Edge Protection Barrier
HERMEQ manufactures highly specified Edge Protection Barrier designs in the UK. They are made from mesh with 6mm diameter horizontal wires in the unique 3-2-2 configuration, ensuring you have the most robust, long-lasting edge protection panel that will service your site and keep your workforce safe.
Manufactured with galvanised wire and toe boards, the HERMEQ Edge Protection Panel is powder-coated by our state-of-the-art facility. It can be taken in our highly attractive and eye-catching livery, making your site stand out from the crowd. Also, our revolutionary vertical rails have wider apertures on either side for easier installation, whilst reducing in aperture towards the centre to again ensure strength, reliability and longevity.
If you want your edge protection in your company colours and branding, it's not a problem – and we will be able to have it to you quicker than any other, as we manufacture and powder coat in-house at our factories in the UK. A standard Z-design Edge Protection Barrier means they are compatible with any other similar system and are fully interchangeable.

SafeEdge is a simple-to-install edge protection system vital for contractors to operate safely at height. Our edge protection barriers come in a range of sizes and heights. There are also several different fixings available to allow you to install our edge protection posts in a variety of ways, depending on your site.
Â
Dimensions
Length - 2600mm
The panels overlap so your post centres that hold your barriers are most commonly placed 2400mm apart, centre to centre
Height - 1150mm
We also stock an Edge Protection Enhancement Barrier should your system require extra height. In situations where higher edge protection is required than the standard 1.1m height, our enhancement mesh barrier will increase the height of the edge protection to 1.7m high (please ensure 1.9m Posts are used for this application).

The SafeEdge barrier has two primary purposes, the first is to create a temporary fence around the perimeter of a working area to keep the workforce safe from accidentally falling. Often on high-rise building projects, there are no external walls when the core structure is being built. Therefore to work safely, a temporary fencing system is required to help prevent accidents and keep the workforce safe. The edge protection system is most commonly placed around the perimeter of the building shell, hence being commonly called edge protection, as it is normally installed on the edges of the building. Depending on the structure of the building & type of construction this edge protection system can be fitted to the scaffolding, the steel work or installed into or onto the edge of the concrete slab.
SafeEdge barriers are installed on each floor of a new project to allow work to proceed simultaneously across multiple floors at a much faster speed, safe in the knowledge the workforce is protected.
Â
The second purpose of the SafeEdge edge protection system is to stop materials and debris from leaving the worksite & falling. The mesh barriers will stop large items from rolling or falling, but we have also added a kickplate to the bottom of the SafeEdge barrier to ensure that smaller debris cannot escape underneath the barrier. By installing the SafeEdge barrier around the perimeter you can keep the workforce safe both on the floor the barrier is installed & below.
The SafeEdge barrier is simply fixed to the edge protection posts, which slit into a variety of different bases. There is also a fixing clip that can be placed at different heights on the posts to help lock the SafeEdge barrier safely in place.
Â
All of our SafeEdge barrier systems are rigorously tested and meet all British Standards and industry requirements meaning you can ensure that your workforce is safe and your business is compliant. If you would like your SafeEdge barriers powder coated in corporate colours then reach out to a member of our team. We can make the barriers in any colour required, although the lead time will be slightly longer than our stock barriers.
Our SafeEdge edge protection systems are also commonly used with our safety harness systems. To make working at height as safe as possible for the workforce and civilians, install them alongside catchfans.
Our Edge Protection Barriers are most commonly available in our signature blue-grey, although we do generally stock white and red barriers. We can powder coat these edge protection barriers & add company stickers to the barriers at an additional cost and slightly longer lead time.
