HERMEQ's stair guard safety post is engineered to provide reliable temporary edge protection in high-risk areas such as stairwells and landings during construction. The universal format allows the same post to be used in both corners and straight runs, making it ideal for reducing kit size and simplifying onsite logistics.
Key Features:

Each post is fabricated from 40 x 40 x 2.5mm hollow steel section and welded to a 150 x 150 x 4mm base plate. Three pre-cut slots on the post body accommodate scaffold boards or timber rails, forming an effective temporary barrier. Fixing holes at the base ensure it can be securely anchored into concrete or timber flooring.
