Freestanding Roof Edge Protection Guardrails


Using proven counterbalance design, the configuration of Heightsafe’s Freestanding Roof Edge Protection systems provide the ability to protect personnel with no need to penetrate the roof surface.

The system offers a collective measure of personal protection for those required to access and work on flat roofs. Freestanding Guardrail and Handrail offers the benefit of not directly penetrating the roof space, meaning it can be moved and changed to suit the needs of the space.

Additional elements can be added, the configuration can be easily changed, and the system is quick and easy to install. Freestanding Edge Protection is made using a counterbalance design, with recycled PVC rubber feet providing a non-slip base, and galvanised steel frames that offer the highest form of protection.
