What is Edge Protection
Edge protection is a system of barriers or guardrails that helps prevent people, tools, and materials from falling from elevated work areas. It’s primarily used on roofs, balconies, and other high areas where there’s a risk of falling.
Edge protection is considered the preferred control for preventing falls from roofs on single-story buildings because it isolates multiple workers from the risk of a fall. When properly implemented, it significantly enhances overall site safety and worker confidence, leading to improved efficiency and productivity.
When Edge Protection Scaffolding is Required
Edge protection safety is a fundamental component of any site, it is necessary in the following situations:
- On all exposed edges of a roof, including building perimeters
- Around skylights and other fragile roof materials
- At openings in the roof or floor areas
- When working at heights where a fall could result in injury
