Why Protector GuardrailProtector Guardrail
Four dimensions on which Protector Guardrail defines the category of industrial safety. Structural engineering combined with regulatory excellence.
Permanent safety, no temporary risks
The market often wrongly compares permanent systems against EN 13374. This is a standard for temporary construction-site edge protection (max. 6 months) that must already be dismantled at wind force 6. A ‘temporary’ solution on a permanent building is technically irresponsible and brings risks and unnecessary costs.
Protector Guardrail is the only structural, permanent solution. Discover the difference:
| Criterion | Temporary system | Protector Guardrail |
|---|---|---|
| Availability | Temporary system: Only during setup | Protector Guardrail: Always present |
| Wind load | Temporary system: Limited (storm-sensitive) | Protector Guardrail: Structurally calculated (EN 1991) |
| Risk profile | Temporary system: Risk at every assembly and dismantle | Protector Guardrail: Safe basis (one-time) |
| PPE & rescue | Temporary system: Annual inspection and rescue plan required | Protector Guardrail: Not needed |
| Documentation | Temporary system: Often incomplete | Protector Guardrail: Full lifecycle dossier |
| TCO (25 years) | Temporary system: High — recurring per deployment | Protector Guardrail: One-time investment |

Individual PPE: the last resort, not the solution
Under EU Directive 89/391/EEC, safety managers are legally required to give collective measures priority over individual protection.
- 01Primary measure
Collective protection
Required by law before any individual measure is considered.
- 02Derogation
Organisational measures
Permitted only when collective protection is technically infeasible.
- 03Last resort
Individual PPE
Documented justification required when tiers 01 and 02 cannot apply.
A system that works regardless of what anyone does
No training dependency
Unlike lifeline systems, Protector Guardrail requires no certification, annual training, or specific user knowledge to prevent a fall.
No supervision required
Eliminate the liability of checking whether workers are correctly harnessed. The structure is the supervisor.
No gaps
Human error causes 85% of roof incidents. Protector Guardrail removes the human variable from the safety equation entirely.
