Roof edge protection needs the right ballast to stay stable on site, and the Safeguard 25kg Weight is the confirmed weight used with the Safeguard system. At 25 kilograms, it forms part of a system approved to the Class A requirements for sloping roofs under 10 degrees, alongside components like the Safeguard Frame.
As a temporary edge protection solution, the Safeguard system needs to hold its position under real site conditions, and the Safeguard 25kg Weight is tested to support that. The system has passed the Class B Dynamic Load Test of BS EN 13374:2004, giving you extra confidence if someone stumbles into the barrier while working at height.
You use the Safeguard 25kg Weight across all bays and all end frames of the roof edge protection system, and specifically on end frames where the roof slope is greater than 3 degrees and up to 9 degrees. If you need to upgrade freestanding demarcation into Class A edge protection instead, our Ballast Bracket offers another ballasted option.
