Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Edge Protection System?
Temporary Edge protection is purpose-built scaffolding designed to prevent personnel from falling over the edge of a building or worksite. Edge protection systems typically consist of guardrails, handrails and, in some cases, fencing that prevent injury and/or death when working at heights.
Is Edge Protection Necessary?
Australian occupational safety and health (OSH) regulations require the use of Roof systems at all sites where personnel or contractors are at risk of falling two metres or more from a flat edge (e.g., scaffolds, stairs, landings). If working on roofs, roof trusses, or ladders, edge protection system must be installed when the potential fall is three metres or greater. Failure to comply with these requirements results in hefty fines.
What is Edge Protection in Scaffolding?
It consists of guardrails, handrails and scaffolding which are erected to form a barrier designed to prevent workers and materials from falling over the edge when work is carried out at heights. It is commonly used on construction sites, and during repairs and maintenance to roofs, roof trusses, solar power systems, and aerial installations. Edge protection systems come in a variety of mounting types and heights designed to suit the unique requirements of each job site such as different roof lines, roof edges and roof surfaces.
Why is Edge Protection Important?
Working at height carries serious risks including injury and death – both to workers and those on lower levels. Edge protection systems provide the sturdy barriers required to prevent people and materials from falling over the edge of the work site. As such, they are vital safety installations at all job sites where there is a risk of falling two metres or more.
