Edge Protection Packages: Your Top Questions Answered
When working at heights, safety is not just a priority it is a necessity. Whether you are a professional roofer, a solar installer, or a DIY enthusiast taking on a renovation, having the right safety gear is critical. This is where our Edge Protection Packages come in.
At Australian Scaffolds, we receive many enquiries about how our systems work, their compliance, and which kit is right for the job. To help you make an informed decision, we have compiled a list of the most frequently asked questions about our Edge Protection Packages.
What are Edge Protection Packages?
Edge Protection Packages are comprehensive safety kits designed to prevent falls from heights. Unlike traditional scaffolding, which can be bulky and time consuming to set up, our packages are designed to be lightweight, versatile, and easy to install.
Specifically, we stock the BUTLIN Guardrail System, which is renowned for being “Safer, Faster, Smarter.” These packages allow you to set up a compliant safety rail around the perimeter of a roof or void, ensuring you can work freely and safely without being tethered by a harness at all times.
Are your systems compliant with Australian Standards?
Yes, absolutely. Compliance is non-negotiable in the Australian construction industry. All our Edge Protection Packages are rigorously tested and manufactured to meet AS/NZS 4994.1 (Temporary Edge Protection).
When you purchase from Australian Scaffolds, you are buying equipment that meets strict Work Health and Safety (WHS) requirements. This ensures that you, your employees, and your sub-contractors are fully protected and compliant with Australian law.
Do I need a license to install Edge Protection?
You do not necessarily need a specific scaffolding license to install these systems, but you must be a “competent person.” This means you need to have the knowledge and skills to install the system according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
To support our customers, Australian Scaffolds offers free installation training with our packages. We will walk you through the correct setup procedures so you can feel confident that your site is safe.
Which Edge Protection Package do I need?
We offer a variety of Edge Protection Packages tailored to different building types. Choosing the right one depends on your specific structure:
-
Wall Mount Packages: Ideal for renovations where you can bolt directly into the wall structure.
-
Tile Roof Packages: Designed to slide under roof tiles for a non-intrusive setup.
-
Iron Roof / Purlin Packages: Perfect for commercial sheds or metal roofing projects where you attach to the steel structure.
-
Solar Reroof Packages: Specifically configured to give solar installers maximum room to work on the roof surface.
If you are unsure which package suits your project, our team can review your plans and recommend the best solution.
