Guard Rails

Using Guard Rails in your workplace or facitilies

Guard rails perform a wide variety of functions, depending on the setting where and the purpose for which they are used. Typically, these safety rails protect people from harm and prevent unauthorised access to restricted places. Safety guard rails have many practical uses.

They promote safety in workplaces and public areas by preventing slips and falls. Barrier rails can also limit injuries and damage during collisions. A highly visible, yellow guard rail warns people of dangerous areas or places where special precautions are necessary before entry.

Construction sites

Prevent falls by putting up a protective barrier when people work at heights on construction sites. Elevated workplaces automatically pose a risk. Health and safety experts believe that barrier rails are a great fall prevention method and mitigate this risk to reduce and prevent these types of accidents.

Evidence shows the effective elimination of fall hazards when guard rails are installed. Here at Seton, we stock top-quality guard rails for construction sites:

• Open protection barriers with a yellow powder-coated finish are highly visible and can even be seen in misty or rainy weather conditions. The included floor fixings make installation quick and effortless. Use these to define hazardous areas on working sites.


• Steel barrier panels are ridged for added strength and rigidity. They are quick and easy to install and form a solid protective barrier.

Pedestrian areas

Protecting pedestrians in public areas can be challenging. A guard railing system can effectively protect people in areas where vehicles move close to them, such as car parks or schools. Guard rails can also reduce the risk of collisions between people and vehicles when installed at pedestrian crossings.

A protective barrier can prevent people from walking into roads when visibility is limited due to crowding, such as during social and sports events, or due to sharp corners. These barriers also support pedestrians when they have to walk up or down inclines and declines. They can also be added protection for people who have mobility issues or disabilities.

Seton’s high-impact protection guards are robust and durable, making them ideal for barrier protection in car parks, traffic routes and other public areas. The heavy-duty steel effectively channels impacts to limit and protect pedestrians from injuries.

Our wall-mounted removable steel hoop guards are the perfect solution to protect and segregate vulnerable zones such as pedestrian walkways. These rail guards come in hot-dipped galvanised and powder-coated options for outdoor use or primed and powder-coated for indoor use.
