Fascia purlin-mounted edge protection systems for safe and efficient roofing

When you’re working on a roof, you want to ensure that you’re staying as safe as possible. Having guardrails in place is essential to prevent accidents — the right guardrail system can save your business time, money and most importantly lives.

It’s not just about doing the right thing, either — it’s also the law. It’s the responsibility of employers to provide a safe working environment for their staff and contractors. So by having the right protective equipment in place, you’ll also be looking after your legal liabilities too.

But if you’re only undertaking a small job, scaffolding and wrapping the entire building can be needlessly clunky, time-consuming and unnecessary. That’s when fascia systems can be a great option.

By attaching to the fascia purlins these systems can stay steady in place and provide an engineered edge protection solution. They differ from more traditional scaffolding systems by focusing solely on providing a guardrail, rather than a working platform. This makes them ideal for projects such as commercial sheds and warehouses, though they can be used in a variety of settings.

Fascia systems are ideal for a range of different purposes, including new roofs, re-roofing and first floor edge protection. Importantly, they’re also designed to avoid damage to the fascia and guttering itself, enabling work on the roof to be carried out without requiring further repairs to other parts of the building.

Here at EWRG, we supply a variety of different types of fascia systems both for hire and for purchase. Each is intended for slightly different applications — so if you’re unsure which is best for your needs, make sure that you get in touch with the team, and we’ll be able to talk you through it.

Fascia Systems Products

FAQs

Specific standards vary by State, but according to OHS regulations and industry guidelines, edge protection is generally required in all cases where contractors and employees are working at a height of 2m or greater. This includes not just roofs but any surface where it is possible to fall 2 metres or more..

For construction and one-off maintenance work, hiring or buying a temporary roof guardrail in Australia is usually the best solution. For areas that will be accessed regularly, permanent height safety systems are a more cost-effective choice.

The Side Bracket is really just a simplified version of the Bolt-on. It’s faster to install and a bit more cost effective if purchasing (as it’s a single bracket rather than two-pieces). The only thing to keep in mind if considering the Side Bracket System is that the span from wall/roof edge to your post/upright is set at a 160mm. If you don’t need any more horizontal clearance than that, this system is a great option.
