- High-vis finish – Powder coated in yellow to stand out on-site and resist wear.
- 1000mm height – Ensures adequate coverage and compliance with regulation standards.

Designed specifically for the construction sector, the HERMEQ Trestle Table Safety Post is a must-have for contractors and site managers who need to implement temporary fall protection quickly. Each post allows scaffold boards or timber planks to be inserted through precision-welded slots, forming a strong handrail or toe-board barrier. This simple addition instantly transforms trestles into safety-compliant platforms, reducing fall hazards.
Using steel square hollow section construction, these posts are built to withstand demanding site environments. The powder-coated finish not only improves corrosion resistance but also improves visibility for site workers. Safety is further enhanced by plastic caps fitted on the top of each post, removing any sharp edges and making handling safer. These posts are ideal for rapid deployment on live sites, particularly where scaffolding is not viable or practical.
As part of HERMEQ’s scaffolding accessories range, the trestle safety posts seamlessly integrate with our Builders Trestle Tables and broader Scaffolding Equipment range, providing flexibility for evolving site needs. Whether you’re constructing temporary platforms, refurbishing interiors, or setting up secure access zones, this product adds critical protection at height. These benefits not only enhance site safety, but also reduce liability and downtime, improving overall site efficiency.

How it works: The HERMEQ Trestle Table Safety Post is installed vertically onto a trestle with a secure clamping base. Once fixed, the pressed slots on the steel post accept standard 38mm scaffold boards, forming a temporary railing or edge barrier. This setup mimics a fixed scaffold handrail, but with quicker install and lower material overhead.
Ease of Integration: The post fits all standard flat-top trestles up to 40mm deep, with no special tools required. The fixings ensure the post remains stable even under site vibration or board pressure. The plastic end cap prevents user injury and contributes to cleaner handling.
Durability in Harsh Environments: Built to endure the challenges of active job sites, the steel frame resists bending and corrosion. The bright yellow powder-coated surface is scratch-resistant and improves visibility for pedestrian or site vehicle awareness. Combined with the HERMEQ production process and QC controls, users can rely on consistent quality and performance from batch to batch.
Compatible Products: These safety posts are designed to work seamlessly with HERMEQ's Builders Trestle Tables. They can also enhance any temporary platform setup when paired with Scaffolding Boards and Ladders, ensuring full mobility and safety across multi-level work areas.
