Roof edge protection barriers are essential in order to comply with the HSE recommendations in reducing risk for those working at height.
Roof handrail protection is a counterbalanced safety handrails system designed for working safely at high heights. Our system is a free-standing handrail which avoids penetrating the roofs membrane using rubber counterweights, which contact the roof in intervals, maximising friction whilst avoiding damage to the surface of the roof.

Our free-standing Roof Edge Protection handrail has been designed in accordance with BS EN 13374:2013, roof edge protection regulations, as a class A protection system. Therefore, you can be assured of the strength, quality and safety of our product when working at height. Not all free-standing roof edge protection barriers provide the level of security for rooftop areas that we can guarantee.
A free Standing Roof Edge Protection System is perfect in situations where regular roof access is required for maintenance or inspection purposes.
For example, any building with a flat roof should have a roof inspection at least once a year. This is since flat roofs are prone to issues such as drainage, or lack thereof. Having Roof Edge Protection that does not penetrate the membrane of the building means it will not add to any potential structural damage and will create a safe environment for the inspection to take place.
