What Are Edge Protection Guardrails and Handrails?

Edge protection systems consist of sturdy guardrails and handrails designed to prevent falls from open edges during work at height. These safety barriers create a secure perimeter around roof edges, work platforms, scaffolding, and other areas where there’s a risk of falling.

At Gallon Scaffolding, our edge protection installations are built to meet and exceed the UK Work at Height Regulations, ensuring every site remains compliant, safe, and fully protected.

Why Proper Edge Protection Is Essential

Falls from height remain one of the leading causes of serious injuries in UK construction. Guardrail and handrail systems act as crucial barriers, protecting workers and materials from accidental falls. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) emphasizes that effective edge protection is not only a legal requirement but also a vital safety measure on any site.

With Gallon Scaffolding’s edge protection systems, you can:

Ensure full compliance with current health and safety regulations

Protect workers from potentially fatal falls

Prevent tools and materials from dropping and causing injuries or damage

Avoid project delays and potential HSE penalties

Promote a safer, more productive work environment for everyone on site

Intermediate Guardrails

Positioned at 470mm, intermediate guardrails prevent falls between the rails, adding an extra layer of safety.

Secure Toeboards

Toeboards are fitted securely to stop tools, equipment, and materials from falling, protecting workers and pedestrians below.
