or a raised platform. This creates a safe working zone that is separated from the unprotected edge, and the physical barrier helps to prevent workers from accidentally stepping or falling off the edge.

This method is considered collective protection because it does not rely on individual workers to wear personal protective equipment or to take additional safety precautions. Instead, the barrier provides a level of protection that is available to all workers within the working area, regardless of their individual safety practices.

In summary, freestanding edge protection is a collective protection method because it provides a physical barrier that protects multiple workers from falls from height, without relying on individual safety precautions.

Freestanding Edge Protection

A freestanding guardrail is a type of safety rail system that provides fall protection for workers who require access to the roof. Unlike fixed guardrails that are permanently attached to the roof, freestanding guardrails are modular and can be moved from one location to another as needed.

The freestanding modular safety rail is made from galvanized steel with an anti-corrosion coating, which makes it durable and long-lasting. The components of the system are lightweight, yet strong enough to provide reliable fall protection. The freestanding guardrail is installed without the need for structural drilling, bending, or welding of rails, making it an easy and fast installation process.

Each section of the freestanding guardrail is weighted and designed to meet the highest safety standards, including on single ply PVC/TPO membrane in wet weather. This ensures that the system is safe and effective for workers who require access to the roof.

The freestanding guardrail system is a cost-effective way to provide fall protection for workers on a budget. It is modular, which means it can be added to, reduced, or reconfigured easily, depending on changing needs.

Fixed Guardrail

Fixed guardrails on roofs are permanent safety barriers that are installed on the rooftop around the perimeter of the roof. These guardrails are designed to prevent falls from height and are commonly used in buildings where access to the roof is required for maintenance or other activities.

Fixed guardrails on roofs are typically made from metal or other sturdy materials that can withstand harsh weather conditions and resist corrosion. They are installed at a height of at least 1.1 metre above the roof surface and are anchored securely to the roof structure to ensure stability.

Fixed guardrails on roofs are designed to provide continuous protection along the perimeter of the roof, eliminating the need for temporary edge protection systems. They are often considered a preferred option for buildings that require regular maintenance or inspection work on the roof, as they provide a permanent safety solution.

Some of the benefits of fixed guardrails on roofs include:

– Providing a constant level of protection: Fixed guardrails on roofs eliminate the need to install temporary edge protection systems, which can be time-consuming and less reliable.

– Ensuring compliance with safety regulations: Permanent guardrails that meet safety standards can help building owners avoid non-compliance fines or penalties.

– Reducing maintenance costs: Fixed guardrails require little to no ongoing maintenance once they are installed.

Overall, fixed guardrails on roofs are an effective means of ensuring worker safety and preventing falls from height on rooftops.

Folding Guardrail

A folding roof safety guardrail is a type of fixed guardrail that is designed to fold up and down when it is needed for occasional roof access. The folding guardrail is commonly used in situations where the aesthetics of a building are important and a permanent guardrail that is visible at all times would detract from the appearance of the building.

The folding roof safety guardrail is made from sturdy materials that are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions and protect workers from falls from height. The guardrail is anchored securely to the roof structure and can be easily folded up and down when access to the roof is required.

The folding roof rail can be integrated with other components of modular roof safety systems to provide a comprehensive safety solution for workers who require access to the roof. This makes it a versatile option for buildings where multiple safety systems are required to meet safety regulations.

Overall, the folding roof safety guardrail is a practical and aesthetically pleasing safety solution for buildings where the appearance of the guardrail is as important as its functionality. It provides effective fall protection for workers accessing the roof while remaining discreet and out of sight when not in use.
