Applications of light gauge steel edge protection
Working at heights on light gauge steel framing presents significant safety risks, making temporary edge protection essential. As a widely used material in modern construction, light gauge steel offers strength, durability and cost-effectiveness but without proper safety measures, workers are exposed to potential falls.
At EWRG, we provide engineered, certified solutions designed to improve safety in light gauge steel construction across various industries.
- Residential construction — Light gauge steel framing is commonly used for roof trusses, rafters and structural frameworks in houses and townhouses, requiring reliable edge protection to keep workers safe during installation.
- Commercial and industrial buildings — Warehouses, office buildings and retail complexes often require robust edge protection for workers handling roofing, cladding and steel assembly, with EWRG’s solutions helping to reduce fall risks and ensure compliance with Australian safety standards.
- Infrastructure and public projects — Transport hubs, stadiums and government buildings require adaptable edge protection that meets Workplace Health & Safety (WHS) standards to improve worker safety on complex steel structures.
- High-rise and multi-level construction — Multi-story projects, including hotels, apartments and skyscrapers, benefit from temporary guardrails and safety barriers to reduce fall risks, with EWRG’s adaptable solutions providing protection for balconies, facades and mezzanine installations.
- Maintenance and retrofitting projects — For roof repairs, HVAC installations and solar panel mounting, temporary edge protection is essential. EWRG’s solutions offer a flexible, non-invasive way to enhance safety on existing light gauge steel structures during maintenance and upgrades.
