Roof Edge Protection

Roof edge protection includes safety measures like guardrails, toe boards, and temporary edge protection systems to prevent falls during roofing work. It is critical for ensuring the safety of workers and complying with industry safety standards.

We offer temporary roof guardrails, physical barriers, and custom edge protection systems tailored to suit various roof types, including those with solar panels and steep pitches.

Our systems use components like top rails, mid rails, toe boards, and infill panels to create a secure barrier that prevents workers from falling, tools from slipping, and debris from falling.

Yes, all our systems meet or exceed Australian Standards, including requirements for guardrail height, distance between the roof and rails, and resistance to impact loads.

Roof edge protection is generally required for roof construction, maintenance, and repair projects, especially on job sites with wet tiles, steep pitches, or complex roof structures.

Absolutely! We design systems tailored to your project’s needs, ensuring features like toe boards, infill panels, and bottom rails or toe boards are placed where they’re most effective.

The cost varies based on the project size, complexity, and specific edge protection needs. Tequa offers cost-effective solutions without compromising safety or quality.

Yes, our systems include components like toe boards and infill panels, which prevent tools and materials from slipping off the roof and causing injury.

Guardrails are typically positioned inside the roof edge, measured from a point 300 mm inside the roof line. This ensures a secure distance while maintaining easy access for workers.

Tequa combines safety standards, innovative designs, and unmatched expertise to deliver reliable edge protection systems that ensure safe working conditions for all roofing projects.

Yes, our edge protection systems are designed to accommodate roofs with various pitches, ensuring safety for workers regardless of the slope.

Temporary edge protection systems are versatile, easy to install, and provide robust safety for short-term projects, such as roof construction or maintenance tasks.

Toe boards prevent tools, materials, and debris from slipping off the roof surface, minimizing hazards for workers and construction and maintenance personnel below.

For slippery roof surfaces, such as wet tiles, we recommend edge protection systems with enhanced features like mesh infill panels and non-slip components to reduce risks.

Australian Standards specify requirements for guardrail height, distance between the roof and guardrails, and resistance to impact loads. Tequa ensures full compliance with these guidelines.

Yes, our systems are compatible with roofs equipped with solar panels, offering safe access and protection for workers during installation or maintenance.

The critical angle, determined by the roof pitch, influences the placement of guardrails and other physical barriers to ensure effective fall protection.

The bottom rail enhances the stability of the guardrail system and works with toe boards to create a secure barrier that prevents objects and workers from slipping off the roof.

The clear gap, such as the space between the gutter and a guardrail, must comply with safety standards to prevent workers or objects from passing through.

Edge protection is critical for job sites as it safeguards roof workers, reduces risks of debris falling, and ensures compliance with industry safety standards and risk control measures.

Infill panels are mesh or solid barriers installed between the rails of an edge protection system. They eliminate clear gaps, providing added protection against falls and preventing tools or debris from slipping through.

Guardrails, combined with toe boards and bottom rails, create a physical edge protection barrier that prevents tools and materials from sliding off the roof, reducing the risk of injuries and property damage.

Key risks include falls from heights, debris falling, and slippery roof surfaces. Tequa’s systems are designed to mitigate these hazards by providing secure barriers and safe access points.

Yes, our systems are compatible with various roof cladding types, ensuring effective protection for metal, tile, and other roofing materials.

The distance between the roof and guardrail is measured to ensure workers remain safely within the roof edge while having adequate mobility for tasks. It is typically set at a point 300 mm inside the roof line, complying with safety standards.

Roof edge protection systems create secure barriers using components like guardrails, mid rails, and toe boards, which physically block workers from moving beyond the roof edge or slipping off the roof surface.

For all roofing work, safety measures such as risk assessments, edge protection systems, and physical barriers like temporary roof guardrails are generally required to meet Australian Standards and ensure worker safety.

Yes, Tequa’s edge protection products are a cost-effective solution for ensuring safety on job sites. They prevent accidents and reduce the potential costs of fines or downtime due to non-compliance with safety regulations.
