Details

HERMEQ’s edge protection barrier is a core component of our temporary edge protection system, providing quick-to-deploy perimeter safety where temporary fall protection is critical. Manufactured from galvanised mesh and integrated toe boards, this barrier system meets all British safety standards and is built to handle the demands of modern construction sites. Designed to be installed around the perimeter of floor slabs, lift shafts, stairwells, and scaffold-free platforms, it helps mitigate fall hazards and prevents debris from exiting the working area. The standard Z-profile design ensures full compatibility with HERMEQ edge protection posts and sliders, while also integrating with other similar systems.

3-2-2 mesh pattern - 6mm galvanised steel wires positioned for maximum panel integrity.
Fast, modular installation - Slots into HERMEQ edge protection posts using retaining slide clips.
Customisable finish - Choose from HERMEQ stock colours or request corporate branding and colours.
Meets safety standards - British Standards compliant for edge and fall protection on active sites.
Reusable and tough - Built to withstand repeated use in high-traffic site environments.

Each panel measures 2600mm long and 1150mm high, with an overlapping configuration for seamless perimeter coverage. For taller protection needs, the panel pairs with our enhancement barrier to extend system height to 1.7m — just pair with 1.9m HERMEQ posts for full compliance. This barrier provides reliable temporary edge protection across multi-storey builds, rebar slab work, or large footprint developments where worker safety is paramount. The built-in kickplate prevents small debris from escaping, while the mesh structure ensures high-visibility site control. It's ideal for clients looking to safeguard personnel while maintaining flexibility in their protection layout.

HERMEQ stocks a wide range of equipment for Working at Height including Edge Protection Systems, Fall Arrest Systems, and Harnesses & Lanyards conforming to all required safety specifications and regulations.
