Commonly Asked Questions

Selecting Optimal Temporary Edge Protection for Roofs

When you’re in the market for temporary edge protection or hang on edge protection, it’s essential to assess several factors. Ensure the system has sturdy top, mid, and bottom rails or toe-boards with minimal gaps, no more than 450 mm apart. For robustness against impact, opt for toe-boards where bottom rails aren’t utilised. It’s also important to have adequate measures to stop tools or debris from falling, such as mesh infill or establishing exclusion zones below.

Impact of Safety Standards on Roof Guardrail Implementation

Safety regulations play a pivotal role in the installation of roof guardrails. They dictate the materials, design, and placement of guardrails, ensuring that the installed systems provide sufficient protection for those working at heights. Compliance with the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and regulations made under it are non-negotiable, mandating inspections and maintenance according to Australian standards.

Estimated Costs for Temporary Edge Protection Installment

The pricing for installing temporary edge protection varies based on several aspects, such as the roof area, duration of the project, and complexity of installation.

Don’t forget to check if the provider offers both installation training and engineering documentation, which are critical for on-site safety.

Procedures for Secure Temporary Edge Protection Installation
