Scaffolding Hire Details

Triple Handrail Roof Edge Protection – Industrial Unit, Hitchin

B-Mat Scaffolding was appointed to install a triple handrail edge protection system on a flat roof at an industrial unit in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, creating a safe working environment for contractors carrying out roof works.

Working at height on flat roofs presents significant risk, particularly on commercial and industrial buildings where regular maintenance, inspections, or upgrades are required. Our solution provided a fully compliant edge protection system, allowing trades to operate safely and efficiently across the entire roof area.

Scope of Works

  • Installation of triple handrail edge protection system around full roof perimeter
  • Creation of a secure, clearly defined safe working zone
  • Ensuring compliance with current Work at Height Regulations
  • Adaptation to existing roof structure without disruption to ongoing site operations

Safe Working at Height

The triple handrail system provides enhanced fall prevention compared to standard guardrails, offering additional protection for operatives working near roof edges. This was particularly important for this project due to the nature of the works and the need for ongoing access across multiple areas of the roof.

All works were carried out by our experienced team, ensuring the installation met strict safety standards while maintaining efficiency and minimal disruption to the client’s operations.
