Guardrails & Handrails
Guardrails physically isolate workers from fall risks (at leading edges, around roof hatches) whilst handrails physically support safe use of rooftop walkways
Edge Protection Guardrails
Edge protection guardrails offer critical fall prevention by introducing a physical barrier that isolates workers from fall risks at leading edges.
- Outer roof edge protection — guardrails installed at the outer edge of building’s roof
- Between roof levels — guardrails prevent workers from falling between roof levels
- Plant deck edge protection — guardrails to prevent falls off roofplant platforms
Roof Access Hatch Guardrails
Roof access hatch guardrails physically mitigate the risk of workers falling through an open roof hatch or roof void.
- New installations — guardrails must accompany new roof access hatch installations
- Retrofitted guardrails — an option for existing roof hatches that lack fall prevention
- System integration — incorporated within your broader height safety system
Handrails
Handrails can be installed to support safe use of rooftop walkways, reducing slips/trips as users travel between work areas.
- User support — helps users maintain balance and provides physical support
- Incline slip prevention — aids safe navigation on sloped walkway sections
- Leading edge protection — essential where walkways run close to a roof edge
