Edge Protection Systems

Edge Protection for Safer Manchester Sites

Falls from height are the leading cause of serious injury on construction sites. Edge protection systems are the most effective way to prevent them. Bee Scaffolding Manchester provides comprehensive edge protection for roofs, stairwells, façades, loading bays, and open floor edges across Greater Manchester. Our systems are TG20:13 compliant, rapidly installed, and designed to integrate with your existing scaffold or building structure.

Edge Protection Systems for Every Site Hazard

Different site hazards require different protection solutions. For roof edges, we install steel guard rail systems with toe boards and mesh infill that prevent falls while allowing workers to access the roofline safely. For stairwells and voids, we provide temporary barrier systems and protective covers that prevent falls through open floors. For façade edges on high-rise buildings, we install cantilevered guard rails and mesh screens that protect workers during glazing, cladding, and maintenance work.

All our edge protection systems are anchored to the building structure or scaffold framework with load-tested fixings. We assess the substrate material — steel, concrete, timber, or masonry — and specify the appropriate anchoring method. Every installation is inspected and signed off before handover, with full documentation for site records and insurance requirements.

Edge Protection Applications

Edge Protection Across Greater Manchester

Our edge protection teams are active across every district in Greater Manchester. In Manchester city centre, we install edge protection on high-rise office buildings and apartment blocks where the height and urban environment create significant fall risks.

Salford and Trafford commercial sites use our edge protection for loading bays, material hoists, and multi-storey construction edges where workers and equipment move constantly.

Stockport new-build developments and residential conversions rely on our edge protection for stairwells, roof edges, and floor voids during the construction phase.

Bury, Rochdale, and Bolton industrial and warehouse projects use our edge protection for loading bays, mezzanine edges, and roof maintenance access.

In Oldham, we provide edge protection for hillside properties where the gradient itself creates fall hazards, with systems designed to handle sloping ground and stepped construction.

Edge Protection Areas We Cover

Compliance and Safety Standards

Our edge protection systems comply with TG20:13, the Work at Height Regulations 2005, and BS EN 13374. We conduct pre-installation structural assessments, provide installation certificates, and offer ongoing inspection services to ensure continued compliance. Every edge protection system is covered by our £10 million public liability insurance, and our installation teams are CISRS-certified with specialist edge protection training.
