Access Tower & Edge Protection for Industrial Warehouse in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire
Location: Units C-D Elstree Trade Park, Borehamwood Hertfordshire WD61GJ
B-MAT Scaffolding was appointed to provide a safe and compliant access solution at an industrial warehouse unit in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. The project required a combination of a scaffold access tower and full perimeter edge protection to enable contractors to carry out works safely at roof level.
Given the scale and layout of the warehouse, a carefully planned access system was essential to ensure operatives could reach all required areas efficiently while maintaining strict safety standards. A scaffold access tower was installed to provide secure vertical access, allowing safe movement of personnel and materials between ground and roof level.
Once access was established, edge protection was installed around the roof perimeter, creating a controlled and protected working environment. This allowed contractors to carry out inspection, maintenance, or repair works without reliance on harness-only systems, significantly reducing the risk of falls.
Key Safety & Compliance Features

All works were carried out by trained and qualified operatives, with particular attention given to site safety, access control, and coordination with other trades operating within the warehouse environment. The scaffold system was installed efficiently and maintained in a safe condition for the duration of the works.
Installation and dismantling were completed in line with agreed schedules, ensuring minimal disruption to the client’s operations while maintaining a safe working environment at all times.
This Borehamwood project demonstrates B-MAT Scaffolding’s capability to deliver practical, safety-led access solutions for industrial and commercial environments. By combining access towers with robust edge protection systems, we continue to support safe and efficient working at height across Hertfordshire and beyond.
